Should the Supreme Court have reversed its decision ousting Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno?
No. The highest court had its ruling already and we should just trust the justice system of this country. – MA. LEONORA ESTANQUE, 21, Journalism graduate, West Visayas State University
Yes, because she deserves it and I believe her. She just fucked up with her Statements of Assets Liabilities and Net Worth and her only fault is that she stood up to President Duterte and now, she got impeached.
What kind of justice system do we have? Just because Duterte’s administration dislikes our Chief Justice, she should be kicked out of the Supreme Court? – TRINIA ESCUTIN, 24, online merchandise reseller, Iloilo City
She deserves to be impeached for culpable violation of the Constitution, betrayal of public trust, and corruption. The 38-2 votes without abstentions in the House Justice committee says it all. – KATHLYN PARCON, 20, student, University of San Agustin
Oo, kay kaluoy lang siya. Indi man siya tani matam-an batikos kag sa mga aligasyon batok sa iya galing hay gin kontra ya abi si Duterte. Te lain dun nga istorya kun siya imo kontra. Pero gapati ko nga mayo man siya ah. – RONALD JAVIER, 29, fast food crew, Roxas City
The highest court already made its decision. So para ano pa nga e-revise We should respect it and besides, Sereno is really guilty man gid ya. Kun wala siya gin batikos, wala ta nabal-an kag wala ya gin balik ang iya P5-million Land Cruiser vehicle. – JID ACUÑA, 22, student, St. Therese MTC College – La Paz
Indi na eh, may sala man tana kag ang kahuruya kun mabawi-bawi pa desisyon. Supreme Court dun daa gani ang nag desisyon te respetuhon ta dulang eh. – RICKY TALANAS, 37, farmer, Pototan Iloilo
Yes, because the Chief Justice can only be removed through impeachment, not qou warranto. Legislators should follow the Constitution because that is basic foundation of all laws. – ISAIAH JUNIO, Altar Server, M.H. Del Pillar, Jaro, Iloilo City
The Supreme Court is the highest and last recourse of all cases, so whatever and decision sang SC indi na mabali pa. Pero sad to say, wala nila gina-execute ang ila powers as attorneys. – ROSILFA ANDREA MALLA, Journalism student, West Visayas State University
Dapat gid, wala man kaso kun may pahalinon sila, but dapat gid in line sa Constitution ang process. — LUISA ESPOSADO, administrative aide, Oton, Iloilo
Gabag-o bag-o lang mga opisyales sa ibabaw, kahinay man sa gihapon ang justice system sa Pilipinas. — LANIE MAKATANG, housewife, Santa Barbara, Iloilo
Yes, because ang mga judges sang Supreme Court wala nagsunod sa Constitution in ousting a Chief Justice. – LESLIE ANN LAGRADA, mother, Dueñas, Iloilo
Kun sin-o man ang magpungko sa Supreme Court, kabay may pagbag-o na kag tani mangin fair man sila sa tanan. – RANDY GENEBLAZA, Sports Education student, Oton, Iloilo
