Palace vouches for competence of new Chief Justice Gesmundo

By Prince Golez

MalacaƱang expressed confidence that newly-appointed Chief Justice Alexander Gesmundo will maintain judicial excellence and independence, promote the rule of law, and preserve its professional integrity.

In a virtual presser Monday, Spokesman Harry Roque confirmed that President Rodrigo Duterte has signed the appointment of Gesmundo as Chief Justice.

“Hindi na bago si Chief Justice Gesmundo sa hudikatura na kanyang pinagsilbihan ng maraming taon bilang associate justice ng Kataas-taasang Hukuman at bilang associate justice ng Sandiganbayan,” said Roque.

“Tiwala kami na ipagpatuloy ng bagong punong mahistrado na i-uphold ang judicial excellence at independence, pairalin ang rule of law at pangunahan ang mga reporma para itaguyod ang integridad at propesyonalismo sa hudikatura,” he added.

Gesmundo obtained his law degree from the Ateneo de Manila University in 1984 and passed the Bar the following year.
