Abstract/Summary

The recent controversy involving the appointment of Justice Mariano Del Castillo caused another public uproar which in effect affected the current governments' integrity yet again. The provision in the Constitution which was primarily created to guarantee that the process of selecting members of the judiciary truly was an innovation, however, the researchers find that ambiguities present in the process caused the issues that transpired.

Considering the questions raised, the researchers however focused on the Philippine process of appointing Justices in the Supreme Court and relating it to the United States appointment process. This study aims to prove that by pointing out the ambiguities in the appointment process, a more effective process is available.
