Sagot ng kasaysayan at ni Gat Jose Rizal

By Maria Lourdes Sereno

May mga nagtatanong, paano daw kung simbolo ng corrupt governance (pagnanakaw ang inuuna, balatkayo na serbisyo) ang maluklok, ano na ang mangyayari sa nasimulan ng taumbayan?

Sagot ng kasaysayan at ni Gat Jose Rizal: Tuluy-tuloy lang po tayo. Ang pakikipaglaban sa tamang pamamahala ay trabahong habambuhay. Kaya nga’t sinabi ni Rizal na equipping o paghanda ng kabataan ang kailangang prayoridad. Sa akin po, hindi lang ng mga kabataan, kundi na rin ng mga elders na aalalay dito. At malinaw sa world history at sa Bibliya, kailangan sa consciousness ng lahat ang pagkakaunawa na ang Diyos ang panggagalingan ng gabay at tagumpay. Kaya’t ang nasimulan na ng taumbayan ay exciting at kinalaunan ay magbubunga ng mayabong na bukas.

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.
