Congratulations, Leyla Fernandez!

Dear Lord, salamat at pinadalhan Mo kami ng mabuting balita ukol sa tagumpay ng kalahi namin, ang Filipina-Ecuadorian-Canadian na si Leylah Fernandez sa pagpasok niya sa finals ng US Open (world tennis championship). Kamangha-mangha ang kaniyang nakamit–mula sa pagiging #66, sa edad na 19, maaari siyang maging isang world champion sa tennis. Hudyat ito ng pag-asang pinaaabot Mo sa lahing Pilipino, na ang mga bunga ng aming lahi ay maaaring maging tanyag at pinakamahusay sa iba’t ibang larangan. Ito ay hindi upang kami ay magmalaki sa anumang kakayahan, ngunit upang huwag panghinaan ng loob at upang maniwala, na, yes, the Filipino can!

At yes, kaya ng mga Kristiyanong Pilipinong maging kampyon ng tunay na pagbabago dahil nagbalik-loob na sila sa Iyo! Gawin Mo ito, Ama, sa aming lahi, pagkat ito’y ikatatanyag ng Iyong pangalan, na nagbago na ang Pilipinas patungo sa kabutihan. Ito ay kalugud-lugod sa Iyo, Ama, at ayon sa Iyong kagustuhan para sa aming bayan.

Salamat sa ginawa Mo at gagawin pa para kay Leylah. Kung mamarapatin, papanaluhin Mo siya sa Sabado sa US Open Final. At kung mamarapatin Mo, bilisan Mo na Panginoon, ang pagsisisi at pagbabalik-loob sa Iyo ng aming bayan! Gawin Mo rin kaming champions sa pagbabalik-loob at tunay na pagbabago, please, Lord. Thank You po, dear God. Sa ngalan ni Hesus, Amen.

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.
