REP. Roilo Golez (Ind., Para�aque) will file a resolution that would
seek to remove from the President the power to appoint members of the
judiciary to insulate them, he said, from "presidential and political
interference."

Golez, spokesman for the minority bloc, proposed that the power to
appoint be transferred to the Supreme Court en banc.

"This will make the SC and the rest of the Judiciary self-perpetuating
and truly independent... The process, being en banc, will be collegial
and balanced, not dictated by a single person," he said.

The Constitution states: "The Members of the Supreme Court and judges
of the lower courts shall be appointed by the President from a list of
at least three nominees prepared by the Judicial and Bar Council for
every vacancy. Such appointments need no confirmation."

Representative Golez apparently either has a different interpretation
of Article 8, Section 9 of the 1987 constitution than I or, possibly,
he may believe that the legislature is not constrained to follow the
constitution.- Hide quoted text -
