KINDLY REPOST. Thank you. Forty-three-year-old DEFENSOR SANTIAGO had won laurels as a student and excelled as a legal scholar. In 1983 she had become the youngest presiding judge in the Regional Trial Court of Quezon City. Known as the Fighting Judge, she handled a record fifty cases a month by refusing to tolerate delays and postponements. Resisting pressure from high officials and the military, she gained a reputation for strict impartiality in applying the law. Setting the example personally, she insisted that the employees be efficient, competent, and honest. No bribes or extortion was the first rule of her courtroom. As commissioner of Immigration and Deportation, DEFENSOR SANTIAGO set out to show that a traditionally corrupt government agency can be reformed. rmaf.org.ph/newrmaf/main/awardees/awardee/profile/177
