President's Message

To All Esteemed Members of our Association,

I am profoundly honored and deeply humbled to have been elected as the new President of the Philippine Bar Association. It is a great personal privilege and a significant responsibility to lead this esteemed association in continuing its mission of advocating for a society based on justice, fairness and the rule of law.

As I assume this office, I am especially proud to acknowledge my kinship with two Past Presidents of our Association,  Arturo Del Rosario (1990) and Arturo “Johnny” Del Rosario Jr. (2008). Their leadership and legacy serve as an inspiration, and I pledge to uphold the values of integrity and fairness that have defined our Association for generations.

Communiqué

Justice and power must be brought together, so that whatever is just may be powerful, and whatever is powerful may be just.
