Katungkulan[baguhin | baguhin ang wikitext]

Ang kapangyarihan upang magtalaga ng Punong Mahistrado ay nakasalalay sa Pangulo, kung saan siya ay pipili sa talaan ng tatlong nominado na ginawa ng Judicial and Bar Council. Wala halos pinagkaiba ang proseso ng pagpili ng isang Punong Mahistrado mula sa pagpili ng mga Kasamang Mahistrado. Gaya rin ng ibang Mahistardo ng Kataas-taasang Hukuman, walang limitasyong ang termino ng Punong Hukom, maliban na lamang kapag umabot sa ika-70 ang gulang, ay sapilitang itong magreretiro.

^1 José Abad Santos was unable to preside over the Supreme Court due to the outbreak of World War II.

^2 Renato Corona was impeached on December 12, 2011, and convicted on May 29, 2012, removing him from office.

^3 Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio served as acting chief justice after the Impeachment of Renato Corona from May 30, 2012 to August 25, 2012^[1] and after the removal of Maria Lourdes Sereno via quo warranto proceedings from May 14, 2018 to August 25, 2018.

^4 Maria Lourdes Sereno was removed on May 11, 2018 via quo warranto by a special en banc session; the petition alleged Sereno's appointment was void ab initio due to her failure in complying with the requirements of the Judicial and Bar Council. Hence her entire term as chief justice is considered a de facto tenure;^[2] legally void since the ouster of her predecessor. Sereno filed an ad cautelam motion for reconsideration pleading for the reversal of the decision on May 31, 2018, but on June 19, 2018 was denied with finality (meaning no further pleading shall be entertained, as well as for the immediate entry for judgment) for lack of merit.^[3]

^5 As a result of Republic v. Sereno, Maria Lourdes Sereno is no longer considered the 24th chief justice of the Philippines, as the court ruled that her appointment was never legal but null and void ab initio. Thus, on August 25, 2018, Teresita de Castro was appointed by President Rodrigo Duterte as the new de jure and 24th chief justice of the Supreme Court of the Philippines.
