and g) that by doing the acts complained of, respondent has
tempted the morals of not only complainant but also the other
court employees over whom he exercised power and influence as
Executive Judge. The Investigating Justice thereupon,
recommended that respondent be dismissed from the service with
prejudice to re-appointment in any other government position and
with forfeiture of all benefits and privileges appertaining him, if
any. The Court has reviewed the record of this case and has
thereby satisfied itself that the findings and recommendations of
the Investigating Justice are in truth adequately supported by the
evidence and are in accord with applicable legal principles. The
Court agrees and adopts such findings and recommendations
(Tabons v. judge Arceo, A.M. No. RTJ-96-1336, July 25, 1996).

in the Judiciary who, having authority, influence or moral
ascendancy over another in a work environment, demands,
requests or otherwise requires any sexual favor from the other,
regardless of whether the demand, request or requirement for
submission is accepted by the latter. It is committed when the
sexual favor is made as a condition in the hiring or in the
employment, re-employment or continued employment of said
individual, or in granting said individual favorable compensation,
terms, conditions, promotions, or privileges; or the refusal to grant
the sexual favor results in limiting, segregating or classifying the
employee which in any way would discriminate, deprive or
diminish employment opportunities or otherwise adversely affect
said employee. In this case, while respondent exercised moral
ascendancy over Ripdos and Herradura, his subordinates at
Branch 145 where he had temporarily presided as Pairing Judge at
the time, the alleged sexual advances by respondent were not
proven with moral certainty. We find that the totality of evidence
failed to convince that respondent committed the acts imputed
against him.
