MOTION TO DISMISS A.M. NO. MTJ-12-1813, A.M. NO. MTJ-12-

1815 AND A.M. NO. MTJ-13-1821 ON GROUND OF DENIAL OF
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO DUE PROCESS

I, the undersigned respondent and unto this Honorable Court most

respectfully aver:

1. That I filed my final and last appeal dated July 12, 2017 and
supplemental appeal dated July 26, 2017 on A.M. No. MTJ -12-
1813 et al. pending resolution before the Honorable Supreme
Court En Banc;

2. That I filed my Omnibus Motions to Deconsolidate and Omnibus

Motions to Dismiss dated November 23, 2017 on A.M. No. MTJ -
12-1813 et al. pending resolution before the Honorable Supreme
Court En Banc;

3. That I filed Supplemental Motion to Dismiss dated November 23,

2017 on A.M. No. MTJ -12-1813 et al. before the Honorable
Supreme Court En Banc;

i
4. That I move to dismiss A.M. No. MTJ-12-1813, A.M. No. MTJ-12-
1815 AND A.M. No. A.M. NO. MTJ-13-1821 on the ground of
denial of my constitutional right to due process under the following
discussions and arguments:

A. A.M. No. MTJ-12-1813 and A.M. No. MTJ-12-1815

In these two administrative cases docketed as A.M. No. MTJ-12- 1813

and A.M. No. MTJ-12-1815, the complainant is the Honorable Office
of the Court Administrator thus when it reported and recommended for
the imposition of harsh penalties upon me despite of absence of
damage and injury to the State and taxpayers as well as absence of
damage and injury to branch clerk of court Mrs. Leilani Tejero - Lopez
and clerk Mrs. Mariejoy Lagman who performed official duties
notwithstanding the irregularities and illegalities surrounding their
appointments, there was a conflict of interest committed by it
tantamount to denial of my constitutional right to due process, the
Office of the Court Administrator became police, prosecutor, judge,
jury and executioner — all rolled into one. Obviously, I cannot expect
fairness from the Honorable Office of the Court Administrator, and the
satisfaction of the expectation of fairness is part and parcel of due
process when I am entitled to a cold neutrality of an impartial judge.

In Castillo et al. vs. Judge Juan, G.R. Nos. L-39516-17, January

28, 1975 citing Gutierrez v. Santos, L-15824, May 30, 1961, 2
SCRA 249: "It has been said, in fact, that due process of law requires
a hearing before an impartial and disinterested tribunal, and that every
litigant is entitled to nothing less than the cold neutrality of an impartial
Judge." In Geotina v. Gonzales, L-26310, September 30, 1971, 41
SCRA 66: “A judge, according to Justice Castro, the ponente, should
strive to be at all times "wholly free, disinterested, impartial and
independent. Elementary due process requires a hearing before an
impartial and disinterested tribunal. A judge has both the duty of
rendering a just decision and the duty of doing it in a manner
completely free from suspicion as to its fairness and as to his
integrity."

 B. A.M. NO. MTJ-13-1821

I was informed that there are numerous Facebook accounts with

name Eliza B. Yu. Please see previously submitted Exhibit “1” to the
Honorable Office of the Chief Justice and the Honorable Office of the
Court Administrator.

There are two Facebook accounts with similar names Eliza B. Yu, one
activated and the other deactivated that appeared at my kin’s friend’s
list. Please see previously submitted Exhibit “2” to the Honorable
Office of the Chief Justice and the Honorable Office of the Court
Administrator.

What appeared from a kin’s messenger to a deactivated Facebook

account with name Eliza B. Yu is “Facebook user” not “Eliza B. Yu”,
the effect of deactivation previously mentioned in my
correspondences to your respective office. Please see previously
submitted Exhibit “3” to the Honorable Office of the Chief Justice and
the Honorable Office of the Court Administrator.

Facebook accounts with similar names and identities are deactivated

or suspended automatically. Please see previously submitted Exhibits
“4” and “5” to the Honorable Office of the Chief Justice and the
Honorable Office of the Court Administrator.

Because typewritten Facebook emails with name Bambi Yu were

attached to Judge Emily L. San Gaspar - Gito’s complaint against me,
the absence of my requested actual computer-print-outs with
Facebook name Bambi Yu from start of probe until now denied me of
my constitutional right to due process that calls for the dismissal of the
administrative case without prejudice to its re-filing upon presentation
of competent and credible evidence to be attached with the new
complaint thereafter she follows the legal, right and just observance of
administrative processes. Due process entails the adoption of proper
procedure.

