    De Lima asked: Would you like to be Chief Justice?

    Is the Justice Secretary eyeing the Supreme Court top post?

    This was one of the questions posed to Justice Secretary Leila de Lima as she testified during the Day 23 trial of Chief Justice Renato Corona's impeachment.

    De Lima however said that she will “probably decline” when offered the position.
     
    It was Senator Jinggoy Estrada who asked and told her there are reports that she will replace Chief Justice Renato Corona once convicted.
     
    “Hindi po totoo iyan. Wala po akong alam diyan,” de Lima said.
     
    “Eh kapag inalok po sa inyo ni Pangulong Aquino yung posisyon?” Estrada continued.
     
    “Hindi ko po alam. I'll probably decline,” she replied.
     
    De Lima was testifying before the impeachment court that Corona acted in favor of former president Gloria Macapagal Arroyo when the SC issued a temporary restraining order against the DOJ’s hold departure order.
     
    Estrada then pressed De Lima if she would rather run for senator.
     
    “Hindi ko pa rin po alam. Hindi ko pa po pinaplano ang career ko,” she said.
     
    De Lima landed in the top 12 list of senatorial preference for the May 2013 elections, based on the national survey of Pulse Asia released December last year.
     
    Meanwhile, Senator Panfilo Lacson questioned the legality of DOJ’s issuance of watchlist orders.
     
    The justice secretary told Lacson that though there is no law expressly authorizing DOJ to issue WLO, DOJ Circular 41 allows them to do so.
     
    “Hindi ho ba self-serving ang Circular 41?” Lacson asked De Lima.
     
    “DOJ has the power to issue rules and regulations to carry out in its mandate. Issuing WLO has been a long-recognized institutional power of DOJ,” she answered.
     
    Lacson further expressed his concern that the WLO can be used against “perceived enemies.”
     
    De Lima, however, assured the senator that she doesn't use her power for “improper motives and political vendetta.”
     
    The two had been at odds when De Lima insisted on the arrest warrant against Lacson despite the court’s dismissal of the case filed against the senator over the killings of publicist Salvador “Bubby” Dacer and driver, Emmanuel Corbito.

      Corruption in the Philippines is until in the Core of the Earth, all of them, if you have the guts do whatever you needed to do.
      • CoolFlower29 2 months ago
        susme -- mas maraming corruption sa ibang bansa... pero di sila ngenge sa progreso kasi matalinong magplano at masipag magtrabaho para sa bayan mga pinuno nila...
      • pedro 2 months ago
        Pasalamat nga tayo. Ang corruption sa ibang bansa hindi mo matikman. Dito sa pilipinas at least matikman bawat tatlo taon, at bawat anim na taon (na malaki bigay) kung presidente. Pasalamat tayo at ang mahihirap makapasaing ng tatlong kain isang araw sa panahon ng eleksyon.

      I agree with some people here. Kung sino man ang nagkasala habulin at papanagutin. But it should be through rule of LAW. We are not a nation of monkeys and apes. Remember, two wrongs does not not make anything right.
      • beanstalk 2 months ago
        even a single wrong is not right, one mistake alone can never put back the credibility of the person. unless humility sets in but they are tooooo proud.

HEHEHE ... hatalang halata po... or baka nga gusto nya maging senador... yan ba ang ilalagay sa senado eh di lahat ng pinagusapan didaldal lang nya HAHAHA
    • Christian  •  2 months ago
      Ang hirap maging Witness si DE LIMA.

      Normal Witness just answers yes or no, they need to elaborate if the Prosecution or Defense or the Senate Judge ask them to.

      But for De Lima, it goes like this " Question answer by yes or no" Sagot ni Delima yes but may I explain and May i Add and may i interpose and may and may and may.. Wag ka naman bias. Let the truth speak for itself, let us not fabricate pls.. God may help you

      Abnoy to De Lima : Mahilig ka pala sa Chocolate !

      De Lima to Abnoy : Bakit niyo po nasabi yan Mr. President ?

      Abnoy to De Lima: Kasi puro HERSHEY ang sinabi mo sa Senado.
    • ogie a.  •  2 months ago
      Ganito sana kasimple mga tanong ni Cuevas kay de lima para di na nakapag-story telling a lie si DILEMNA...

      kasama ka ba ng mga SC Justices nung i-deliberate ang TRO? HINDI PO...
      Napakinggan mo ba mga oral arguments habang pinaguusapan ang TRO? HINDI PO...
      Andun ka ba ng magbotohan ang mga SC Justices para sa TRO? WALA PO...
      Nakita mo ba na kinukumbinsi ni CJ Corona ang 7 justices na humoto pabor sa TRO? HINDI PO...

