RE : 2005 CHIEF JUSTICE DAVIDE AWARDS;

RECOMMENDATION IN FAVOR OF RTC JUDGE

RAUL B. VILLANUEVA, OF RTC LAS PINAS CITY




MABUHAY:


In my capacity as the Chairman of the LAS PINAS CITY BAR ASSOCIATION (LPBA), INC. and as the Vice President of the INTEGRATED BAR OF THE PHILIPPINES (IBP) – Pasay Paranaque Las Pinas Muntinlupa (PPLM) Chapter, I have the honor to support and favorably endorse the pending nomination of Las Pinas City RTC Judge RAUL B. VILLANUEVA (Branch 255) as an Outstanding RTC Judge under the prestigious 2005 CHIEF JUSTICE DAVIDE AWARDS. (A copy of his resume is attached).

The Bar recognizes the dedication to duty, the hardworking and industrious performance, the integrity and honesty, the competence and professionalism, and the zeal and moral courage of Judge Villanueva, who, we understand, is one of the youngest RTC judges in the Philippines.

His youthfulness and idealism and his strong sense of duty as a serious, industrious and honest dispenser, administrator, promoter and defender of the Justice System must be duly recognized by the Supreme Court, as we in the Bar so recognize and commend.

Thanks and God bless.




Sincerely,




MANUEL J. LASERNA JR.

Chairman, LPBA, 2005-2006

VP, IBP PPLM Chapter, 2005-2007

Professor of Law, FEU Inst. of Law
