The new CJ

The appointment of Maria Lourdes Sereno as Chief Justice was initially welcomed by most of the press. Partly, no doubt as it seemed a breath of fresh air was being injected into a not wholly respected Supreme Court, and partly, as a radical departure from the "Buggins turn" process by which senior members of the court are often elevated to the top position.

Noting her age of only 52, some expressed concern that if she did not fulfill her promise, the people could be stuck with her for 18 years. Another impeachment process, as the only way of evicting her, perhaps by a new president, would only bring the Supreme Court into further disrespect.

Ubay-ubay na gayud ang report nga nakadangat dinhi sa Bantay Banat bahin sa uban nga barangay officials nga naggamit sa ilang katungdanan. Maayo unta kon gigamit ang katungdanan sa maayo nga pagserbisyo sa barangay.
