Legal profession because their professional and personal actuations are

*r"nting in the basic moral and et'hical fiber so essential for members of the

philipplne BAR. Respondent de los Santos demonstrated and openly

dispiayed his cRos'sLytMMoRAL BEHAVIoR. As the IBP Board of

Governors most accurately ruled, "Respondent's (tre {AS Santoslac't of

COHABITING with Fe Delilahwhile his marriage with Editha is still

subsistingxxx is ADULTEROUS and GROSSLY IMMORAL, in violation of

Canon 1 , R.ule 1.01 of the Code of Professional Responsibility, Atty. Ernesto

David de los Santos is hereby DISBARRED from the practice of law and

his name ordered stricken off from the Roll of Attorneys" (e*Wh"a,fi*

This is the essence of the instant-Disbarment Proceedings against

Ernesto de los Santos and Marujita Palabrica.

De los Santos'GROSS IMMORAL Acts. deservinq Di$barment

The Complainant Quindoza opposes Ernesto de los Santos' Motion for

Reconsideration because the same has no merit at all in Law and in fact, to

wit:

1. THAT, the IBP Board of Governors o is correct in deciding that De

los Santos be forever Disbarred as a Member of the Philippine

BAR because of his gross immoral conduct,s manifesting his

failure, nay refusal, to uphold the Constitution, to obey the lawsof the land and to promote respect for law of and legal processes,

the IBP declaring that:

(1) Atty. de los Santos violated Canon 1, Rule 1.U which

states that:

'A lawyer shall not engage in unlawful, dishonest,immoral and deceitful conduct.'

(2) tmmoral Conduct refers to Moral Depravity. lt is thedcing of an act which is unprincipled, corrupt,dishbnest, deprave and contrary to justice whichincludes ADULTEROUSIILLICITR ELATI O N S H I P ( ennplw*i6' v4pl,id,).

(s) The act of Atty. de los Santos of cohabiting with Fe

Delilah while his marriage with Editha is subsisting isADULTEROUS and GROSSLY IMMORAL(64a'Lw,e,nnplw,il,y guppl,idr).

4. THAT, in a long line of decisions involving immorality, t!"Supreme Court ledared, in no uncertain terms, the need for

Denial and alibi are inherently weak defenses which

(11) Denial, essentially a negation of a fact, does not prevail

over an affirmative assertion of the fact. Thus, courts -both trial and appellate have generally viewed th"defense of deniii in criminal cases with considerable

caution, if not with outright rejection' Such judicial.attitude

comes from the recognition that denial is inherently weak

and unreliable by virtue of its being an excuse too easy

and too convenient for the guilty to make. To be worthy

of consideration at all, denial should be substantiated by

clear and convincing evidence. The accused cannot solely

rely on h"i negativi and self-serving negations, for denial

carries no *"'Ight in law and has no greater evidentiary

value than the-iestimony of credible witnesses who testify

on affirmative matters ("eoy[e vs. Te{asco [G.R. No. 195668'

simply adds irisutt to inJury in this legal exchange;

g. THAT, with Respondent De los santos' flagrant ald callous

immoral acts, the IBP Board of Governors has no other option

except to OTSARR him from the practice of law, by virtue of the

following fundamental rules on Legal Ethics:

(1)"A lawyer shall not engage in conduct that adverselyreftects on his fitnesJ to practice law, nor shall he

whether in public or PRIVATE LlFE,behave in a

profession."

andcommon-law wife lll Marissa are, in his own tacit declaration;OPEN BOOK", I matter of normal course and casual

occurrences in his visible stature as such;

10.THAT, in a desperate attempt to disprove of his Gross lmmoral

Character, de los Santos cited some jurisprudence which, on

closer scrutiny, even works against his rationalization:

(1) De los Santos cites Advincufa vs Svlacabata, uu to

posit that the immoral relationship between Common-Law-Wite I Delilah and De Ios Santos, admittedly an 'OPEN

BOOK,' dOCS NOt AMOUNT tO A GROSSLY IMMORAL ACT

meriting Disbarment;

(2) ln Advincufa y. SvtacabAtA,szthe Supreme Court

merely reprimanded Lawyer Macabata and not imposed

Disbarment on him because his unethical conduct did not

approach the gargantuan magnitude of De los santos'callous sexual adventures;

clienfs head towards him and then kissing her on the

lips, while distasteful, albeit offensive and undesirable, was

not grosslY immoral;

(4) De los Santos' immoral acts, of simultaneously engaging in

illicit, sexual promiscuity with common-Law'Wife lDelilah,Gommon-Law Wife ll Juliewhyn and Gommon'Law Wifelll Marissa, with adisplay ofunabashed sexual adventurism,

has become by pubiic knowledge and so scandal, which

the Respondent casually describes by his own words as.oPEN BOOK,"

(5) Respondent cannot seek comfort in the A{vincu{A v'Svtacabata Case, unless he wants the Supreme Court to

naively grant that his simultaneous sexual adventurism with

three c6mmon-law-wives partook of nothing but "turning

their individual heads to kiss them on their lips, in the

process bringing about four (4) illegitimate children;

