    Monchito Ampeloquio, et al., vs. Atty. Potenciano A. Flores, Jr.

    A.C. No. 11547. February 8, 2017

    Notice

    The complaint alleged that Atty. Flores, who was then the
    counsel of the Monchito et al., was negligent in providing legal services
    in a labor case they filed against their employer. Atty. Flores claims he
    rendered continuous, straight and dedicated legal services to the
    Monchito et al. up to the time that the case reached the Court of
    Appeals and thereafter, the Supreme Court.

    The Investigating Commissioner found that the allegations in the


    complaint are unsubstantiated but recommended that Atty. Flores be
    admonished.

    The IBP Board of Governors reversed the recommendation and


    dismissed the case firstly because Atty. Flores did not encroach upon
    the professional employment of Atty. Mahinay who was Monchito et
    al.s' new counsel in the labor case considering that there was no proof
    that Atty. Flores directly or indirectly participated in the court
    proceedings. Secondly, the allegation that Atty. Flores met and
    discussed the possible settlement of the case with the opposing
    counsel is also not substantiated.

    Should Atty. Flores be disbarred for the alleged violations of


    Canons 15, 17 and 18 of the CPR?
    SC resolves to dismiss the case and consider the same as closed
    and terminated.
