Charges against Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno

Failure to declare her real wealth, 
Buying a luxury car with government funds and 
Making questionable decisions without consulting fellow magistrates.

It was on Sept. 13, 2017, the House committee found the impeachment complaint filed by Lorenzo Gadon - "Sufficient in Form and Substance" - giving the way for the panel to hear the charges against Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno.

Habang pinapanood ko si Chief Justice Sereno, napakakalmante niya - ang kaniyang face expression at ang kaniyang pananalita - habang kaniyang pinabubulaanan ang mga charges laban sa kaniya. Ayon sa kaniya her impeachment was based on "false and flimsy grounds”. In that case dapat lamang na harapin niya ang Impeachment complaint tulad ni former Chief Justice Corona.

What we would expect then, if impeached, Chief Justice Sereno would be the second Chief Justice to face her fate following her predecessor. Former Renato Corona was impeached in December 2011 and found guilty by the Senate in May 2012 for failing to disclose his real wealth in his SALN.
