A Surprising Move of Midas To Supreme Court

Philippines – Surprisingly, Court chairman Jose Midas Marquez has been designated Supreme Court partner equity. With his arrangement, Marquez turned into the high court’s 192nd partner equity, supplanting Edgardo delos Santos who resigned on June 30.

In view of this, SC representative Brian Keith Hosaka said the 55-year-old Marquez was planned to make his vow at 3 p.m. recently. Marquez’s arrangement paper endorsed by President Duterte was dated Sept. 27. A letter from Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea advising Chief Justice Alexander Gesmundo regarding Marquez’s arrangement was additionally dated Sept. 27.

On Monday, President Duterte reported his arrangement of Cabinet Secretary Karlo Nograles as his acting representative, supplanting Harry Roque who surrendered to run for congressperson in the following year’s elections.Marquez had been applying for the post of partner equity starting around 2017, and surprisingly came to the Judicial and Bar Council’s waitlist.

In 2018, official girl Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio officially documented her resistance to Marquez’s offered for the post of partner equity after he supposedly attempted to have a disbarment body of evidence against her removed purportedly to get favor in the SC arrangement.

The disbarment case originated from an occurrence in 2011 where she punched a sheriff during a destruction activity in Davao.  However, Marquez rejected that he had attempted to persuade the sheriff to pull out the body of evidence against Duterte-Carpio.

The Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP) saluted Marquez, who actually has 15 years to fill in as a judge prior to arriving at the required retirement age of 70.

His arrangement to the High Court is an affirmation of his long-standing support of the SC, having begun as a late spring understudy doing legitimate examination in the workplace of a partner equity while still in graduate school, later on filling in as simultaneous Court Administrator, representative and head of-staff of the central equity under the late previous Chief Justice Renato Corona.

Morever, Rep. Alfredo Garbin Jr. said Marquez’s SC arrangement “can be viewed as a gift on the grounds that the years have improved his all around profound abundance of involvement, viewpoints and development of law and law.

The recently named SC partner equity got his Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics in 1987 and his juris specialist degree in 1993 both from the Ateneo de Manila University. He turned into an individual from the Philippine Bar in 1994. He is an individual from the Utopia Fraternity.

He began his vocation in the SC in 1991 as a law assistant for quite a long time, including resigned Associate Justice Abraham Sarmiento, Senior Justice and previous Philippine Judicial Academy (PJA) Chancellor Ameurfina Melencio-Herrera and resigned Senior Justice Josue Bellosillo.

Morever, He filled in as SC’s representative during the term of the late boss equity Corona. He was named court director in 2010.
