"I had made that mistake. It's an honest mistake but one I should
acknowledge, apologize for, and basically meet the penalty. And I thought that a
huge part of it would be to offer to resign the deanship," said Leonen.
"I have always held myself to the highest standards of integrity, and this has
been especially true in my conduct as Dean of the College of Law. My illustrious
predecessors have set the bar and I intend that it should not be lowered," Leonen
said in his letter.
“Thus, to protect this standard, and the reputation of the College and
University, I offer my resignation as Dean of College of Law," he also said.
The sanctity of marriage as an institution may be open to question as
increasing number of children are either being reared by single parent, or being
forced with a single parent because of non marital childhood. Children may
have an unquestioned right to parental support, be it emotional, psychological
or financial – children of separated parents still have these needs and
separation creates an indeterminable void that may sustain beyond childhood.
Judith (1994) believes that women and men have fundamentally different
behaviors vis-à-vis marriage child bearing and care of children. Women
normally take care of children; take responsibility for them, in spite or despite
their existent or future relationships. Men on the other hand, Judith believes,
have usually relationship with children of partners they are cohabiting with –
this relationship may shear off with partner dissolution. This removal of
paternal link may have severe emotional consequences for younger children.
