The battle will be between outgoing Chancellor Angela Merkel (Christian-Democratic Union), who is running for a fourth term in office as head of the Germany government and the former President of the European Parliament (2012-2017) Martin Schulz (Social Democratic Party, SPD), who is running for the first time for the post of Chancellor.

    Separate Opinion I

    G.R. No. 237428 (Republic of the Philippines, represented by Solicitor General Jose C. Calida, petitioner, v. Maria Lourdes P.A.. Sereno, respondent) Promulgated: x -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- SEPARATE OPINION MARTIRES, J.: It is well to state, at the outset, that we are NOT REMOVING A CHIEF JUSTICE because respondent Maria Lourdes P. A. Sereno, who has no valid appointment, is not the legitimate Chief Justice that the Filipino people perceive her to be. She failed to comply with the requirement of submission of Statements of Assets, Liabilities, and Net Worth (SALNs) imposed by the Judicial and Bar Council (JBC) for applicants to the position of Chief Justice, and such noncompliance necessarily renders her appointment invalid, making her a mere "de facto" Chief Justice who can be removed from office through an action for quo warranto. Further, it is my humble submission that the constitutional provision on impeachment as u mode of removing an impeachable officer from office only applies to a "de Jure" and not to a de facto officer like respondent Sereno. In any event, the heart of this petition for quo warranto does not pertain to acts performed by respondent Sereno as a de facto Chief Justice but is with respect to her right to continue to hold and exercise the powers of the office of Chief Justice. In view of the foregoing, I CONCUR IN THE RESULT of the ponencia and vote to GRANT the petition. Respondent Maria Lourdes P.A. Sereno FAILED TO QUALIFY for the position of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the Philippines and must therefore be OUSTED from office.

    Introduction from Aquino II to Duterte: Change, Continuity—And Rupture

    Introduction From Aquino II to Duterte: Change, Continuity—and Rupture Imelda Deinla and Björn Dressel Democratic practices of the Philippines, Asia’s oldest democracy and the second most populous country in the ASEAN region, have been a puzzle to many scholars and observers of democracy. While vibrant in terms of voter turnout, civic engagement, and institutional protections, there are widespread flaws in Philippine democratic processes—illustrated by persistent pernicious elite politics, continued institutional weakness, and widespread abuse of public office.1 The country’s economic record is as patchy as its democracy. The long-standing description of the Philippines as the “sick man of Asia” has been rebutted by the country’s rapid economic growth over the last decade (2007–17). However, with regular boom and bust cycles, and persistent deep-seated poverty and inequality—concerns remain about the equity and sustainability of this type of growth in the Philippines.2 Built on the legacies of Spanish and United States colonial rule, the Philippine state remains confronted by constant challenges to its legitimacy—including Asia’s longest communist rebellion, Muslim separatist insurgencies in Mindanao, and large-scale public protests such as the first and second Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA 1 and 2) Philippine’s People Power Revolution that forced changes in leadership through extra-constitutional processes.3 19-J05490 01 From Aquino II to Duterte.indd 1 17/4/19 9:59 AM 2 Imelda Deinla and Björn Dressel “Change” has therefore been a recurring theme in Philippine political, economic, and social discourses. The discourse of change holds considerable appeal and permeates the everyday lives of ordinary Filipinos with remarkable intensity and frequency.
