Isa sa pinakamatalino pero istriktong Justice.

He's the best man for the job of CJ but the psychopath president would not pick him because Leonen would never tolerate all the injustice being committed by Malacanang

[@yewtan1971]

If that is the case, why didn't Aquino picked him as Chief Justice, instead of installing a featherbrained, green horned, clubhouse lawyer?

[@milhouse14]

Yew Tan Because he was not yet in the Supreme Court when Corona was ousted. Try being INFORMED instead of just opinionated.
