CFJ STATEMENT ON SOLGEN CALIDA'S REFUSAL TO FILE QUO WARRANTO ACTION AGAINST JUSTICE TERESITA DE CASTRO, APRIL 25, 2018

Let us light candles and hold a vigil, for justice has just died.

Solicitor General Jose Calida has refused to take action on the citizen's request to file a quo warranto petition against Justice Teresita de Castro. He is basing his refusal on the specious justification that it was not de Castro who was appointed Chief Justice, but Maria Lourdes Sereno. He says that the basis for quo warranto applicable to Sereno cannot be imposed on de Castro because she was not appointed Chief Justice anyway.

This is a ridiculous, pathetic evasion. The issue here is INTEGRITY. If CJ Sereno's probity is being impugned because of a few missing SALNs which she has PROVEN that she filed, then the same strict standard should be applied to de Castro. If Calida cannot accept the fact of Sereno's substantial compliance, then neither should he accept de Castro's. It does not matter that she was not appointed CJ. After all, Calida claims that integrity is a continuing requirement, and when it is proven that a Justice has no integrity, she can be removed at any time.

Following Calida’s argument, De Castro’s failure to clear Calida's high bar of "integrity" should make her ineligible for her post as Associate Justice and, thus, subject to quo warranto proceedings, period.

What we see here at work is a blatant double standard. Operating here is a policy of injustice where friends are protected and foes are persecuted; where lies are spun to defend or attack; where the selective application of law is key. This is all we can expect from this regime. It can produce no better. We will be fools to hope for more.

Let us together mourn the demise of justice at the hands of those sworn to protect it. They have culpably violated the Constitution. They have shamelessly betrayed our trust. They have killed justice in this land. They are not fit to continue in office. It is time to hold them to account. Let us grieve, but then let us move. It is now incumbent upon us to act. We the people must resuscitate justice, and together let us apply it with full force and effect upon them.

CFJ STATEMENT ON THE UNJUST, ILLEGAL SUPREME COURT RULING ON QUO WARRANTO, APRIL 24, 2018

There is a clear and present danger upon us, and it issues from the Highest Court of the Land.

It was recently reported that the Supreme Court will release its decision on the Quo Warranto petition against Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno on May 17, 2018, two weeks after it goes into recess. This is an unusual development. The Coalition for Justice believes it is an alarming development, because the High Court is pursuing with haste what must be done with careful deliberation. The decision on the Quo Warranto action must not be rushed.

There are several issues that take priority. The Supreme Court must explain its denial of the four motions to intervene in the Quo Warranto case. It must act on the intervenors' motions to be heard. And, above all, it must justify its condonation of the Biased 5's refusal to inhibit despite their hostile and partial conduct toward CJ Sereno. All of this is on its plate, yet the Supreme Court will decide on May 17. We can only surmise that it is pre-empting the transmittal to the Senate of the House of Representative's empty Articles of Impeachment. It is well-known that these Articles have no hope of success; thus, the Quo Warranto must prosper.

By granting the Quo Warranto petition, the Justices will be poising the ax at the root of their own tree. This precedent will dismantle the system of checks and balances enshrined in our Constitution, designed to preserve the fragile balance of power that guarantees a working democracy. By granting the Quo Warranto petition, the Justices will make the Solicitor General more powerful than the Senate. They will permit him to remove any constitutional officer by Quo Warranto action on the mere whiff of ineligibility. Worst of all, the Supreme Court will enable the Solicitor General to demolish judicial independence by removing any judicial officer at the will and whim of the President. This renders the Supreme Court impotent, a political eunuch acting at the behest of a tyrant; worse, it threatens the tenure of magistrates in good standing all over the land. What jurist can rule fairly with a sword dangling overhead?

This is the end to which the Supreme Court is leading us. The Coalition for Justice maintains that a decision granting the Quo Warranto action is UNJUST and ILLEGAL. That the deliberations were participated in by the Biased 5 who displayed prejudice and rancor against the CJ; that the decision was drafted by one of them, Noel Tijam, who circulated it on April 2, before the oral arguments and the submission of final memoranda; that the grounds for the petition are without basis and yet the Supreme Court continues to lean toward it – all these confirm the injustice that marks the High Court today. For these reasons, the Coalition for Justice charges the Supreme Court with culpable violation of the Constitution. We shall repudiate its unlawful ruling sustaining the Quo Warranto petition.

