This is an administrative case against justice of the peace Vicente Roco of Naga, Camarines Sur, charged with immorality. From the report of the investigation conducted by the Department of Justice, it conclusively appears that the respondent is leading an immoral life.

The conduct of a justice of the peace should be above reproach and his life should be such as to insure public respect and estimation for the office he holds, and to retain in a position of trust and responsibility a man who is immoral is contrary to public policy and is conducive to destroying the people ™s faith in the very ones called upon to administer justice. For these reasons, Vicente Roco is hereby ordered dismissed from his office as justice of the peace of Naga, Camarines Sur.

Done at the City of Manila, this twenty-fifth day of August, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and thirty-six, and of the Commonwealth of the Philippines, the first.
