    - Respondent Atty. Ernesto Salunat represented the Philippine Public School Teachers Association (PPSTA) Board of Directors in cases filed against them by PPSTA members, including the complainants. This created a conflict of interest as respondent was also the retained counsel of PPSTA, which the complainants were members of. - Despite being told of the conflict of interest, respondent refused to withdraw his appearance in the cases. He was found guilty of violating Rule 1.06 of the Code of Professional Responsibility which prohibits representing conflicting interests. - Respondent was admonished to observe a higher degree of fidelity in his profession and warned that a repetition would be dealt with more severely.
