Sereno ‘schemes’ to block Solgen’s bid for SC seat

CHIEF Justice Maria Lourdes Aranal-Sereno is throwing the gauntlet at Solicitor General Francis Jardeleza in favor of her preferred candidate—Commission on Audit Chairman Grace Pulido-Tan—for a vacant post in the Supreme Court (SC), according to an unimpeachable source of The Manila Times.

Sereno’s latest “scheme” to ‘weaken” Jardeleza’s chances, according to the source, involves requiring the Solicitor General to answer administrative charges raised against him when he was Deputy Ombudsman for Luzon a few years back.
