In a unanimous ruling, the Supreme Court (SC) ordered the disbarment of lawyer Lorenzo “Larry” Gadon for “misogynistic, sexist, abusive and repeated intemperate language.” | ManilaBulletin READ:
In a statement, Gadon said: “I will treat this matter as a personal concern as it will not also affect my commitment to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to help his administration achieve its goals and implement its programs to serve the public, particularly on the aspect of poverty alleviation.”
A copy of the SC decision or resolution promulgated on June 27 was not given by the PIO. It has not been uploaded in the SC website as of posting. “Gadon unfortunately failed to realize that lawyers are expected to avoid scandalous behavior, whether in their public or private life,” the PIO said apparently quoting from the ruling.
The PIO said the SC concluded: “Although these cases have yet to be decided, the volume of administrative complaints filed against Atty. Gadon indubitably speaks of his character.”
