MANILA (3rd Update, 6:00 p.m.) — Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno said Wednesday that only through cooperation and understanding of other members of the judiciary and the Filipino people can the country achieve fair and impartial justice. Outlining her plans for the next 18 years, Sereno said there is a need for the judiciary to redefine itself by being responsive to today’s challenges of climate change and transparency.
This means the courts should implement paperless transactions and at the same time be the agents of openness. She also asked the public to give the Supreme Court a time to reflect.
“I believe that judicial reform must not revolve around solely on the personality of the Chief Justice rather it must be the product of a collective vision one that is forged under the leadership of the Chief Justice. I think inevitably this dialogue among members of the judiciary will lead to significant changes in governance practices within the judiciary,” Sereno said.
While she stood by her decision not to give media interviews after her speech at the 23rd Conference of the Presidents of Law Associations of Asia (POLA), Sereno confirmed to reporters that she will fully disclose her statement of assets, liabilities and net worth (SALN).
“As earlier conveyed to you, a statement will be issued soon that will indicate what has taken place in the en banc session yesterday (Tuesday) and that will include the full disclosure of SALN of the Chief Justice. Please be patient as I take very good care in ensuring that I am exact, deliberate and careful all the time,” she said at the Marriott Hotel in Pasay City.
Roan Libarios, president of the Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP), supported Sereno’s move as he asked other justices to follow suit.
Sereno, in the summary of her 2010 SALN, reported assets of P17,904,510.14 and liabilities amounting to P142,342.88, for a net worth of P17,762,167.26.
In June, the Court released guidelines on how the public can access the SALNs, which was a result of consultations with the justices of Sandiganbayan, Court of Appeals, Court of Tax Appeals and judges of lower courts.
Senators: Disenchantment with Sereno just temporary
Her ascension to the highest post in the judiciary was met with cheers by different groups and reportedly jeers by her senior colleagues in the bench.
Court sources said some justices even skipped the regular lunch after Tuesday’s en banc session, signaling discomfort with the appointment of Sereno, the third most junior justice after Bienvenido Reyes and Estela Perlas- Bernabe.
That disenchantment is natural but only temporary, Senator Franklin Drilon said, as Sereno should prove that she can build reforms in the judiciary.
“For the first time in the political history of our country the CJ will stay for 18 years. This is important because the reforms in the judiciary will take time. It takes time, you cannot do it overnight.
The judicial ship must be turned around slowly, because an abrupt change may cause the judicial ship to capsize,” he told reporters.
Among the problems cited by Drilon are clogged dockets, vacancies in judges and court personnel and holes in the Rules of Court and Procedures which can be availed of or abused by the litigants to delay the resolution of cases.
Senator Edgardo Angara said Sereno’s success will depend on winning the trust of her colleagues. Like Drilon, Angara said the disenchantment may just be a “temporary glitch” for a “talented” woman.
“[Y]ou must present to your colleagues a program of reform that is bigger than any one of them and therefore they will believe in your ability, in your capacity for vision as well as for execution,” he said.
Sereno took the time to visit the different offices in the Supreme Court before the start of the full-court session although she was not able to catch the magistrates in their respective chambers.
Her gesture was a departure from the practice of past chief justices, who received courtesy calls from fellow magistrates and various units in the SC.
Palace welcomes Sereno decision to disclose assets
Malacanang welcomed the decision of Sereno to fully disclose her SALN.
“It was good that Chief Justice Sereno decided to open up her SALN to the public,” Presidential spokesperson Edwin Lacierda.
Sereno’s predecessor Renato Corona was impeached and convicted for failure to fully disclose his assets in his SALN.
Following Sereno’s move, there have been calls for her to institutionalize the release of the SALN of all the sitting justices.
Malacanang, however, refused to comment on the clamor leaving the matter to the wisdom of the judiciary.
“Well, I think that’s an en banc decision or a decision to be decided by the Supreme Court justices,” said Lacierda.
He noted that as far as the Executive branch is concerned, disclosure of assets has been a practice for a long time.
Malacanang likewise welcomed the decision of its allies in Congress to strip the judiciary of its prerogative not to disclose budget when hiring people.
“Certainly anything that opens up when you’re referring to hiring, it promotes transparency and that is certainly welcome by the people,” said Lacierda.
“I think we have always advocated transparency in governance and if it’s something that will help the cause of promoting transparency insofar as the judicial branch of government and certainly it would be nice to see transparency also,” he added. (Virgil Lopez/Jill Beltran/Sunnex)

MANILA (Updated 2:09 p.m.) — The police arrested on Tuesday a member of the powerful Ampatuan clan who is among the suspects in the 2009 Maguindanao massacre.

