Atty. Larry Gadon seen on the front line of an anti-Sereno rally in Baguio City on Tuesday
MANILA, Philippines — Even before the heated exchange between Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno and Associate Justice Teresita de Castro started at the Supreme Court’s quo warranto oral arguments in Baguio City on Tuesday, one had already started at the rally area outside the venue between Atty. Larry Gadon, who filed the impeachment complaint against Sereno, and the supporters of the chief magistrate.
Gadon’s actions against the supporters earned criticism on social media.
Under the code of professional responsibility, a lawyer must not engage in activities that may taint his law practice such as involvement in scandals that may affect his legal profession.
“A lawyer is not only responsible for himself and his client, he’s also responsible for his actions vis-à-vis society in general. So, in his conduct he must be exemplary also in society. So kung (if a )lawyer, you know, in his public or private life conducts himself in a scandalous manner, pwedeng tingnan po yan ng isang complainant at mag-file ng (a complainant may look into it and file an) ethics complaint,” said IBP Pres. Abdiel Fajardo.
The board of governors of the IBP has discussed the incident and is now getting ready in case someone files a complaint against the lawyer.
