MANILA- Chief Justice on leave Maria Lourdes Sereno on Tuesday said she is not interested in seeking a Senate seat.
“Wala pa ho akong mga planong ganoon,” the top magistrate told reporters after the "Women on Fire" forum at Adamson University.
(I don't have those kinds of plans.)
Sereno meanwhile said she is mulling over going back to work at the Supreme Court.

"Ako po ay naninilbihan lamang sa taumbayan. Nakikinig po ako at pinag-iisipan ko po ito," she told reporters.
(I am only serving the public. I am listening and thinking about it.)
The embattled top magistrate, who is facing ouster moves, has been on indefinite leave from her duties at the high court since March 1 to prepare for a possible impeachment trial.
Apart from an impeachment case at the House of Representatives, she is also facing a separate ouster plea at the Supreme Court, initiated by Solicitor General Jose Calida.
Magistrates of the Supreme Court are set to vote on the ouster plea on May 11, a well-placed ABS-CBN News source bared.
