Muslims seek Supreme
Court representation |
|
Party-list Rep. Hataman notes that no Muslim has
been appointed to the High Court since Cory’s time |
|
By Jomar Canlas, Reporter
MUSLIM lawmakers are now asking
seeking their representation in the Supreme Court (SC) by asking the
Judicial and Bar Council (JBC) and President Arroyo to recommend and
appoint a Muslim Associate Justice in one of the six vacancies
before the high court this year.
In a press conference, Anak
Mindanao Party-list Rep. Mujiv Hataman said that there has been no
Muslim appointed to the high court for the past 22 years. The first
time and only time that a Muslim became a Justice of the Supreme
Court was during the administration of then President Aquino when
she appointed Supreme Court Justice Abdulwahid Bidin. No Muslim has
since followed Bidin.