3
5. That the cardinal precept is that where there is a violation of basic
constitutional rights, courts are ousted from their jurisdiction. The
violation of a party's right to due process raises a serious
jurisdictional issue which cannot be glossed over or disregarded at
will. Where the denial of the fundamental right to due process
is apparent, a decision rendered in disregard of that right is
void for lack of jurisdiction. This rule is equally true in quasi-
judicial and administrative proceedings, for the constitutional
guarantee that no man shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property
without due process is unqualified by the type of proceedings
(whether judicial or administrative) where he stands to lose the
same (Montoya v. Varilla, G.R. No. 180146, December 18, 2008,
574 SCRA 831, 843). Although administrative procedural rules are
less stringent and often applied more liberally, administrative
proceedings are not exempt from basic and fundamental
procedural principles, such as the right to due process in
investigations and hearings (Civil Service Commission v. Lucas,
361 Phil 486, 491 [1999]);

6. That precisely, any ruling issued without jurisdiction is, in legal

contemplation, necessarily null and void and does not exist
(People v. Velasco, 394 Phil. 517, 559 [2000]). Otherwise put, the
dismissal of the case below was invalid for lack of a fundamental
prerequisite, that is, due process. In rendering the judgment of
dismissal, the trial court acted without or in excess of jurisdiction,
for a judgment which is void for lack of due process is equivalent to
excess or lack of jurisdiction (People v. Dumlao, G.R. No.
168918, March 2, 2009 citing Merciales v. Court of Appeals,
429 Phil. 70, 81 [2002]);

7. That cases are dismissed when there is a denial of one’s

constitutional right to due process.

MOTION TO SUPPLEMENT DISMISSAL OF OCA IPI NO. 12-2456-

MTJ AND A.M. MTJ 13-1821

I, the undersigned respondent Judge, and unto this Honorable Court

most respectfully aver:

1. That I filed my final and last appeal dated July 12, 2017 and
supplemental appeal dated July 26, 2017 pending resolution
before the Honorable Supreme Court En Banc;

2. That to supplement the Omnibus Motions for Deconsolidation

and Severance of Administrative Cases and Motions to Dismiss
dated November 23, 2017 on OCA IPI NO. 12-2456-MTJ and
A.M. MTJ 13-1821, I move to dismiss these following
administrative charges on the ground of denial of due process
for failure to inform the nature and cause of accusation against
me as stated in Andaya v. People, G.R. No. 168486, June 27,
2006, a criminal case law that applies to administrative cases
by analogy to quote:

We find ourselves unable to agree with this ratiocination of the trial

court because it violates the constitutional right[ of petitioner to be
informed of the nature and cause of the accusation against him. As
early as the 1904 case of U.S. v. Karelsen, the rationale of this
fundamental right of the accused was already explained in this wise:

1
The object of this written accusation was First. To furnish the accused
with such a description of the charge against him as will enable him
to make his defense; and second, to avail himself of his conviction or
acquittal for protection against a further prosecution for the same
cause; and third, to inform the court of the facts alleged, so that it
may decide whether they are sufficient in law to support a conviction,
if one should be had. (United States vs. Cruikshank, 92 U.S. 542.) In
order that this requirement may be satisfied, facts must be stated, not
conclusions of law. Every crime is made up of certain acts and intent;
these must be set forth in the complaint with reasonable particularity
of time, place, names (plaintiff and defendant), and circumstances. In
short, the complaint must contain a specific allegation of every fact
and circumstances necessary to constitute the crime charged
It is fundamental that every element constituting the offense must be
alleged in the information. The main purpose of requiring the various
elements of a crime to be set out in the information is to enable the
accused to suitably prepare his defense because he is presumed to
have no independent knowledge of the facts that constitute the
offense. The allegations of facts constituting the offense charged are
substantial matters and an accuseds right to question his conviction
based on facts not alleged in the information cannot be waived. No
matter how conclusive and convincing the evidence of guilt may be,
an accused cannot be convicted of any offense unless it is charged in
the information on which he is tried or is necessarily included therein.
To convict him of a ground not alleged while he is concentrating his
defense against the ground alleged would plainly be unfair and
underhanded. The rule is that a variance between the allegation in
the information and proof adduced during trial shall be fatal to the
criminal case if it is material and prejudicial to the accused so much
so that it affects his substantial rights.

1. OCA IPI NO. 12-2456-MTJ

I was found liable for “gross misconduct amounting to violation

of the Code of Judicial Conduct for not disqualifying herself" in
acting on the supposedly contumacious conduct of her fellow
Judges and concerned court personnel in copying the records
of her court.”

