Linsangan, Attorney Bryan A. San Juan, and partner Attorney Christine C. Clemente.

The complaint alleges violations of the Code of Professional Responsibility and Accountability, and follows a criminal complaint filed with the Philippines Department of Justice against Attorney Sarmiento on August 3, 2026, regarding an alleged contravention under Section 2-A of the Anti-Dummy Law. The dispute pertains to the governance of Makilala Mining Company, Inc. and the development of the MCB Copper-Gold Project, which operates under a Mineral Production Sharing Agreement with the Philippine Government.
