The camp of ousted Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno would appeal the Supreme Court’s ruling in favor of the quo petition filed against her by Solicitor General Jose Calida. “Ngayon kino-consider ay definitely ay ‘yung filing ng motion for reconsideration…” Sereno’s lawyer, Josa Deinla, said in an interview over DZMM shorty after the reported ouster of the Chief Justice. Deila insisted that the SC decision was wrong. Voting 8-6 this Friday, the justices reportedly granted Calida’s petition against Sereno. The decision is expected to be immediately executory, pending the filing of a motion for reconsideration by Sereno.