MANILA — Members and coaching staff of the Philippine men’s basketball team Smart Gilas II will soon be feted by the senators for reclaiming the William Jones Cup in Taiwan after 14 years.
In his Senate Resolution 854, Senator Aquilino Pimentel III said every victory earned by Filipinos abroad is a source of pride and joy for the country, thus the need to recognize their efforts.
Banking on the hot hands of diminutive LA Tenorio in the payoff period, the Philippines escaped with a 76-75 squeaker over 13-time champion United States on Sunday to win the 34th edition of the tournament.
On its way to winning the title, the Philippines survived close encounters against Asian powerhouse Iran and South Korea. The Filipinos, who also won the 1981 and 1985 edition, ended with seven victories and a loss to lowly Lebanon in the single-round robin tourney.
The Senate has yet to act on the resolution filed on Tuesday. (Virgil Lopez/Sunnex)

MANILA — Vice President Jejomar Binay wrote the Commission on Higher Education (Ched) on Tuesday asking it to investigate reports of students of hospitality courses who are given training allowance but are being made to work full time abroad.
Binay said the victims of the unfair scheme are Hotel and Restaurant Management (HRM) students undergoing on-the-job training in countries like Singapore, where they are paid less than the minimum wage or not at all.
“I find this alarming considering our laws governing overseas employment and youth welfare, among others,” the Vice President said in his letter to Ched Chairperson Dr. Patricia Licuanan.
Binay, who is also the Presidential Adviser on OFW Concerns, said the training allowance does not fully compensate the students who are being given actual work instead of being given training, which normally takes three to six months.
Previous allegations have been made that foreign establishments have been using the OJT program to circumvent minimum wage laws.
On April, the United Kingdom tightened its issuance of student visas because many foreigners, including Filipinos, are allegedly using it to gain employment there.
Under the new setup, students will only be allowed to work during the school term for 10 hours a week instead of the previous 20. (Virgil Lopez/Sunnex)

MANILA — Transport group Pagkakaisa ng mga Samahan ng Tsuper at Operaytor Nationwide (Piston) held a noise barrage on Wednesday morning in protest against the series of oil price hikes that started late last month.
Piston national president George San Mateo said diesel and gasoline prices have increased by eight pesos since the final week of July, claiming that the series of oil price hikes have already consumed the 12 recent rollbacks.
According to the group, diesel now costs P45 in Metro Manila while premium gasoline now costs P57 to P58.
San Mateo also slammed Malacañang’s statement that urged drivers and operators to “accept” the deregulated nature of the oil industry.
“Malacanang knows that the problem lies on the deregulated nature of the oil industry in the Philippines but President Benigno Aquino III continue to ignore the demand of the people to repeal the 14-year-old Oil Deregulation Law,” San Mateo said.
He claimed that the said law has strengthened the oil cartel resulting in the 400 to 500 percent increase in oil prices since the law’s implementation in 1998.
San Mateo added that another noise barrage and a possible transportation strike will be conducted by the group next month.
During the noise barrage held in Philcoa, Quezon City on Wednesday, San Mateo also announced that Piston has been approved by the Commission on Elections as a legitimate party-list.
He said the challenge now for their members is to “translate” their strength in protests and mass actions to a campaign force for the 2013 polls. (Emmanuel Louis Bacani/Sunnex)

