Senior Associate Justice Estela M. Perlas-Bernabe exhorts her fellow Supreme Court magistrates, Court officials, and SC employees to “continue the good work amidst adversity,” “strive for excellence,” and not settle for mediocrity as she bids farewell to the SC community during her last flag-raising ceremony this morning, May 2, 2022.
She says: “When I recount the past 11 years and recall the many events that transpired and had shaken the Judiciary, from challenges to leadership, to big catastrophic natural calamities, to the assault on the lives of judges, I can only say that it was your collective courage and resilience that kept the Court’s stability.”
Senior Associate Justice Bernabe will be retiring mandatorily on her 70th birthday on May 14, 2022. “I will leave this Court with joy, gratitude, and fulfillment,” she says. (Courtesy of the SC-Public Information Office)
