Nagdadalamhati at Nabibiyak ang Ating mga Puso Ngayon | TugmaLahat

MAY PASKO PA

By Maria Lourdes Sereno

December 23, 2020

Nagdadalamhati at nabibiyak ang ating mga puso ngayon. Tumangis at magtanong tayo kung saan na nga patungo ang bansa natin kung kayang pumatay ang kapulisan nang walang awa, walang saysay, at sa harap ng madla. Saan na patungo ang mga kabataan kung sila ang nag-uudyok ng kamalian sa kanilang mga magulang?

Hindi ito panahon para bumitaw. Panahon ito ng radikal na solusyon na tanging Diyos lang ang kayang gumawa–ang pagpalit ng mga pusong bato ng pusong tumitibok ng pag-ibig para sa Kaniya at sa kapwa. Ito lamang ang solusyon, ang mamagitan ang Diyos at tanggalin ang kasamaan sa ating mga sarili at sa ating lipunan. Ito ay araw ng pagpapakumbaba sa Diyos at pagbabalik-loob sa kabutihan. Mula sa pinakamababang sektor ng lipunan hanggang sa pinakamataas, ating simulan ang paghingi ng tawad sa Diyos at sa kapwa. Mag-usap muli kung paano natin aayusin ang nagkagula-gulanit nating bayan. May pag-asa pa, may Pasko pa! Andiyan pa ang ating Tagapagligtas na si Hesus!

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.
