MERON PO AKONG NAPAPANSIN, AT ALARMING PO ITO

By Maria Lourdes Sereno

February 26, 2022

May mga nagko-comment po sa iba’t ibang pages in Tagalog, na kamping-kampi sa Russia at against Ukraine. Mga Pilipinong hindi naman nag-aral o nanirahan sa Russia o Ukraine na kung magsalita ay akala mo biglang experts on European history and politics. One even said: “Ay, mahina ang mga taga-Ukraine; habol lang nila ang comfortable life, susuko kaagad iyan.” Pati sa psywar, nakikisawsaw!

Very alarming po ito. Ibig sabihin, pati Pinoy trolls ay ginagamit na on behalf of Russia. At nung na-call out siya ng isang Filipino expert, ang sagot ba naman ay, marami daw silang sources of news at history. Hindi naman pinapangalanan kung anong sources ang mga yun. Tunog fake news peddlers ng Tallano Gold and Marcos’ Golden Age.

We really need to pray, repent and start our conversation as a people. Wala pa tayong physical invasion ng foreign army pero nag-surrender na ang utak ng ibang Pinoy.

Lord, please help us.

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.
