Collantes v. Renomeron
Collantes v. Renomeron
Renomeron
FACTS:
Atty. Collantes, counsel for V& G Better Homes Subdivision, Inc. (V&G), filed an
administrative case against Atty. Renomeron, for the latter’s irregular actuations with
regard to the application of V&G for registration of 163 pro forma Deed of Absolute
Sale with Assignment (in favor of GSIS) of lots in its subdivision.
V&G complied with the desired requirements, however, Renomeron suspended the
registration of the documents pending the compliance of the former with their
“special conditions”, which was that V&G should provide him with weekly round trip
ticket from Tacloban to Manila plus P2,000.00 as pocket money per trip, or, in lieu
thereof, the sale of respondent’s Quezon City house and lot by V&G or GSIS
representatives.
Despite the resolution of the Administrator, Renomeron still refused the registration
thereof but demanded from the parties interested the submission of additional
requirements not adverted in his previous denial.
ISSUE:
Whether or not the respondent register of deeds, as a lawyer, may also be disciplined by
the Court for his malfeasance as a public official?
