CJ to step down if found guilty

CHIEF Justice Ma. Lourdes Sereno on Wednesday reiterated her call to the House of Representatives to transmit the impeachment case against her for trial in the Senate, saying she was willing to step down if convicted.

At the same time, Sereno questioned the separate actions of Solicitor General Jose Calida to unseat hear by filing a quo warranto plea questioning her qualifications before the high court, saying it was tantamount to “dictatorship” and a threat not only to the Supreme Court but all government employees.
