It is our distinct honor and privilege to have with us today the man described by the magistrates at the Supreme Court as a “transformational leader”, “an intellectual aristocrat” and “one of the greatest Chief Justices of the Supreme Court of the Philippines.” His book entitled “Equal Dignity and Respect the Substance of Equal Protection and Social Justice” was launched only last month.
In other words, he continues his crusade for a level playing field and equality in our country. Maraming salamat Mr. Chief Justice.
