DISSENTING OPINION
[I am posting here a digest of the
rather lengthy Dissenting Opinion of Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno in A.M.
No. 10-7-17-SC promulgated last October 12, 2010. Taken together with her subsequent Dissenting Opinion from the Per Curiam Resolution promulgated on February 8, 2011, this opinion will
enable you, dear readers, to compare the reasoning of the majority and the
minority in this administrative matter. It is hoped that in being able to do so, you will
get a glimpse of how the gods at Padre Faura can sometimes use sophism to
justify a pre-ordained result in a controversy.
