THE justice committee of the House of Representatives has found probable cause to impeach Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno. Rep. Reynaldo Umali of Oriental Mindoro, the House justice panel chairman, said earlier on Thursday the vote would be on each charge contained in Gadon’s complaint, but this did not happen. As we dug deeper for facts, we have even caused the Office of the Solicitor General to file a quo warranto case vs the Chief Justice. “Can the people still trust the Chief Justice after all that has been revealed here? None,” Bag-ao said in a statement, alluding to the Supreme Court justices who testified against Sereno during the House Justice panel deliberations.