The Constitution declares that ultimate power resides in the people. We now exercise that power in defense of our institutions and the rule of law. We shall not rest until truth, righteousness, and justice are restored to our land. This is our pledge, and so we mark it today. Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!

ANG GMA-7 BUMALIKTAD

Ang dating WALA ng 24-Oras, Channel-7, eh nagkaMERON na ngayon pabor ke dotard, see?

'MERONG KINIKILINGAN'

'MERONG PINOPROTEKTAHAN'

'SERBISYONG AC/DC LAMANG'

Anong say n'yo Mike 'hrmmm eksyus mipo' Enrikess at Mel Tiyangko, hmm?

DRUGS LINGER BECAUSE DOTARD IS 'SCARED OF CHINA'

Si dotard eh halata nang sunod-sunuran na lamang sa tsayna porke siya'y TAKOT-na-TAKOT.

Matatandaang nagpasikat ng todo-todo si dotard sa tsayna at minura si exPOTUS Obama, ang Pope, UK, UN, US, etc pero marubdob naman niyang sinasanto ang tsaynis, see?

Eh kasi alam ng tsayna ang DARK SECRET ni dotard and he is afraid of being exposed, peksman!!!

Clues: Adik sa fentanyl, TRIAD, P6.4-B shabu, TAN, DONG, LIM, ukay-ukay, tattoo ni Pulong - EBIDENS NA MAHIRAP PASUBALIAN NI DOTARD!!!

DUTERTE SCORNS SERENO ANEW: SHE'S 'IGNORAT' 'DUMP'

Sabi ni Dotard pagkagaling niyang maglamierda mula Hong Kong - ". . I will ask Congress to go the impeachment right away."

Pero maya-maya lang eh INIBA niya ang naunang statement - "I am not directing Congress, I am not a member of Congress (eh mga duterTARDS na BOBO at IGNORATE lang naman ang hindi nakakaalam noh!) I am directing my partymates."

ANO BA TALAGA KUYA? NAKA-FENTANYL KA NA NAMAN!!!

Sabi nga ni CJ Sereno - "This is a battle of the RIGHT vs EVIL."

DUTERTE SLAMS SERENO ANEW: SHE'S 'IGNORANT,' 'DUMP'

Talagang nakakatawa at aandap-andap nang makahugot ng legal arguments si Dotard mula sa kanyang utak, bagkos eh he is resorted to name calling because he can't substantiate his allegations against CJ Sereno, o hah!

Matatandaang umiwas at hindi sinipot ni Dotard ang hamon niyang magdedebate sila ni Atty Jude Sabio hinggil sa kasong isinampa ni Sabio vs Dotard sa ICC porke nakatakdang lilipad kuno ang panggulo patungong Hong Kong, see?

Naintindihan na ng publiko ang ugali ni Dotard, LIKAS NA DUWAG at BOBO, dahil madalas he is talking to himself lalo na kapag high sa fentanyl, o 'di ba spookman hurry rookie?

". . ONE MAN RULE IS ALREADY HERE" - CJ SERENO

"I will use directly the words of Chief Justice Hilario Davide that he delivered last week, that it would be judicial harakiri if not a judicial kamikaze, bringing with it the destruction of the entire judiciary as well as the entire legal profession where your fight against one man rule is already lost. One man rule is already here," - CJ Sereno

AGUIRRE STAYS ON AS DOJ CHIEF

Medyo nanghilakbot kami sa headline story ng Phil Star kahapon - 'Aguirre stays on as DOJ chief, says Roque, quasing rumor of sacking.'

Sigurado kaming MORO-MORO lang ito ni Dotard porke how could Wiguirre be dismissed when HE KNOWS ALL THE SECRETS of Dotard, dating back from Davao EJK time, 'di ba?

Matatandaan ng madlang-pipol 'yung istoria ng Laud Quarry sa Davao kung saan eh ginawang SEMENTERIO para sa mga biktima ng EJK ni Dotard at hawak ang KUMPLETONG EBIDENS ni Sen D5 dahil mismong si D5 ang nag-imbestiga sa case no'ng siya pa ang chair ng CHR, remember?

Halimbawang totoo ngang sisibakin si Wiguirre as SoJ eh sigurado kaming BABALIKTAD ito vs Dotard re ICC case at puedeng gagawin siyang witness vs THE DIRTY DOZEN sa kasong GENOCIDE, o 'di ba spooker hurry?
