Here's Irrevocable Proof That Many Filipinos Love Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno

It's time to consider the audacity of Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno and her refusal to resign as she herself said it. CRappler which is siding on the Yellows has even publicized and verified the statement that she will not resign. It's now time to consider the reality of CRappler's involvement with CJ Sereno's decision.

With the Red Monday Protests, here's what ABiaS-CBN reports as CJ Sereno camp now allege that court employees were pressured to do what they did:

The camp of Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno on Monday questioned how court employees and judges were asked to sign a manifesto calling anew for her resignation.

Some court employees were previously pressured to wear red as part of a protest against Sereno without anyone explaining to them what it signified, said the top magistrate's spokesperson Atty. Josalee Deinla.

"Marami po sa kanila ay natatakot at nakakaramdam ng intimidasyon o pressure. Sana po maipaliwanag kung paano nakuha ang kanilang saloobin sa diumano ganiyang pamamaraan (manifesto)," she told DZMM.

(Many of the employees are afraid and experiencing intimidation and pressure. We hope they could explain how they were asked to air their sentiments through that manifesto.)

Well it's already past Valentine's Day and Chinese New Year which means that wearing of red here is not a good thing! It's like having a red mark in your report card or a red light signifying failure or danger one way or another. Pressured? The camp of CJ Sereno should first prove it. I wonder if they will now allege that all the angry faces against CJ Sereno were generated by bots and trolls in order to try and save her skin?

In truth, this is where the line is drawn. Renato Corona who died a few years ago resigned. In the case of CJ Sereno there's now her undeclared Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth or SALN. She may have had other pending cases. She has a very thick face while she has very thin skin at the same time. This would be something worth thinking about with someone who's very "well loved" by many Filipinos.
