Ang Kampo ng “NANALO”, Walang Humpay ang Pamba-bash sa Kampo ng “NATALO”

By Maria Lourdes Sereno

Ang kampo ng “nanalo”, walang humpay ang pamba-bash sa kampo ng “natalo.” Palinaw nang palinaw ang pakay. Nasaan ang pagsisilbi? Nasaan ang “unity” na never nilang na-define? Unity in bashing their opponents into silence? So, nope, as of now, until the contrary evidence is there, it is not wrong to cross out “unity” as one of their social objectives. As a believer in Christ, the Bible instructs me to always keep my eyes wide open. Christian hope is not delusional positivity. It is seeing the reality of evil for what it is. Praying for all in authority means you pray against wickedness, not tricking yourself into calling evil as “good.” Let there be unity, but one founded on truth and justice. My hope is in the God of Truth, Justice, Love and Righteousness.

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.
