MANILA -- The Supreme Court (SC) on Monday announced that the Judicial and Bar Council (JBC) is now accepting applicants for the position of SC Associate Justice and Court of Appeals (CA) Presiding Justice.

The vacancy in the SC will come with the pending compulsory retirement of SC Justice Andres B. Reyes Jr. on May 11.

The CA vacancy, on the other hand, is the vacancy following Presiding Justice Romeo R. Barza's compulsory retirement last August 2.

President Rodrigo Duterte has made 13 appointments to the SC. Two of them have already retired -- Associate Justices Samuel Martirez, and Noel Tijam -- while two others will reach mandatory retirement this year -- Andres Reyes in May, and Jose Reyes Jr. in September.

Interested applicants to the posts may visit the official JBC website www.jbc.judiciary.gov.ph and access the Online Application Scheduler for the guidelines, documentary requirements, and other pertinent details. (PNA
