00:00Now for the last thing on our agenda is whether or not and how to sanction attorney Lilette
00:13Matias for failing to submit the counter affidavit for our esteemed client, the Philippine Mega
00:20Model Agency.
00:22We have to decide on this because it's very important.
00:25Remember, in our first general meeting, I assigned three associates for certain tasks
00:33and only attorney Lilette Matias failed.
00:40So do we sanction her?
00:43And if so, what should we give her as a consequence for having failed to submit something very
00:50important for our client?
00:53We have to, of course, take care of the reputation of our client.
00:57Attorney Mur, according to this report, attorney Matias and attorney Ignacio filed a motion
01:03for extension.
01:04And the latest update, the city prosecutor approved a 10-day extension in the interest
01:16of justice.
01:17You are right, attorney Constantino, the situation has been rectified, but we still
01:28cannot deny the fact that something was not submitted.
01:33And this is a case where attorney Matias has to face the consequences.
01:39I agree with attorney Mayor.
01:40I also talked to the Philippine Mega Models Agency, and they want an answer in case there
01:47is a negative impact on the image of Jonah Castillo.
01:51If you're even threatening to drop us as their official legal representative, the keystone
01:57will be lost if that happens.
01:59Because like I said, PMMA is one of our biggest clients, so I recommend that we impose a sanction
02:08commensurate to the mistake.
02:11And we are doing this so that it won't happen again, and it won't be imitated by others.
02:16All I'm saying is, let's take into consideration the character and history of attorney Lillet
02:22Matias.
02:23She's always been a reliable lawyer.
02:26In fact-
02:27Look, attorney Constantino, I know attorney Matias has been with you because she used
02:32to be your scholar and fairly one of your star lawyers.
02:36But you cannot be protective of her.
02:39We make decisions as Keystone.
02:41We belong to one firm now.
02:43No more Lab, no more D&R, just Keystone.
02:49And here at Keystone, we have to be fair and objective.
02:54Regardless of whether the lawyer is tenured or not, star or not, those requirements are
03:01not the primary considerations.
03:03That's how it is.
03:04Whoever makes a mistake will face the consequences.
03:08It's just a coincidence that this time, it is attorney Matias.
03:12So what kind of example are we trying to set here?
03:15Because of a small mistake, we're going to remove our star lawyer?
03:21Well, any mistake is going to affect the image of Keystone, trivial or not.
03:27And any wrong information about how we manage situations internally may reach clients whose
03:34reactions we have absolutely zero control over.
03:37So yes, for the sake of Keystone's integrity, I recommend-
03:40No, no.
03:41You're recommending that we remove attorney Matias from this firm?
