Judge who died during commute wanted to set example of modest life
Municipal Circuit Trial Court (MCTC) Presiding Judge Carmela Rosario Pasquin, 41, tragically died in a motorcycle accident on October 22, 2025, while commuting to her court.
Despite owning a car, Judge Pasquin deliberately chose to commute using public transportation or by riding with colleagues.
Her choice to forgo the use of her personal vehicle stemmed from her belief that public servants should lead modest lives and avoid imposing on taxpayers.
Judge Pasquin's commitment to humility and service was recognized by the UP College of Law, which highlighted her adherence to her principles even in her daily commute.
