Furthermore, assuming that the conclusion of petitioner is justified by the facts, it is still not a valid defense in cases of contempt. “Where the matter is abusive or insulting, evidence that the language used was justified by the facts is not admissible as a defense. Respect for the judicial office should always be observed and enforced.” (Ferdinand A. Cruz Vs. Judge Henrick F. Gingoyon (deceased), Presiding Judge, Regional Trial Court, Branch 117, Pasay City, G.R. No. 170404. September 28, 2011).
