Concerned Employee v.

Glenda Mayor
Facts:
This administrative case involves respondent Glenda E. Mayor, who served as Court
Stenographer III at the Regional Trial Court (RTC), Branch 72, Olongapo City. She was
temporarily appointed to this position in 1990 and faced allegations of immoral conduct in
a letter dated October 29, 1998, addressed to then Court Administrator Alfredo Benipayo.
The letter, signed by an anonymous "Concerned Employee," accused Mayor of
promiscuous sexual behavior, lacking passing Civil Service eligibility, and receiving
preferential treatment from her superior, Judge E. Ubadias. Judge Ubadias had been
allegedly trying to secure her position despite her questionable reputation.
In response to these allegations, Judge Leopoldo T. Calderon, the Executive Judge,
conducted an investigation, concluding that Mayor had engaged in an immoral sexual
relationship with a married man, Neslie L. LeaAo. Evidence revealed that their
relationship began around February 1996 and resulted in the birth of a child, Glen Hzelle
Joseph E. Mayor, on May 14, 1997. Although Mayor initially filed for parental recognition
while claiming to be single, she later acknowledged that she had known of LeaAo's marital
status by the time their child was conceived. The dynamics of the case evolved as
investigations revealed that comments from employees regarding Mayor's conduct went
unsubmitted.
After multiple investigations including a report by Judge Ubadias and subsequent
recommendations from the Office of the Court Administrator (OCA), it was concluded that
while the anonymous allegations were largely unsubstantiated, the matter of Mayor's
relationship and the illegitimate child constituted disgraceful and immoral conduct. The
OCA thus recommended a six-month suspension without pay, asserting that the high
moral standards necessitated of judicial employees had not been upheld.

Issue:
Did Glenda E. Mayor engage in disgraceful and immoral conduct that warranted
disciplinary action by the Court?
Was the imposition of a six-month suspension without pay appropriate under the
circumstances of the case?
Ruling:
The Court ruled that Glenda E. Mayor was guilty of disgraceful and immoral conduct,
confirming the recommendation to suspend her for six months without pay. Although the
Court upheld the OCA’s overall recommendation, it clarified that the circumstances
surrounding the case presented important nuances requiring a more comprehensive
analysis.
