MANILA — President Rodrigo Duterte has appointed Jose Midas Marquez as Supreme Court Associate Justice, Malacañang said on Tuesday.

Currently serving as SC Court Administrator, Marquez will replace Justice Edgardo Delos Santos, said Executive Secretary Medialdea.

Delos Santos retired in June.

Marquez served as spokesman and Public Information Office chief under former Chief Justice Renato Corona, who was ousted in an impeachment trial at the Senate in 2012.

In 2018, President Rodrigo Duterte's daughter Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio opposed Marquez's bid for the magistrate spot over his alleged efforts to have a disbarment case against her withdrawn to obtain favor in the Supreme Court appointment.

Marquez will take his oath before Chief Justice Alexander Gesmundo at 3 p.m.

MANILA — Davao City Mayor Sebastian Duterte has accused President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr., of "pulling the country back into an abusive and excessive government." 

Mayor Duterte is the son of former President Rodrigo Duterte and brother of Vice President Sara Duterte who was impeached by the House of Representatives.

The father and son attended the proclamation rally of senatorial aspirants under the Partido Demokratiko Pilipino (PDP) Laban at the Club Filipino in Greenhills, San Juan City, on Thursday.

“Higit apat na dekada ang nakaraan, nabuo at nanindigan ang PDP Laban upang tutulan ang mapang-abusong rehimeng Ferdinand Marcos, Sr. Ngayon, ang buhay at kinabukasan ng mga Pilipino ay nalalagay na naman sa alanganin. Habang nagsusumikap tayong humakbang patungo sa isang maunlad na bukas ay pilit naman tayong hinihila pabalik ng administrasyon ni Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. sa isang mapang-abuso at mapagmalabis na pamahalaan,” Duterte said in his speech.

“Minsan na nating naipakita at napatunayan na kaya nating ayusin ang sistema ng ating pamahalaan sa pamumuno ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte,” Mayor Duterte said. “Pinatunayan natin na kaya nating magsilbi sa bayan na may disiplina sa sarili, walang kalabisan at walang pang-aabuso lalo na sa pera ng taumbayan. Huwag sayangin ang mandato na ibinigay sa atin ng ating mga kababayan.”

“Huwag nating sayangin ang mga buhay na itinaya ng ating mga kapwa Pilipino lalo na ng mga pulis at sundalo para lamang maipaglaban ang kapayapaan at kalaayan ng bansa,” he added.

The local chief executive said that they will continue to fight as true members of the party and will not back down for the sake of peace.

Mayor Duterte did not mention anything about the impeachment of his sister.

The former president was also mum about it.
