Associate Justice Noel Tijam

Associate Justice Samuel Martires was one of six Supreme Court magistrates whom Chief Justice Ma Lourdes Sereno wanted to inhibit from a quo warranto case seeking her disqualification.

The Supreme Court has created a monster in the Office of the Solicitor General after its controversial 8-6 decision to remove former Chief Justice Ma. Lourdes Sereno through the quo warranto petition filed by the incumbent Jose Calida.

Ousted Chief Justice Ma. Lourdes Sereno claimed that she would have easily won the quo warranto petition against her if only six of the eight Associate Justices who voted to disqualify her had inhibited from the case for bias against her.

The House of Representatives isn't taking its chances despite reports that the Supreme Court will decide on the quo warranto case against Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno next month.

The Supreme Court will no longer wait for Congress to resume its sessions and vote on the impeachment complaint against Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno before deciding on her fate.

A colleague of Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno blamed her for the apparent “expansion” of the Maute Group into other areas of Mindanao, after she allegedly sat on the petition to transfer Maute cases outside of Mindanao.

Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez said Supreme Court Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno had the obligation to attend the impeachment hearing at the House of Representatives.

The camp of Supreme Court (SC) Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno said lawyer Larry Gadon lied again regarding accusations she sat on requests to transfer the Maute cases outside Mindanao.

Lawmakers pressured the Supreme Court Clerk of Court to disclose the result of the raffle of the transfer of Maute cases, despite her insistence that she cannot reveal raffle results, citing internal rules of the High Court.

Two more justices of the Supreme Court are set to appear before the House Committee on Justice to testify regarding the impeachment case against Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno.

The House Committee on Justice is expecting Supreme Court (SC) Associate Justice Teresita de Castro to attend the hearing on the impeachment complaint against Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno on Wednesday (November 28).
