    Republic vs. Sereno, G.R. No.

    237428, May 11, 2018

    REPUBLIC of the PHILIPPINES,


    represented by SOLICITOR GENERAL JOSE C. CALIDA,
    Petitioner

    MARIA LOURDES P.A. SERENO


    Respondent

    TIJAM, J.:

    Whoever walks in integrity and with moral character walks securely,


    but he who takes a crooked way will be discovered and punished. (Prov. 10:9)

    Francis Bacon - "'[a]bove all things, integrity is the Judge's portion and proper virtue."

    INTEGRITY - qualification of being honest, truthful, and having steadfast adherence to moral and ethical
    principles. Integrity connotes being consistent - doing the right thing in accordance with the law and
    ethical standards everytime.

    The position of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court must be the exemplar of honesty, probity and
    integrity.
