/ 05:36 PM August 03, 2018

The Judicial and Bar Council (JBC) has opened the nomination for Associate Justice of the Supreme Court replacing newly-appointed Ombudsman Samuel Martires.

Martires has filed for an early retirement which was already granted by the high court’s en banc after he was chosen by President Rodrigo Duterte to replace Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales whose term ended last July 26.

The JBC, in its announcement, said applications or recommendations with a letter of acceptance and other documentary requirements must be submitted on or before September 3, 2018.
