The youngest member of the Supreme Court(SC), Associate Justice Ma. Lourdes Sereno, has proved to be a dependable advocate (partisan would be too strong a word) of the Aquino administration. This is not to suggest that she is and will continue to be beholden to P-Noy being his first appointee to the high tribunal.
Or that she is the Palace’s embedded member and designated hitter in the high tribunal. It is just that she has become, in the eyes of many observers, the main gatekeeper of the Aquino “agenda” however that may be translated now and presumably when she retires in 2030.
So congruent has Sereno’s ideas been with Malacanañg’s that she could very well pass off for Justice Secretary Leila de Lima and vice-versa in discussing various issues brought before the Court specially those involving the past administration and now Chief Justice Renato Corona..... MORE

hayzzz, sana ang "verification" process na ito ay naprisinta noong paghahatol ng hukom ni hilarious davide sa "constructive resignation" daw ni pangulong erap estrada mahigit isang dekada na ang nakakalipas. lol. asa pa....
"Sereno’s scholarly assertion on the matter of verification can very well apply in the instant Corona impeachment. Perhaps even more so especially since we are talking here of the very rigorous and ultimately high minded process of dismissing the country’s Chief Magistrate. As the lady justice so correctly stated “the Rules of Court and jurisprudence... prescribe clear and stringent requirements in the matter of verification… such that a false verification can lead to the dismissal of a petition (in this case the impeachment complaint itself) and the person(s) making the false verification can be punished for perjury and contempt of court."
