Code of Judicial Conduct / Ethics

SECTION 26. Penalty for multiple offenses. - If the respondent is found liable for more than one offense arising from separate acts or omissions in a single administrative proceeding, the Court shall impose separate penalties for each offense. Should the aggregate of the imposed penalties exceed five years of suspension or PHP 1,000,000.00 in fines, the respondent may be meted the penalty of dismissal from the service, forfeiture of all or part of the benefits as may be determined, and disqualification from reinstatement or appointment to any public office, including in government-owned or -controlled corporations. Provided, however, that the forfeiture of benefits shall in no case include accrued leave credits.

If a single act or omission constitutes more than one offense, the respondent shall still be found liable for all such offenses, but shall only be meted the appropriate penalty for the most serious offense.
