The Judicial and Bar Council (JBC) said it will accept complaints against any of the 15 candidates seeking a seat at the Supreme Court (SC).

SC Clerk of Court and JBC Ex-Officio Secretary Marife Lomibao-Cuevas pointed this out in an announcement she issued May 21, which named the 15 candidates seeking to become a magistrate of the SC.

Cuevas said the public “may submit a sworn complaint, report, or opposition against any of the aforesaid candidates” to the JBC via mail or e-mail.

The 15 candidates include Finance Undersecretary Antonette Tionko; Court Administrator Jose Midas Marquez; Deputy Court Administrator Raul Villanueva; Sandiganbayan Justices Amparo Cabotaje Tang, Geraldine Faith Econg, Rafael Lagos, and Alex Quiroz; and Court of Appeals (CA) Justices Nina Antonio Valenzuela, Apolinario Bruselas Jr., Ramon Cruz, Japar Dimaampao, and Maria Filomena Singh, Ronaldo Roberto Martin.
