TAGBILARAN CITY, Bohol, May 31 (PIA)–Magpulong na sa Lunes, Hunyo 4 ang Judicial and Bar Council (JBC) alang sa himuong pagdawat sa nominasyon sa mahimong mosunod nga chief justice.
Matud pa ni JBC member nga si Atty. Milagros Fernan-Cayosa, tungod kini sa pagdeklarar sa Korte Suprema kagahapon nga bakante na ang posisyon sa punong mahistrado human ma-impeach si Chief Justice Renato Corona.
Adunay 90 ka adlaw si Presidente Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III aron magbutang og bag-ong punong mahistrado apan target nilang maka-sumite og listahan sa mga nominado sulod sa 45 ka adlaw.
Gibutyag ni Cayosa nga base sa Batakang Balaod, adunay tulo ka minimum requirement aron ma-nominate o irekomendar sa posisyon. Angay natural born Filipino citizen, 40 anyos pataas ug adunay 15 ka tuig nga kasinatian sa pagserbisyo isip hukom o pag-practice sa
balaod.
Apan tungod kay chief justice man ang gihisgotan, mas maayo kun mas taas pa ang kwalipikasyon.
Gipasabot usab ni Cayosa nga dili kinahanglang gikan sa sulod o sa Korte Suprema ang mosunod nga punong mahistrado.
Giingong dili usab limitado sa nominasyon o rekomendasyon apan mahimong mo-apply ang usa ka interesadong indibidwal kun sa iyang tan-aw kwalipikado siya sa posisyon. (PIA-Bohol/ecb)

The first round of the Judicial and Bar Council’s interviews for those vying for a Supreme Court seat began on Monday.
Scheduled to face the council in the morning are Court of Appeals Associate Justice Hakim Abdulwahid, Court of Tax Appeals Presiding Justice Ernesto Acosta, and Court of Tax Appeals Associate Justice Lovell Bautista.
Court of Appeals Associate Justices Mariflor Castillo and Japar Dimaampao are set to face the JBC in the afternoon.
The Judicial and Bar Council is the constitutionally created body tasked to vet, screen, and nominate to the President appointees to vacant positions in the judiciary.
There are 28 people vying for the vacant Supreme Court post left by Renato Corona when he assumed the Chief Justice post last May 17.
The 1987 Constitution says that a vacancy in the high tribunal must be filled up within 90 days. This means that President Benigno Aquino III has until August 17, or 90 days after Corona’s appointment, to name his first Supreme Court appointee.
Earlier, SC administrator and spokesperson Jose Midas Marquez said the JBC might submit its shortlist of nominees to Mr. Aquino by the first week of August. (PIA-Bohol)
