President Benigno Simeon "Noynoy" Aquino III on Monday administered the oath of lawyer-academician Maria Lourdes Aranal Sereno as the 169th Associate Justice of the Supreme Court (SC).

Sereno is the first appointee of President Aquino to the Judiciary.

Her appointment to the SC completes the 15-member High Tribunal.

Sereno fills in the vacancy in the Judiciary with the assumption of now Chief Justice Renato Corona to the top post in the highest court of the land last May 17 with the retirement of then Chief Justice Reynato Puno.

She first saw the light on July 2, 1960.

At 50 years old, Sereno is now considered as the youngest to be appointed to the Judiciary in the 21st century.

She will also be one of the longest-serving justices so far as she is set to mandatorily retire after a 20-year term in 2030.

"I will serve my fellow Filipinos with integrity and conviction, holding myself to the ideal of justice that refutes the abuse of strength and instead labors to succor the weak...; justice that may serve as one of the several foundations for rebuilding institutions and restoring the people's faith in good government," Sereno said in her first official statement issued on Monday.

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
