This is a 1998 Supreme Court decision. Now, how does a typhoon and potential flooding relate to liability and negligence? 🤔

In Ruiz vs. People, G.R. Nos. 209073-74, January 27, 2025, the Supreme Court has held that:

Sadly, the presence of corrupt public officials who continuously cling like a leech on their seats in public office is a complete and utter travesty. There are undeserving public servants who utterly defied their oath and violated their duty not only to the Constitution but also to the public. A person's desire to hold public office should not be based on selfish ambitions to enrich oneself at the expense of the government; worse, of the public. For a public post is not and should not be looked at as a lucrative business, where the primordial mission is to make oneself abundant and gain advantages for his or her own comfort and satisfaction. To be a public official is a privilege granted only to those who have met the required high standards of qualifications. "Only those who can live up to such exacting standard deserve the honor of continuing in public service."
