“We have to reform ourselves,” the lone private practitioner aspiring to the post of Supreme Court associate justice told members of the Judicial and Bar Council during Wednesday’s public interview. | T2TupasINQ
The low trust rating of the judiciary does not mean that the public does not trust its members, Du-Baladad said. Instead, that rating could reflect “the totality of the perception of the judiciary” — arising perhaps from the “delay in the disposition of cases, the infrastructure, and capacity of the justices to make it work.”
Addressing the same issue of trust, Lagos said the judiciary should not be swayed by trust ratings “as long as [its] members believe they are doing their job.”“The judiciary members do not need popular support,” Lagos said.
“Justices have their own way of thinking ,and if they find something unconstitutional in the ATA, they might strike down the particular provision that would violate the constitutional right,” he said.On the subject of impeachment, Martin said it should be the only way to remove a Supreme Court magistrate.
Martin is the ponente of the decision — that is, the court member assigned to write the decision — that reinstated awards, back wages to workers of GMA Network. He also penned the ruling that approved a lawsuit arising out of a 2013 explosion in Taguig. Meanwhile, Econg said she would have dissented on the Supreme Court ruling that dismissed the petition of lawyer Jesus Falcis on same-sex marriage.
