Arciga vs. Maniwang
Magdalena T. Arciga vs. Segundino D. Maniwang

AC No. 1608, 106 SCRA 651, August 14, 1981

Facts:

· Magdalena and Segundino got acquainted sometime in October 1970 in Cebu City.
Magdalena was a medical technology student while Segundino was a law student.
· On March 1971, Magdalena and Segundino had sexual congress. Thereafter, they had
repeated acts of cohabitation. Segundino started telling his acquaintances that he
and Magdalena were secretly married.
· In 1972 Segundino transferred his residence to Padada, Davao del Sur. He continued his
studies to Dava City.
· Magdalena discovered in January 1973 that she was pregnant. The two went to her
hometown, Ivisan, Capiz to apprise Magdalena’s parents that they were married although
they were not. The respondent convinced Magdalena’s father to have the church wedding
deferred until after he had passed the bar examinations where he secured his birth
certificate preparatory to applying for a marriage license.
· Segundino reassured Magdalena that he would marry once he passed the bar
examinations. The latter gave birth to their child on September 4, 1973.
· Segundino passed the bar examinations that was released April 25, 1975. After the
oathtaking, Segundino stopped corresponding with Magdalena. Magdalena went to Davao
to contat Segundino. Segundino told her that they could not get married for lack of money.
· In December 1975 Magdalena followed Segundino in Bukidnon only to find out that their
marriage could not take place because he had married Erlinda Ang.
· Segundino followed Magdalena in Davao and inflicted physical injuries upon her because
she had a confrontation with his wife, Erlinda Ang.
· Magdalena Arciga then filed a disbarment case on the ground of grossly immoral conduct
because he refused to fulfill his promise of marriage to her.

Issue:

· Whether or not Segundino Maniwang should be disbarred on the ground of

grossly immoral conduct.

Ruling:

· No, Segundino Maniwang shouldn’t be disbarred. The Supreme Court found

that respondent’s refusal to marry the complainant was not so corrupt nor
unprincipled as to warrant disbarment. The complaint for disbarment against
the respondent is hereby dismissed.
