Justice is a lady

. . . is the topic of my latest Trade Tripper column in this Friday-Saturday issue of BusinessWorld. Excerpt:

"Today, the Supreme Court will confer upon Justice Herrera the title 'Founding Chancellor Emeritus' of PHILJA, as well as the Right Honorable Telford Georges’ Award from the CJEI. It’s truly the least that can be awarded upon so admirable and inspirational a lawyer and Filipina. In our presently less than ideal society, where men are failing to be men and women have turned their back on being ladies, Justice Ameurfina A. Melencio Herrera has shown us how real success is achieved: through integrity, consistency, intelligence, and — yes — grace."
