(a) That he holds sessions only once or twice a week;Judge Bautista in his answer to said complaint admits having instructed the docket clerk to impose a fine of P10 on alleged violators of traffic regulations who are willing to pay the fine, whether guilty or not. The report of Executive Judge Guillermo Cabrera of the Municipal Court of Manila states that the charges against Judge Bautista are true and can be substantiated. The preliminary investigation conducted by the Secretary of Justice shows that Judge Bautista often absents himself from office without filing any application for leave of absence, and that even during his absence the docket clerk signs his name to sentences imposing fines on alleged violators of traffic regulations.
(b) That he sets for hearing many cases, criminal or civil, but only a few are tried, and on the following day many are decided without presentation of evidence;
(c) That he sentences many accused without giving them opportunity to answer the complaint or information;
(d) That he authorizes his clerk to impose fines for violation of traffic regulations; and
(e) That the clerk signs warrants of arrest or search warrants without taking declaration under oath of the police officers who apply for said writs.
