    Respondent, a lawyer, was caught accepting marked money from the complainant during an entrapment operation set up by the NBI to investigate claims of extortion. While the respondent denied the extortion charge, the court ruled against him, saying that simply denying the charges was not enough, and that as a lawyer he had violated his oath by committing misconduct and delaying justice for money, which warrants disciplinary action.

    WELLINGTON REYES, complainant, vs.ATTY. SALVADOR M. GAA, respondent.

    FACTS: Complainant reported to the NBI that he had been the victim of extortion by respondent. An entrapment was set up by the NBI. Respondent was caught in flagrante delicto in the act of receiving the marked money from complainant, which resulted in his arrest and the subsequent filing of administrative and criminal cases against him. In his defense, respondent merely denied the charge of extortion and retorted that the marked money was planted by complainant. ISSUE: Whether or not respondent violated his oath as an attorney. RULING: Yes. When the integrity of a member of the bar is challenged, it is not enough that he denies the charges against him, he must meet the issue and overcome the evidence against him. He must show proof that he still maintains that degree of morality and integrity which at all times is expected of him. The extortion committed by respondent constitutes misconduct as a public official, which also constitutes a violation of his oath as a lawyer. The lawyer's oath, imposes upon every lawyer the duty to delay no man for money or malice. The lawyer's oath is a source of his obligations and its violation is a ground for his suspension, disbarment or other disciplinary action
