President Aquino administers the oath of office of Lourdes Sereno as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
MANILA, Philippines - The newly appointed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court took her oath of office before President Aquino in Malacanang on Saturday morning.
Maria Lourdes Punzalan Aranal-Sereno was accompanied by her husband and two children during the ceremony shortly before 10 a.m.
Aquino appointed Sereno as the 24th Chief Justice of the Supreme Court on Friday afternoon.
"The President is confident that Chief Justice Sereno will lead the judiciary in undertaking much-needed reforms. We believe the Judicial Branch of government has a historic opportunity to restore our people's confidence in the judicial system," read a statement from Malacanan issued Friday.
The 52 year old is also the first female Chief Justice in the Philippines. She can stay at her post until she reaches the retirement age of 70, making her 18-year term as Chief Justice the second longest in the country's history.
Sereno is the first appointee of President Aquino to the SC in 2010, filling in the lone vacancy in the SC created by the appointment of Associate Justice Renato Corona as Chief Justice.
