ANG PAGTATAGUYOD NG PILIPINAS AY UKOL SA PAGTUTOK NATIN SA SOCIAL GOAL NG ISANG MAKATARUNGAN AT MAKATAONG LIPUNAN

MGA KAIBIGAN, ANG PAGTATAGUYOD NG PILIPINAS AY UKOL SA PAGTUTOK NATIN SA SOCIAL GOAL NG ISANG MAKATARUNGAN AT MAKATAONG LIPUNAN

Hindi ito ukol sa away ng dalawang pamilya. Iyan ang ipinapalabas ng mga propagandists, na ang lahat ay personal na gantihan lang. Iangat po natin ang bayan mula sa ganitong naratibo.

Nang dumagsa ang milyun-milyong mga Pilipino sa EDSA, hindi nila ginawa iyon para sa pamilya Aquino bagamat binigyan sila ng bukod-tanging papel sa kasaysayan ng bansa. At bagamat marami sa mga lumahok sa EDSA ay sumigaw na wakasan na ang pamumuno ni Marcos, marami din doon ang walang naisip na paghihiganti sa mga Marcos. At bukod kay Enrile at grupo ni Honasan, hindi pangarap ng mga taong nag-alay ng sarili sa EDSA ang magkamit ng kapangyarihan sa gobyerno. Ang gusto lang ng lahat ay katarungan. -Maria Lourdes Sereno

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.
