May nagtanong na sa akin:

“Ikaw ay dating Chief Justice, at nagsasabing Kristyano, hindi mo ba pinaghahati-hati ang kapatiran sa kakatutok mo sa mga Marcos?”

Ito po ang sagot ko: Katungkulan ng bawat abogado na palakasin ang katotohanan at katarungan. Ang tatlo sa mga Marcos cases ay ako mismo ang nag-aral at sumulat ng desisyon. Kailangan kong patotohanan ang mga nakita ko.

Katungkulan rin ng bawat Kristiyano na isulong ang kaharian ng katotohanan, katarungan at katuwiran. Nasusuklam ang Diyos sa pandarambong (Isaiah 1:17, Psalm 89:14, Isaiah 61:8).

Dahil ang mga Marcos ang nagsulong ng idolatry sa pamilya nila, at nagnakaw ng hindi bababa sa nabawi nang PhP 174 billion, priority ng lahat ng Kristiyano ang pigilan ang pagbabalik ng values ng mga Marcos na taliwas sa values ng ating Konstitusyon at ng Biblia. Kailangang pigilan ang magiging paglala ng PAGNANAKAW, PAGSISINUNGALING AT PAGBABALE-WALA NG PAGPATAY NG TAO, kung makakabalik ang mga Marcos sa kapangyarihan.

Ang pagpapaalala ko sa taumbayan, sa mga pang-aabuso ng mga Marcos, ay upang magkaroon ng fighting chance ang ating mga kabataan para sa isang mabuting kinabukasan.

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.
