VI.
a.
No. If a person knows something relevant in a certain case, he has an obligation to testify so that the truth would be ascertained. That this person is a judge who is also the spouse of the private complainant is immaterial. Performing a legal or moral obligation is not an act of impropriety.
b.
An ideal judge should possess the following qualities:
1. Independent;
2. Competent;
3. Diligent;
4. Impartial;
5. Must possess integrity.
the case is similar to
NORA C. PEREZ and ENGRACIA G. RONQUILLO, complainants, vs. JUDGE JOVEN COSTALES, RTC, Branch 45, Urdaneta City, Pangasinan, respondent promulgated in the month of_____,year 200?.