Aside from this is fabricated allegation, this is not part of the

complaint against me by the complainants Judge Bibiano Colasito et
2
al. I was deprived of my right to answer such accusation before the
promulgation of Decision on November 22, 2016.
This particular administrative charge was not made by complainants
Judge Bibiano Colasito et al. I was denied of my due process of
being informed of the nature and cause of their accusation that is
not part of their complaint.

2. A.M. MTJ 13-1821

I was found liable for “using the official letterhead of her judicial
office in summoning a lawyer to a conference.”

Aside from this is fabricated allegation, this is not part of the

complaint against me by the complainant Judge Emily San
Gaspar -Gito. I was deprived of my right to answer such accusation
before the promulgation of Decision on November 22, 2016.
This particular administrative charge was not made by complainant,I
was denied of my due process of being informed of the nature and
cause of her accusation that is not part of her complaint.

PRAYER

WHEREFORE, premises considered, I respectfully prayed unto the

Honorable Supreme Court En Banc to DISMISS the foregoing
charges under OCA IPI NO. 12-2456-MTJ AND A.M. MTJ 13-1821
for the denial of my constitutional right to due process for failure to be
informed of the nature and cause of accusation against me.

RE: Dismissal of A.M. NO. MTJ-13-1821

RE: Prohibition to Maintain Two Profiles by a Facebook User and Other Related Matters on
A.M. NO. MTJ-13-1821

Your Honors:

I found out that “Facebook is a community where people use their authentic identities. It's
against the Facebook Community Standards to maintain more than one personal account.” My
references are:

1. http://www.prettysimple.co.uk/blog/index.php/2012/07/a-facebook-dilemma-one-
account-or-two/
2. https://www.facebook.com/help/203498356357867?helpref=faq_content
3. https://blog.hubspot.com/blog/tabid/6307/bid/9134/top-5-things-not-to-do-on-
facebook.aspx

I noticed that there are several names Eliza Yu and Bambi Yu that appeared at the search engine
of Facebook, some of them are deactivated as of today. Please see attached copies marked as
Annex “1” and Annex “2” respectively.

If a Facebook user’s account has been deactivated, suspended, or deleted, the user's name
registered is replaced by "Facebook User", this is what appears in the inbox messages of the
recipient.

My cousins found out that there are two Facebook Accounts named Eliza B. Yu - one is
active and the other is inactive. Please see attached copy marked as Annex “3” as proof.

If none of these two Facebook Accounts named Eliza B. Yu appeared in the Facebook of Judge
Emily San Gaspar - Gito’s friends, with more reason that she must produce and give to me the
actual computer-print-outs with the name Bambi Yu so I can identify and testify each email, then
enter my objection if any.

1
Also, they found out that my Facebook named Eliza B. Yu which is active was hacked and/ or
tampered because it was stated that I was in two different cities – Manila and Pasay at the same
time on December 31, 2010 at 12:00 p.m. Please see attached copy marked as Annex “4” as
proof.

I am submitting two proofs marked as Annex “5” and Annex “6”, among several others, to
prove my email account luvs2smile2@msn.com was hacked and/or tampered, it sent emails to
others without my consent or prior knowledge as I claimed several times in my letters and
pleadings to the Office of the Court Administrator. The dates of hacking and/ or tampering as
proven by emails on deleted and sent sections are immaterial because once an email account was
hacked, it will be hacked repeatedly, that is, with or without my knowledge later on.

Because of the foregoing, it must be an absolute necessity that I testify and identify then enter
my objection if any to the actual computer print-outs of Facebook messages with the Facebook
user name Bambi Yu that I allegedly sent to complainant Judge Emily San Gaspar – Gito
because what were attached to the complaint against me were all typewritten emails with
Facebook name Bambi Yu otherwise the falsified, perjurious and libelous charge against me
must be dismissed for being a pure hearsay.

I requested several times, orally and in writing, from the Supreme Court and the Office of the
Court Administrator prior to the promulgation of the questioned Decision of all the subject
emails but I was not given any, and I was wrongfully and unjustly penalized with an offense of
Conduct Unbecoming of a Judge that was unproven by her, then her remaining administrative
charge must be dismissed for failure to provide actual computer-print outs of the subject emails,
she committed multiple counts of perjury, Falsification and Libel, I can prove these criminal
charges and I can pass her cross-examination before a trial court.

Thank you.

Judge Eliza B. Yu
