MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0— Three Supreme Court (SC) magistrates made it to the list of candidates for Chief Justice submitted by the Judicial and Bar Council (JBC) to President Rodrigo Duterte.<\/p>\n

In an advisory Tuesday, the JBC said these are Associate Justices Diosdado Peralta, Estela Perlas-Bernabe and Andres Reyes Jr.<\/p>\n

Peralta and Bernabe both received seven votes from the JBC while Reyes received four votes.<\/p>\n

The President’s choice will replace incumbent Chief Justice Lucas Bersamin who will mandatorily retire from the service upon reaching 70 on October 18.<\/p>\n

The Chief Executive has 90 days from vacancy to appoint a new top magistrate.<\/p>\n

Peralta will be the second most senior magistrate followed by Bernabe while Reyes will be the sixth most senior following Bersamin’s retirement.<\/p>\n

Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio earlier declined his nomination for the judiciary’s top post as he will also compulsorily retire from the service on October 26.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
