From the Bench: Chief Justice Reynato S. Puno
 

One hundred seven years after the Judiciary was founded, our people continue to cry out for justice in its various forms. Those whose loved ones have been killed or who have been abducted demand that those responsible be held accountable for their crimes. Society’s vulnerable sectors, such as women and children, ask that measures be undertaken to protect them and guarantee them their rights. Those who live at the margins of society seek social justice, and cry out for the basic needs many of us take for granted: food, shelter, education, and livelihood. > MORE
