The Supreme Court (SC) has reprimanded former Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno for discussing the merits of the quo warranto case in public while it was still pending in the tribunal.
It also admonished Sereno for her attacks against some of her former colleagues at the high court.
During聽Tuesday鈥檚聽en banc, the SC warned Sereno against repeating those acts or the court would deal with her more severely.
Part of the聽May 11聽ruling that granted the quo warranto petition and ousted Sereno from office was the SC鈥檚 issuance of a show cause order against her for discussing the case in public.
The high court noted that the former top magistrate violated the subjudice rule and 鈥渃ast aspersions and ill motives鈥� on some members of the high court. /kga
