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opposed Marquez's bid for the magistrate spot over his alleged efforts to have a disbarment case against her withdrawn to obtain favor in the Supreme Court appointment.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.
