BUMALIKTAD NA! Korte Suprema Di na Susunod sa Gusto ng Palasyo, Mga KASABWAT Haharap na sa Korte!

Chief Justice Alexander Gesmundo canceled his scheduled trip to The Hague, Netherlands, to sign the terms of reference with The Hague Academy of International Law, Supreme Court spokesperson Camille Ting said in a statement over the weekend.

Responding to social media posts and media queries, Ting said a special order was issued on March 10 designating Senior Associate Justice Marvic Leonen as acting chief justice effective March 12.

The order was issued in anticipation of Gesmundo’s official trip to the Netherlands for the signing of the terms of reference with The Hague Academy of International Law, a global institution dedicated to research and education in both public and private international law.
