JUDGE GREGORIO D. PANTANOSAS, JR., Complainant, v. ATTY. ELLY L. PAMATONG, Respondent.
D E C I S I O N
CAGUIOA, J:
The practice of law is a privilege burdened with conditions and is reserved only for those who meet the
twin standards of legal proficiency and morality.1 It is so delicately imbued with public interest that it is
both a power and a duty of this Court to control and regulate it in order to protect and promote the
public welfare.2 In this regard, this Court will not hesitate to hold its officers accountable for misconduct
and the violation of the duty to respect the courts.
The facts culled from the records follow.
During the time period material to this case, complainant Judge Gregorio D. Pantanosas, Jr.
(Pantanosas) was the presiding judge of the Regional Trial Court of Cagayan de Oro City, Branch 20
(RTC).3 Respondent Atty. Elly L. Pamatong (Pamatong) was the counsel of plaintiffs in Civil Case No.
2006176, entitled Nick Otero, et al. v. Sheriff of the MTCC Branch 3, Cagayan de Oro City, et al. for
injunction with damages, which was then pending before the RTC.4 ChanRoblesVirtualawlibrary
DebtKollect Company, Inc. On September 8, 2006, during the hearing of an application for the issuance of a temporary restraining
order (TRO) in Civil Case No. 2006176, respondent Pamatong was allegedly asked by complainant
Pantanosas to remove his copia (a hat worn by Muslims) in open court.5 Respondent Pamatong
requested to be exempted allegedly due to religious grounds and embarrassment towards his "bald
pate".6 Complainant Pantanosas thereafter obliged with a caveat that at the next hearing, he would no
longer tolerate the wearing of the copia inside the courtroom.7 ChanRoblesVirtualawlibrary
Three (3) days after, or on September 11, 2006, respondent Pamatong filed an Extremely Urgent
Motion/Demand for Inhibition or Recusal in Civil Case No. 2006176 (Motion for Inhibition), which
contained the following remarks: chanRoblesvirtualLawlibrary
6. Finally, in my thirty (30) years of law practice, I never encountered a Judge who
appears to be as corrupt as you are, thereby giving me the impression that you are a
disgrace to the Judicial System of this land who does not deserved (sic) to be a member
of the Philippine Bar at all.8 cralawred
On the same day, complainant Pantanosas issued an Order refuting all allegations of abusive language
and corruption and denying the Motion for Inhibition for lack of basis while ordering respondent
Pamatong to show cause why he should not be cited in contempt of court.9 In compliance with the
directive of the RTC, respondent Pamatong filed his Answer to the Order to Show Cause and Motion for
ChanRobles Intellectual Property Reconsideration.10
Division
ChanRoblesVirtualawlibrary
On September 18, 2006, complainant Pantanosas filed a Complaint for Disbarment dated September 15,
2006 (Disbarment Complaint)11 before this Court against respondent Pamatong on the following

3/10/2017 A.C. No. 7330, June 14, 2016 - JUDGE GREGORIO D. PANTANOSAS, JR., Complainant, v. ATTY. ELLY L. PAMATONG, Respondent. : JUNE 2016 - PHIL…
grounds: (i) violation of Canon 8 of the Code of Professional Responsibility (CPR)12 for the language
employed by respondent Pamatong in the Motion for Inhibition, and (ii) violation of Canons 113 and 1114
of the CPR for engaging in dishonest and deceitful conduct by supposedly causing the publication of an
alleged bribe in a local newspaper and maliciously imputing motives to complainant Pantanosas, thereby
casting dishonor to and distrust in the judicial system.15 ChanRoblesVirtualawlibrary
On October 25, 2006, this Court issued a Resolution, requiring respondent Pamatong to file his comment
to the Disbarment Complaint within ten (10) days from receipt of notice thereof.16 ChanRoblesVirtualawlibrary
On December 28, 2006, respondent Pamatong timely filed his Comment on the Complaint for
Disbarment and CounterComplaint (Comment).17 Following the September 8, 2006 incident,
respondent Pamatong alleged in his Comment that he filed a complaint against complainant Pantanosas
with the Office of the Court Administrator (OCA) on September 12, 2006, which was docketed as A.M.
OCA IPI No. 072541RTJ.18 Notably, said complaint with the OCA was eventually dismissed through a
Resolution dated February 28, 2007 issued by this Court.19 Respondent Pamatong also alleged in his
Comment that he caused the filing of two (2) separate complaints with two (2) separate offices, namely
the Commission on Human Rights20 and the Office of the Ombudsman21.
In the main, respondent Pamatong averred in his Comment that the actual courtroom demeanor of
complainant Pantanosas during the September 8, 2006 hearing was overbearing, arrogant and
derogatory, while also maintaining the truth of the bribery allegations launched against complainant
Pantanosas.22 By way of countercomplaint, respondent Pamatong claimed that the alleged
discriminatory conduct of complainant Pantanosas violated Canons 1,23 2,24 and 325 of the Code of
Judicial Conduct. Respondent Pamatong alleged that in a meeting with complainant Pantanosas in his
chambers two (2) days before the September 8, 2006 hearing, the latter allegedly solicited from him
One Million Pesos (P1,000,000.00) in exchange for the issuance of a TRO in Civil Case No. 2006176.26
Respondent Pamatong countered that during the TRO hearing on September 8, 2006, he was initially
asked by the complainantjudge to approach the bench in order to inquire about the alleged bribe.27
Upon disclosing that he was unable to secure the money, respondent Pamatong claimed that he was
subjected to antiIslamic comments and humiliating conduct by complainant Pantanosas.28 ChanRoblesVirtualawlibrary
On February 5, 2007, this Court issued a Resolution referring the Disbarment Complaint to the
Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP) for investigation, report and recommendation or decision.29 The
case was initially set for mandatory conference on July 23, 2007.30 After due proceedings, the
mandatory conference was terminated and both parties were required to file their respective position
papers by the investigating commissioner, Commissioner Manuel M. Maramba.31 Accordingly, both
parties filed their position papers dated January 5, 200932 and January 16, 2009,33 respectively.
On April 19, 2010, this Court issued a Resolution, requiring the IBP to inform the Court of the status of
the case.34 In compliance with this Court's directive, the IBP, through Commissioner Albert R. Sordan
(Sordan), filed its Compliance dated June 25, 2010,35 informing this Court that the case was among
those reassigned to Commissioner Sordan for investigation, report and recommendation, which was
duly noted by this Court in its Resolution dated September 8, 2010.36 ChanRoblesVirtualawlibrary
Thus, on August 6, 2010, Commissioner Sordan rendered a Report and Recommendation, the dispositive
portion of which reads:

chanRoblesvirtualLawlibrary
WHEREFORE, it is recommended that for violation of the lawyer's oath and breach of
