The
appointment of Associate Justice Ma. Lourdes Sereno as the new Supreme Court
Chief Justice defies both LOGIC and COMMON SENSE.
First:
Sereno was one of two aspirants who got the lowest grades in the PSYCHOLOGICAL
evaluation given by the Judicial and Bar Council t(JBC) to all the chief
justice nominees.
On
a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 as the lowest, Sereno got a grade of 4. That alone should have been an alarm for her
MENTAL STABILITY for ONE OF THE HIGHEST government positions in the country.
A
story in The Manila Times.net said copies of the evaluation, which was marked “Strictly
Confidential,” were distributed to JBC members during their July 19 preliminary
meeting.
The
evaluation said Sereno was “dramatic and emotional, projects a happy mood but
has depressive markers (and) a strong tendency to make decisions based on CURRENT
MOOD. Thus, outcome is HIGHLY SUBJECTIVE and SELF-RIGHTEOUS (emphasis mine).”
Ibig
sabihin, kapag natiyempong mainint ang ulo niya, posibleng magdesisyon si
Sereno base sa kung ano ang pumasok sa isip niya, at hindi BASE LAMANG SA
BATAS, NA SIYANG DAPAT MANGYARI.
Seconjd:
Sereno had been a Supreme Court associate justice for ONLY TWO YEARS until she
was appointed as Chief Justice by Pnoy. She was appointed only on Aug. 16,
2010.
That
means EXPERIENCE-WISE, she was WAY, WAY BEHIND the other senior associate
justices like Antonio Carpio when it comes to being a member of the High
Tribunal and in handling cases brought before it for action.
I’M
NOT SAYING that Sereno’s professionally incompetent to be Chief Justice.
My
point is, considering the nature and complexities of the position of Chief
Justice, it would have been WISER and MORE LOGICAL to appoint somebody with
both the legal brilliance and widest-ranging experience.
Kumbaga sa kumpanya, ang itinalagang bagong chief executive officer ni Pnoy ay isang baguhan sa halip na isang matagal na doon at kasinggaling, kundi man mas magaling pa, sa taong kaniyang pinili.
For
sure, both Sereno and Pnoy were AWARE of these factors And yet, he chose her for Chief Justice.
So
other than her vow of independence when she was sworn into office by Pnoy,
what’s our assurance that she won’t be a puppet of the President for his
desires or needs from the Supreme Court?
Like
the reversal of the decision awarding Hacienda Luisita to its farm workers? The
floor is yours, ladies and gentlemen.

Great post, Mr. Boyet Antonio. For me, kahit
saan tingnan, guilty si Abrazado. Conspiracy theory.

And
because of the incident, chief inspector na siya.

Ang sabi, si kapitan (Bahinting) nasa kanang upuan ng cockpit nang
makita yung plane na submerged under water, triggering speculations that he was
not the one manning the aircraft. Ngunit bago magtake off, Bahinting was seen
seated on the left. what happened after take off?
The
whole incident is apparently as fishy as the deep waters of Masbate .
I
smell something fishy here. Abrazado nakakuha daw siya ng kapirasong kahoy at
yun ang ginamit nya para makaalis sa plane. Bakit nagkaroon ng piece of wood sa
small plane? Ang sabi ng fisherman na nakakuha kay Abrazado, putok daw ang labi
nito. At bakit from the start, nandoon na agad si Roxas at si Panot?
Whether
or not the body is decomposing; whether it has maggots and worms; or is in
whatever state, if the family requests for it, it should be granted. It's the
family. It’s their decision. Not mine, not yours, not ours.
How
would Mrs. Robredo know that it is indeed her husband in that casket if she
couldn't see his body? Even if the brother identified Sec. Robredo upon
retrieval, the wife has MORE LEGAL RIGHTS than a BROTHER, or a CO-WORKER.
Cory Aquino allowed Ninoy's bloodied corpse to be viewed by the public. Why
couldn't they do the same to the secretary?
Common
sense and logic will tell anyone that it is the "right" of the
Robredo Family to see the remains of the late secretary. Robredo's wife is a lawyer and I think she's
intelligent enough to know the consequences of such a request. Who is Mar Roxas
to decide for the Robredo Family??
Democracy
and rights here in the Phllippines? That would be an epic. 30
