THE CONSTITUTION GUARANTEE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SECURITY OF TENURE

THE STORY OF CHIEF JUSTICE SERENO, A TOP RANKING GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL OF THE REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES AND THE HEAD OF THE JUDICIAL BRANCH WHICH WAS RECENTLY REMOVED FROM HER OFFICE MADE ME WONDER HOW IT WAS HAPPENED? AND WHY IT  WAS HAPPENED? AND WHO ARE THE MASTERMINDS BEHIND THIS ORCHESTRATION? THE 1987 CONSTITUTION OF THE REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES - ARTICLE VIII, SECTION 2. SAYS: "NO LAW SHALL BE PASSED REORGANIZING THE JUDICIARY WHEN IT UNDERMINES THE SECURITY OF TENURE OF ITS MEMBERS. THE SECURITY OF TENURE OF THE CHIEF JUSTICE AND ITS MEMBERS ARE WELL PROTECTED BY THE 1987 PHILIPPINE CONSTITUTION. IN MY OWN PERSONAL OPINION, "QUO WARRANTO" IS NOT THE RIGHT PROCEDURE OF REMOVING AN IMPEACHABLE OFFICIAL BECAUSE IT UNDERMINES THE SECURITY OF TENURE OF THE CHIEF JUSTICE AND THE MEMBERS OF THE SUPREME COURT.
