The decision to remove the chief justice of the Philippines

The decision to remove the country's first woman chief justice Maria Ladès Sereno has been criticized by Philippine President Rodrigo Dutte. In view of the government's plea, the Supreme Court judges took the decision to remove it by 8-6. The government made an appeal to the Supreme Court, accusing Serreno of violating the recruitment process.

The opposition has termed the decision to remove the chief justice, as opposed to the "death of democracy". Opposition says the government is trying to remove Sereno by abusing power and the highest court has turned into the puppet of his hand.

Chief Justice Sereno had publicly criticized President Dutter and voted against some controversial proposals of the government.

Theodore T, a Supreme Court spokesman, said that disqualification has proved to be the chief justice of Serrano. At the same time he kept those terms unlawfully. He also said that Serrano has been asked to explain reasons why the allegation of violation of the judicial law will not be brought against the court by the head of the court. The Judiciary and Bar Council have also been ordered to start the new judicial recruitment process in the vacant post.

Sereno's spokesman said he would appeal against the decision to remove the claim that he did not do anything illegal. In this interview on television, he describes this day as a sad day. Before the vote on Friday, several supporters of Serno have protested at the Supreme Court in the capital city of Manila. They withdrew the government's plea and demanded the investigation in the Senate. At that time, the opponents of Sereno also stayed outside the building.

Richard Javed Hydariyan, a political analyst in the country, said that the appointment of former President Aquino was decided because of the decision to remove Serena in this
