A New Chief Justice for a better Supreme Court?

     We all know that President Aquino have appointed Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno to head the Supreme Court (SC) of the Philippines a few days ago. The new Chief Justice is a female, 52 years old and will stay as the top gun of the SC for 18 years if nobody decides to kick her out of office at the end of Pres. Aquino's term.

     This is the first time that a female Chief Justice will take the lead, preside and hold the reins of the highest Court of the land. A lot of people lauded the decision of the President in choosing Sereno but there are also plenty  of sour-griping and mudslinging at this early point in time. I guess that's what we humans do all the time, sour-grape, spread rumors and other negative things about each other.

     CJ Sereno's supporters believe that she will reform the old, obsolete and dilapidated Supreme Court. Being a younger Chief Justice, she may just do that and this will surely bring benefits to the Filipinos. If CJ Sereno is honest, upright and God-fearing person as she and her supporters claim to be; then maybe she is a God-sent angel to us all Pinoys. Yup, it's about time that we have reliable and trustworthy public servants. We have been in deep shit for so long.

     The detractors of the freshly appointed Chief Justice on the other hand have already started the demolition job. They said that the new CJ failed the Psycho test/exam given during the selection process. They say that she's a nut-job just like Sen. Miriam Defensor-Santiago. Her critics also point out that she's the lapdog of the President because CJ Sereno always ruled favorably for Pres. Noynoy Aquino and his family.

     An example was for the higher compensation for the Aquino Clan for the Hacienda Luisita acquisition and distribution to the farmers. CJ Sereno also approved the issuance of the Hold Departure Order against Ex-Pres. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo when the little bitch tried to flee the country to avoid her criminal cases.

     Let's wait and see what our new Chief Justice will do in the following weeks, months and years. If she can prove to the Filipinos that she's a good public servant by not lying, cheating and stealing from the people and not bowing down to the whims of the President then well and good. But if she ends up just like that old fart, ex-CJ Renato Corona then I guess the next President will kick her ass out of the Supreme Court after Pres. Aquino's term. Yes folks, that's how every Government should work; Public Servants should always serve and protect the people. It's our way or the highway!!!