1 1. THAT, the singular but patently lameAllBl that Respondent de

los Santos advances, to forestall his DISBARMENT, is that he

(1) This is the ultimate shocker of the saga of De los Santos

who, in effect, declares that it should be acceptable in forLawyers and the rest of the Filipino community to engage in

wanton, illicit sexual relationships with as many women as

one can "buy" through financial influence and power

because the philandering Father can provide the resultantillegitimate offspring with a "comfortable life";

(2) De los Santos advances the hypothesis that his legitimatespouse Edithaabandoned him. Ergo, he now pleads the

leading him to relationshipswith common-Law-WifelDelilah, Gommon-Law Wife ll Juliewhyn and common-law wife lll Marissa;

(6) Respondent De los santos is openly challe-nging Philiqqin"-

Society and the Supreme Gourt with a NEW NORM of

IMMORAL CONDUiT, perhaps silently accepted by some-

abused women, that indeed challenges the sensibilities of

essentially ,piigf,t people, much more the Legal

profession, upon whom much morality is expected;

(7) The abrasive Legal stance of De los santos simply

emphasizes the need for him to be DISBARRED because

he possesses the very immoral character that destroys the

sensible Model that ihe Legal Profession is expected to

manifest in PhiliPPine societY;

Motion for Reconsideration - a Mere Scrap of Paper

The Respondent's Partial Motion (t'd for Reconsideration cannot

assume any semblance of legality and should be treated as a mere scrap of

paper for the following reasons:

12. THAT, the Motion for Reconsideration contains no Verificationof Respondent de los Santos despite the fact that there were

sereral statements that could have only emanated from the

personal declaration, under Oath, of de los Santos and not from

some other person, who hasno personal knowledge of the facts

being advanced, to include de los Santos' declaration that:

(1) Common-Law Wife ll Juliewhynis not hiscommon-law Wife

as against the latter's clear assertion in her complaint;

(2) De los Santos had remorse over his indiscretion in taking

Juliewhyn as another common-law Wife, living with her inBaguio as husband and wife, with all the sexual

promiscuities attendant to said relationship;

(3) He supposedly ended his brief relationship with the

complainant;

(4) De los Santos allegation that he provided love, affection

and necessary financial support to ensure that illegitimate

offspringVeronica lives a comfortable life;

13. THAT, said Motion did not refer to the date when the Respondent

received the IBP Resolution to demonstrate that said Motion was

filed on time and the period of prescription has not set in. The

absence of the Date of Receipt prevents the determination on

whether Prescription has not set in, leading to the unquestionable

impression thai Prescription, in fact, has set in, with such

omission of the relevant dates;

rnr{

President and chief Academic officer of The university of

Manila. The Honorable Board of Governors should not

entertain rtro this irrelevant and immaterial presentations

and oiitortions as they would work also unfairness and

prejudice to an innoceni individual like Dr. Emily Dodson de

Leon;

(5) To herein shed a better light, Dr. Emily Dods-o1 de Leon

has no participation whatsoever in the filing of cBD Case

11-3107 for the alleged acts of lasciviousness committed by

,"=pond"nt against-his own daughter Mergarett veronica

the fact that tie filing of the criminal complaint for acts of

lasciviousness was due to the influence exerted upon her

Meeting on Argu'tt f i, 2006. lt is very interesting to note

that Dr. virgirio-de los bantos was very much disappointed

with his =ofi ,*tpondent Ernesto. He believes that his son

Ernesto is very incompetent and ignorant of the duties of

his position as Registiar and as Executive Vice-President'

As a matter of fa-ct, Ernesto goes to The university of

Manila only to urinate staying there for only 5 minutes and

then leaves. whenever, he is asked to attend meetings he

fails to do so. There was one instance wherein he was

supposed to attend a meeting for The university of Manila

together with an elderly, Dean Millena to wait for him at

Ermita Tourist lnn on ihat very rainy day' How.ever'..he

failed to meet him without even informing Dean Millena that

he would not attend. The poor Dean was waiting for him

helplessly for several hours without even catching a

glimPse of Ernesto;

(10) To controvert the collateral, albeit immaterial and irrelevant'

allusions stated in par. 31 of the Partial Motion, the

complainant is attaching the AFFIDAVIT of Dr. Maria

Corazon Ramona de Llimas de los Santos which was

submitted in sP. Proc. 08-11 8719 in the RTC, Branch 49,

Manila (Probate Case);

(1 1) Dr. Emily de Leon has no interest whatsoever in the

probate proceedings as she is not a legal heir of. the

testator Dr. Virgilio de los Santos and therefore would not

inherit anything from the testator. Neither was there a

bequest in nerlavor in the will' Under this predicament, Dr'

fmity de Leon has no reason at all to entertain ill will for the

filingof respondent's opposition to the probate of the will;
