MANILA, Philippines — The social arm of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines called on the justices of the Supreme Court to discard the quo warranto petition against embattled chief magistrate Maria Lourdes Sereno. But he cannot do it, the group said, unless Sereno is ousted from the Supreme Court. “Let us all unite and rally behind her to discard the quo warranto as well as the impeachment complaint. Last March 5, Solicitor General Jose Calida filed a quo warranto before the SC challenging the legality of Sereno’s appointment to the high court. The Integrated Bar of the Philippines also filed a petition for intervention with a prayer of dismissal against Calida’s petition.
