Ex-Supreme Court justice Mendoza returns to JBC
President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. has reappointed retired Supreme Court Associate Justice Jose Mendoza to the Judicial and Bar Council (JBC).
Mendoza will represent retired Supreme Court justices in the JBC until July 9, 2029.
His ad interim appointment was initially deferred by the Commission on Appointments earlier this month.
Senators Imee Marcos and Rodante Marcoleta questioned Mendoza's responses regarding the inclusion of then-Justice Secretary Boying Remulla in the JBC's Ombudsman shortlist, despite Remulla having pending cases.
Senator Marcos stated she could not support Mendoza's appointment due to a lack of clarification and adequate answers.
Mendoza previously served in the JBC from 2017 to 2021, having been appointed by former President Rodrigo Duterte.
