Supreme Court (File photo) MANILA - The Supreme Court (SC) has dismissed a Tagaytay City judge for irregularities in ruling on a property case. The high court found former Judge Edwin Larida Jr. of Tagaytay City Regional Trial Court Branch 18 guilty of grave misconduct and gross ignorance of the law. He was ordered dismissed from service with forfeiture of retirement benefits and with prejudice against re-employment in any branch of government. "His act of issuing a falsified decision raises a serious question on his competence and integrity in the performance of his function as a magistrate. Thus, to protect and preserve the image and integrity of the entire judiciary, we are constrained to impose the dismissal in this case." the SC said in a decision published online Sunday. Larida accused his staff of intentionally removing copies of a decision he supposedly issued on March 14, 2008 and a certificate of finality dated April 18, 2008. He said his staff misled the next judge
