PANUNUMPA NG SINUMANG MANINILBIHANG PANGULO | TugmaLahat

Ito ang Panunumpa ng Sinumang Maninilbihang Pangulo

By Maria Lourdes Sereno

Kung sana ang bawat Pangulo ay tumupad sa kanilang sinumpaang pangako sa bayan, at ang taumbayan naman ay siniguradong tumutupad nga sila, mapapahusay ang kalagayan ng ating bayan. Kasama dito sa sumpa ng Article 7, section 5, ang mamuhay ayon sa batayan ng Article 11, section 1—tapat, responsable, may integridad, loyal sa Pilipino at patriotic, efficient, makatarungan at modest ang pamumuhay.

Mag-imagine po tayo: buhay sa Pilipinas na walang scandal ng malawakang nakawan. Pangulong hindi marami ang asawa na ang mga anak nila ay nag-aaway kung sino ang magmamana ng political mantle ng ama. Walang usaping tongpats, at walang nananakot sa COA kundi tinutulungan pa ito sa kaniyang trabaho. Pangulo na kapag binigyan ng budget upang sagipin ang taumbayan mula sa pandemya ay buong-lakas na tututok sa mga ahensya upang matupad ang layunin ng budget na ito. Pangulong hindi sanga-sanga ang dila kundi nagpapakita ng mabuting asal at ehemplo sa mga kabataan. Pangulong maaaring hangaan at sundan ang yapak sa pagka-makabayani at gumagalang sa dignidad ng kapwa.

Hindi nga hari ang Pangulo—at bawal ang hari sa Konstitusyon—ngunit hindi maiiwasang siya ay gagawing ehemplo ng marami. Kaya ang mabuting Pangulo ay tumutupad ng sinumpaan niya, hindi taga-sira ng ating sumpaang-bayan na Konstitusyon.

AT ANG TAUMBAYAN AY MAY KATUNGKULAN SA SALINLAHI NA IBOTO CONSISTENTLY ANG MAAASAHAN NA TUTUPAD SA SINUMPAAN SA BAYAN AT DIYOS.

Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno is living proof that true courage is forged through adversity.

Sereno rose from humble beginnings to become the country’s first female Chief Justice in 2012. She attended public elementary and secondary school, then pursued higher education through scholarships. She graduated valedictorian from the UP College of Law in 1984, and holds a Masters of Law degree, specializing in law and economics and international trade law, from the University of Michigan.

She was a law professor at the UP for nearly 20 years. The World Trade Organization recognized her stellar credentials with her 1998 appointment as Counsellor of their Appellate Body in Geneva, Switzerland. She was also involved in successful international litigation as co-counsel for the Republic and was AIM’s Executive Director for their Policy Center.

With her modernizing outlook and firm belief in the power of technology, she co-founded a corporation that developed the first annotated electronic research system in Philippine Law. Her tenure as Chief Justice is marked by far-reaching reforms, including eCourts, automated hearings, case decongestion, continuous trials, and expanded small claims courts. At the heart of her reform program is the strong conviction that justice and the law’s protection should be accessible and responsive to the most vulnerable Filipinos. Because she was a staunch defender of judicial independence, Sereno was subjected to intense persecution.

Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno is now a major voice for people-centered change in Philippine society. She believes this change is part of God’s desire for this country, that every Filipino is precious in God’s sight, bawat isa mahalaga, and that each citizen and every community has a role in building up this nation. She is an advocate for faithfulness to the vision of a “just and humane society” in the Philippine Constitution, and integrity and accountability in governance.
