Re: ANONYMOUS COMPLAINT DATED FEBRUARY 18, 2005 OF A "COURT PERSONNEL" AGAINST JUDGE FRANCISCO C. GEDORIO, JR., RTC, BRANCH 12, ORMOC CITY.

A.M. No. RTJ-05-1955 | 2007-05-25

DECISION 
 
 
SANDOVAL-GUTIERREZ, J.: 
 
On February 24, 2005, the Office of the Chief Justice received an anonymous letter[1] dated February 18, 2005 from "a court personnel" denouncing Judge Francisco C. Gedorio, Jr.[2] of the Regional Trial Court (RTC), Branch 12, Ormoc City, as a disgrace to the bench for behaving unprofessionally. 
 
The letter states that Judge Gedorio: 
 
1. shouts at and reprimands lawyers, personnel, witnesses, and litigants in open court; 
 
2. does not know the basic rules of procedure and the law; 
 
3. is corrupt, and favors two or three lawyers...