MANILA — The Commission on Elections (Comelec) has settled its budget row with the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) after the latter decided to return the poll body’s P5-billion savings.
Comelec chairman Sixto Brillantes Jr. earlier threatened to resign from his post if the DBM, headed by Secretary Florencio “Butch” Abad, will pursue its P8.4 billion proposed budget–P5 billion lower than that of the recommended budget.
“We have already agreed how the amount can be given back to us. The P5 billion would even be reverted back to us ahead of time,” Brillantes told the House committee on appropriations Wednesday.
The DBM previously recommended a budget of P13.4 billion but was later adjusted to P8.4 billion after studying the agency’s Status of Allotment, Obligation and Balances as of March 31.
Abad earlier explained that the budget of the poll body was slashed after it saved at least P5.2 billion from the purchase of precinct count optical scan (PCOS) machines.
Comelec purchased over 80,000 PCOS machines from Venezuelan-firm Smartmatic Corporation for P1.8 billion.
By the end of this year, the poll body is projected to spend at least P1 billion bringing the agency’s total 2013 budget to P12 billion, with the P8.4 billion in new appropriations.
The P12-billion budget for next year will cover the purchase of ballots, thermal paper, battery packs, marking pens, and compact flash cards. It will also be used for the deployment of PCOS machines and ballot boxes, among others.
Of the budget, at least P6 billion will be spent for the conduct of the May national and local elections, while P3 billion will be disbursed for the October barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan polls.
Meanwhile, the Comelec expects at least 52.5 million voters to participate in the midterm elections. (Kathrina Alvarez/Sunnex)

ANILA — Upset with allegations that he copied parts of his speech against the Reproductive Health (RH) bill, Senator Vicente Sotto III asked the Senate to delete from the records the quotes allegedly taken from the blog of American Sarah Pope.
Sotto made the move on Wednesday as he cited an opinion from the Intellectual Property of the Philippines (Ipophil) that plagiarism was never classified as a crime in the country.
“Wala po akong inangkin sapagka’t ako po ay di doktor. Ang blanket disclaimer ay pag-amin na ang research materials na nilalaman ng aking talumpati ay batay sa mga pag-aaral ng mga iginagalang na eksperto,” he said.
The senator said he never quoted Pope in his August 13 speech but the book of medical doctor Natasha Campbell-McBride on her research about the damaging effects of contraceptives to children whose mothers were using these prior to the pregnancy.
His wife, actress Helen Gamboa, gave birth to a son with a weak heart in 1975. The boy died five months after he was born allegedly because of complications from Gamboa’s use of anti-pregnancy pills.
Sotto, who claimed he was the first Philippine senator to be the victim of cyberbullying, told his colleagues that he was sincere in defending the sanctity of life and that the government need not employ RH methods to manage the growing population.
“Ano pa nga bang magagawa natin, kung hindi ipagdasal na lamang sila. Ang mahalaga ay kung ilan ang ating natulungan at hindi ang ating nasiraan,” he said, referring to his critics.
Senate President Juan Ponce-Enrile, also an anti-RH advocate, opened the possibility of crafting a law that would look into regulating blogs.
The 88-year-old lawmaker admitted of having difficulties in keeping pace with technology. He said he just came across with the term “blog” when the plagiarism issue was raised against his friend.
“I thought blog was just a slogan. It’s actually like a book in the Internet where you can post your opinions and ideas,” Enrile said.
Sotto’s speech has been referred to the committees on public information mass media and science and technology, chaired by Senators Gregorio Honasan II and Edgardo Angara, respectively.
The Senate is set to enter the period of amendments on Senate Bill 2865 sponsored by Senators Miriam Defensor-Santiago and Pia Cayetano, who was also implicated in a separate plagiarism case.(Virgil Lopez/Sunnex)

