DESPITE her ouster, sacked chief justice Maria Lourdes Sereno continues to use her high-end sport utility vehicle (SUV) to get to her speaking engagements. The justices expect the motion for reconsideration in the quo warranto proceedings to be resolved by that time, sources said. A source said Acting Chief Justice Antonio Carpio would be tasked to issue the resolution on the return of the vehicles. Whether I am retained as a chief justice or whether I am removed as a chief justice, the mission for justice must continue,” Sereno added. Sereno had insisted that her removal via quo warranto was illegal since she can only be ousted through impeachment.