      NO MORE QUESTIONS YOUR HONOR!!!

      go ako dyan-delima for chief justice, tupas and his gangs for associate justices . .then palitan ang pangalan ng court-from supreme court to showbiz court. .where chismis rules
    • Rudante  •  Manila, National Capital Region  •  2 months ago
      A justice Secretary mahilig sa hearsay? Ibig sabihin ng hearsay sa Tagalog ay "TSISMIS". How can a good judgement be made when it is based on chismis not on facts, pwe!

      ENVY is the root of her being BARBARIC and HOSTILE
    • arkc  •  Manila, National Capital Region  •  2 months ago
      If you should listen intently to her testimony;

      It shall become apparent that De Lima is behind this impeachment, her false analysis of what transpired in the SC during the TRO deliberation where she is not a party to, this impeachment was drafted by her and initiated from mere hearsay....she led PNOY into this.

      notice her containing anger, it's obvious she's irritated and affected, after all as i said she almost admitted her direct involvement in the articles...
    • Christian  •  2 months ago
      Bakit ang obvious nya na gusto na durugin si CORONA? dahil ba nag papabango kay PNOY?

      Minsan natanong ng Anak ko sakin.

      Anak: Tay bakit ganun sabi nung una maraming pera si Corona?
      Tatay: Cguro mayaman pamilya nya.
      Anak: Sabi nila marami daw cya bahay. sana tayo rin..
      Tatay: Hindi kanya lahat un. ung iba lang.
      Anak: Tay sabi sa balita un ung totoo.
      Tatay: Naku anak Cartoons nalng panuurin mu.
      Anak: Tay cnu binoto mu presidente? Si Noynoy ba?
      Tatay: OO
      Anak: Bakit?
      Tatay: Si villar dapat. eh nadaan ako sa magandang campaign.
      Anak: Sana si Manny Villar nalng tay para mayaman lahat marami bahay.
      Tatay: Anu kba ang bata bata muna yan na naiisip mu. Tsaka hindi rin manalo villar dahil lamang si noynoy
      Anak: Bakit nila inaaway si corona
      Tatay: Hindi nila inaaway tinatanong lang.
      Anak: sana maayos na problema ng pilipinas kce sabi ni teacher maliit sweldo nya.

      Simple lang naman problema ng pinas, kahirapan at kakulangan sa pag unlad, mayaman and pinas kailangan lang paunladin, NOY-NOY sana unahin mu pinas, matuwid na daan ang pangako mu pero ang congressista mu absent lahat sa congresso at pork barrel lang ang inaasikaso. sayang ang pondo at oras. mukang mauuwi tayo sa another election with-out improvements, aaminin ko inaani mu lang ung na close na deal ni gloria. SINAYANG MU ANG BOTO KO.. magising ka sana. kung dmu kaya sabihin mu at wag ka mangako.

      marami ang nagugutom at kumakalam sikmura. maawa ka. may the holy spirit guide you.

      from the looks of it she's unfit to become a chief justice. she failed miserably in the basics of law. delima, you wake up from your dream/illusion!
    • carla  •  Manila, National Capital Region  •  2 months ago
      dati nasa CHR sya, hindi masyadong maingay name nya but when she's transferred to DOJ, nag ingay kasi mas maganda exposure nya duon. obviously, may vested interest for a higher position or in politics yan. pero napansin ko, ito ang abogadong mahilig based ang decision nya sa kutob or intuition. dapat nag psychic ka nalang, tignan mo si madame auring mas sikat pa sayo.
    • Fritz  •  Manila, National Capital Region  •  2 months ago
      Please lang tigilan nyo na yan. Ang realidad ng pilipinas ay talagang wala na.. as in WALA NG PAG ASA na makipagsabayan sa other Asian countries including the 3rd world countries. Kung sa pag unlad lang din. MOST of those government officials are CORRUPT. They are all pain in the ass! Dapat unahin ang pagpapaunlad ng bansa. Umpisahan sa Education, Employment System, Infrastructure and giving all the way to those Filipino businessman na malaki ang macocontribute sa bansa. Oh well Filipinos are worth dying for sabi nga ni Ninoy.
