Enrile: Aquino should thank Arroyo for appointing chief justice

he's become more arrogant... i love ninoy and cory, but noynoy is far different from his parents.
ninoy was noisy during his time, but he was never arrogant.
cory was just silent and humble.
both are intelligent.

ninoy should show humility even if he wins big. the 13 million people who showed support to him through the election might turn against him in the future if he remains arrogant and stupid.

yes exactly!

From Enrile: Aquino should thank Arroyo for appointing chief justice - Yahoo! Philippines News

Instead of criticizing President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, ‘potential president’ Senator Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino III should be thankful for the appointment of Associate Justice Renato Corona as the next Chief Justice, Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile said Thursday. He even urged Aquino to study the Constitution. During a weekly news forum at the Senate, Enrile said Aquino, who is most likely to replace Mrs. Arroyo, cannot appoint the next Chief Justice. “I respect the opinion of the potential president of the country, Noynoy, but I think he should instead be thankful that President Arroyo appointed a chief justice because if the sitting president hesitates to appoint a Chief Justice, Noynoy cannot appoint a Chief Justice if they will follow the logic that they have to pass through the JBC (Judicial and Bar Council)," he said. There will be no JBC when Aquino assumes the presidency on June 30 because of the absence of the Chief Justice, Enrile said. The JBC recommends the appointees to the Judiciary and the President selects from a list provided by the JBC. Outgoing Chief Justice Reynato Puno will retire on May 17 upon reaching the mandatory retirement age of 70. “That’s very clear in the Constitution, the Chief Justice is the ex-officio chairman of the JBC, if he is not there, the JBC cannot function," Enrile said. He said the same way the Commission on Appointments cannot function without a Senate President. “My God, these people must study the Constitution first before they open their mouths," Enrile said. In a statement issued Wednesday, Aquino said Mrs. Arroyo should have waited for the next administration to name the replacement of Puno and "recognize the new government's right to appoint the next chief justice." [See: Noynoy to Arroyo on SC chief issue: Recognize new govt] "There is no vacancy to be filled," Aquino said. — LBG/KBK, GMANews.TV

Enrile is damn wrong. It is he who should study the constitution. First, the Supreme Court and its associate justices by tradition and jurisprudence is not without a power to choose among themselves an acting chief justice while the position is yet to be filled up by way of executive appointment. Hence, right after the vacancy occurs and that is when chief justice Reynato Puno steps down on Monday (May 17, 2010), it is incumbent among the remaining justices to temporarily assign one associate justice out of its 14 standing magistrates to assume the post (and that includes the authority to preside over the JBC as ex-officio chairman). Under the constitution, the president (Noynoy Aquino) is given a 90 day period from the time the vacancy occurs to choose from the short list of viable nominees duly submitted by the Judicial and Bar Council (JBC).
Second, the JBC is but a preparatory body tasked to convene only when the need arises while on the other hand the commission on appointments (CA) is an independent constitutional creation tasked to approve appointments with finality. There is no similarity whatsoever.

bro, wla mana sa constitution nga kinahanglan jud sa chief justice manumpa. check your philippine constitution lessons. what noy2x is doing just shows how he cares and respect the lowest part of our society. taking oath with the chief justice is only a tradition and not required in the constitution. there's a saying that goes "what is NOT INCLUDED in the constitution SHOULD NOT ALWAYS BE EXLCUDED". hope u get my point.
