The Judicial and Bar Council (JBC) declined to release the results of the psychiatric test that Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno took when she was named chief justice in 2012.

Gadon asked the JBC for the result of the test in connection with the impeachment complaint he had filed against the Chief Justice.
