CJ Sereno, defends former Pres. Aquino in appointing her

Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno defended former President Benigno Aquino III for her elected office in 2012.

It said that the former president may have seen so much that she was chosen on the spot.

It also clarified that she did not request the position from the former president.

It does not necessarily mean that it is a phenomenon to prescribe her because the seniority of the Supreme Court seems to have not been followed.

Sereno was appointed by Aquino on August 24, 2012 after Renato Corona was impeached.
