JBC ordered to submit list of high court nominees SC: Gloria can appoint next CJ By Benjamin B. Pulta 03/18/2010 It’s official. The incumbent President is legally and constitutionally empowered to appoint the next Chief Justice (CJ) of the Supreme Court (SC). A ruling by the high court, handed down yesterday, said President Arroyo can name the next top magistrate after Chief Justice Reynato Puno steps down on May 17. Voting 9-1-2-3, the SC, in a decision penned by Justice Lucas Bersamin, said the appointment of the entire judiciary, including the position of Chief Justice, is not included in the appointments ban as mandated by the 1987 Constitution.
