    The petitioner, Quinciano D. Vailoces, filed for readmission to the practice of law after being disbarred for falsifying a public document in 1955. While the president had pardoned him, restoring his civil rights, his previous petitions for readmission had been denied. However, in this case the Court ruled he should be reinstated, as he had regained the respect of attorneys and citizens in his community. Testimonials and his civic participation demonstrated his moral reform over 21 years since being barred. Given his age and adequate punishment, the Court ordered he be reinstated to the practice of law.

    IN RE: QUINCIANO D.

    VAILOCES
    117 SCRA 1 September 30, 1982
    FACTS: Petitioner Quinciano D. Vailoces filed for readmission to the practice of law
    and the inclusion of his name in the roll of attorneys. On September 30, 1955, the
    Court of First Instance- Negros Occidental found him guilty of falsification of public
    document hence, penalized him under Article 171 of the Revised Penal Code. The
    Court of Appeals affirmed the verdict. Thereafter complainant Ledesma de Jesus-
    Paras, complainant in the criminal case, instituted before this Court disbarment
    proceedings against petitioner. The President of the Philippines then granted the
    petitioner "absolute and unconditional pardon" and restored him "to full civil and
    political rights. The Petitioner had repeatedly sought readmission to the practice of
    law, the first of which was denied by this Court in a minute resolution. Complainant
    de Jesus-Paras in the original disbarment proceedings, filed an opposition to the
    petitions for reinstatement and readmission to the bar "on grounds of his non-
    reformation, immoral conduct and pretensions of being a licensed lawyer."
    ISSUE/S: Whether or not petitioner Quinciano D. Vailoces should be reinstated in
    the roll of attorneys.

    RULING: The Court ruled that petitioner Vailoces has regained the respect and
    confidence of his fellow attorneys as well as of the citizens of his community. It also
    sustained the conclusion of the Solicitor General that petitioner has sufficiently
    proven himself fit to be readmitted to the practice of law. True it is that the plenary
    pardon extended to him by the President does not of itself warrant his reinstatement.
    The favorable indorsements of the Integrated Bar of the Philippines and its Negros
    Oriental Chapter, the testimonials expressed in his behalf by the provincial governor
    of Negros Oriental as well as the municipal and barrio officials of Bindoy, Negros
    Oriental, his active participation in civic and social undertakings in the community
    attest to his moral reform and rehabilitation and justify his reinstatement. Petitioner,
    now 69 years old, has reached the twilight of his life. He has been barred from the
    practice of his profession for a period of 21 years which is an adequate punishment.
    Chastened by his painful and humiliating experience, he pledges with all his honor
    that if reinstated he will surely and consistently conduct himself honestly, uprightly
    and worthily. The Court ordered the reinstatement of Petitioner Vailoces in the roll of
    attorneys.
