Give Our New Chief Justice a Chance

Ma. Lourdes Sereno

Malacanang said Chief Justice Ma. Lourdes Sereno must be given a chance to perform her duties as her appointment has received positive feedback from various sectors anyway.

I listened from TV the taped short talk of CJ Sereno during the flag raising ceremony. I can sense that she was begging sympathy from her subordinates. This means she is uncomfortable and seemingly insecured. She must earn first their sympathies and not to expect immediate response. Her leadership can sway their hostilities.

Looking at what is happening in the Judiciary in the last few days, I do not forsee any possitive that will happen in the very near future. Sereno's first day in office as CJ seems to be a clear indication that she does'nt have a tight grip over the seven magistrates who have not attended her first flag raising ceremony and her speech during that event.

CJ Corona bares $2.4 million dollar account

Chief Justice Corona claimed that he has at least $2.4 million in his four dollar accounts and claimed that he earned his deposits since his family invested in foreign exchange.

We may have our own opinion but the decision is in the hands of the senators, a judgment which may be political or probably so. I can only hope the senate will judge in favor of the Republic of the Philippines. Us Filipino people who have entrusted the country and our future to these elected officials. I hope their judgment will turn this country around and uphold the common good of the Filipino people through moral descendancy and push our nation forward.

We have to change the system of our country. Our problem is not Corona, almost entirely of them are guilty of this crime, from barangay to national level, almost everybody wants to cut their taxes and all that, and if we are going to impeach each and everyone, and get rid of the garbages, it will take 1,000 years before the country will be free from this dirt.

I truly believe these politicians are keeping a great deal of skeletons in their closets. They are, in the strongest term, leech! I'm a private individual living modestly to what my honest earning is. Consequently, I detest corruption!

If the CJ had done these accusations, he should be persecuted!