HE Philippine men’s and women’s teams opened their campaign on a bright note by shutting out their respective opponents at the start of 40th FIDE World Chess Olympiad late Tuesday at the WOW Convention Center in Istanbul, Turkey.
The No. 35th seed Philippine men’s team blasted No. 112 Libya, 4-0, the same whitewashing the 57th ranked women’s side dealt to No. 121 Pakistan.
Grandmaster (GM) Wesley So used his superior ELO rating 2652 to annihilate Elarbi Abobker (2259) in 48 moves of Caro-Kann defense on Board 1, while fellow GM Oliver Barbosa (2554) nipped FM Al-Zayat Ahmed (1977) in a slightly easier 42-move Queen’s Pawn Game on Board 2.
GM Mark Paragua (2508) waylaid FM Asabri Hussien (2211) after 30 moves of King’s Indian defense on Board 3 and GM candidate Oliver Dimakiling (2428) completed the opening day route on Board 4 by beating Asabri Hussan (2179) in 30 moves of an English Opening.
The still grieving GM Eugene Torre, the first Filipino and Asian GM, did not see action in deference to his mother, Dona Vicenta Torre’s death.
Woman International Master Catherine Perena (2091) led the Filipinas’ onslaught in the distaff side by crushing unrated Wasif Zenubia on Board 1, a win duplicated by FIDE Master Rulp Ylem Jose (2061) over Siddiqui Nida Mishraz (1670) on Board 2, WNM Jannelle Mae Frayna (1991) over Khuaja Ghazala Shabbir on Board 3 and National Master Jedara Docena (2061) at the expense of Khuaja Fatima Shabbir on Board 4.
In Wednesday’s second round, the PHL men’s team will be the underdog when it faces No. 23 Moldova which overwhelmed No. 100 Pakistan, 4-0; while the women’s team will have an even rougher sailing against No. 16 Slovenia which brought downed No.78 Uruguay, 4-0.
“Good start. Nagkaroon na nang momentum after the first round victory,” said National Chess Federation of the Philippines (NCFP) Chairman/President Prospero Pichay Jr. in Manila who will join NCFP Secretary-General Abraham “Bambol” Tolentino Jr. in flying to Istanbul on September 2 to give moral support to the teams.
So, Barbosa, Paragua and Dimakiling will play GM Viktor Bologan (2734), GM Dmitry Svetushkin (2569), IM Serghei Vedmediuc (2468) and IM Iulian Baltag (2396), respectively.
In the women’s play, Perena, Jose, Frayna and Docena will meet GM Anna Muzychuk (2606), WGM Vesna Rozic (2260), WIM Jana Krivec (2240) and WGM Ana Srebrnic (2211), respectively.
The Filipino woodpushers are bidding to rebound from its worst-ever 50th place finish the last time around, while the women’s team is aiming to improve on its 44th place windup in the 2010 Olympiad held in Khanty-Mansiysk, Russia.
NCFP Executive Director GM Jayson Gonzales is the head coach of the nationals. (PNA)

ANGELES CITY — The regional farmers’ group Alyansa ng mga Magbubukid sa Gitnang Luson (AMGL or Farmers’ Alliance in Central Luzon) condemned the recent harassment and threat to veteran journalist Ding Cervantes.
Cervantes, a correspondent to the Philippine Star and columnist of Punto Central Luzon newspaper, received death threats through text messages. He also noticed suspicious armed men monitoring his movements in the recent days.
Express your condolences to DILG Secretary Jesse Robredo’s family
Cervantes is also a former Sun.Star Pampanga columnist, and is based in Angeles City, Pampanga. He is a member of National Union of Journalist in the Philippines (NUJP).
“This is unacceptable as even media practitioners are threatened for doing their profession. This is essentially the same with the Maguindanao massacre where they were killed for doing their jobs. We condemn this harassment and we believe that this is part of Oplan Bayanihan,” said Joseph Canlas said, AMGL chairperson.
AMGL expressed belief that Cervantes’s case is part of Oplan Bayanihan as he wrote about sensitive issues in the region such as Hacienda Luisita, Willem Geertman’s extra-judicial killing, the Aurora Pacific Economic Zone and Freeport (Apeco) project, mining in Zambales and other agrarian issues.
It was reported that an unidentified texter sent Cervantes a message, “Isang bala ka lang,” on Friday last week, then the following weekend, his house was subjected to surveillance and again threatened through a text message.
The texter claimed he is a member of the New People’s Army (NPA) but Cervantes dismissed it.
“This is exactly what Oplan Bayanihan is, neutralizing those from the middle sector who support or work that highlights the issues of the oppressed farmers and basic sectors,” Canlas said.
The group said the implementation of Oplan Bayanihan in the region has been stepped up from merely a phase of civic-military and psychological warfare (psywar) operations to direct assault such as extra-judicial killings.
Last July, Dutch development executive Wilhelmus JJ Lutz Geertman was killed in Angeles City, while Bayan Muna leader Romualdo Palispis was killed on June 30 in Maria Aurora town, Aurora province.
