Whenever I felt down during my review, this was what i would always watch...Truly, Justice Leonen is one of a kind! Super saludo po sa inyo JL!

[@travellingservant3269]

Justice Leonen retained his ideals. The conviction in his words show that he has stood with his principles ever since. Apparently , he was never consumed by the system.

[@scnini95]

Judge Leonen really touches the core of the new millennium of lawyers and students alike. I like it that he is so light-hearted whenever he deals with his colleagues and subordinates. he's like a cool father that we all need to go through the Bar successfully. I can also feel humility emanating from him. I hope to be someone like him, too, in the future. the present may be dark and vague yet but I know small steps hopefully will also get me there. thank you for inspiring us, Judge Leonen!

Very Great! I’m speechless. Deep in my mind and heart felt the meaning of Justice Leonen’s speech. DEMOCRACY and SOCIAL JUSTICE in its real and true application must be carried without FEAR

The Hon. Justices must be the defenders of the Indigenous Peoples suffering injustices in this country! God bless the Justices of the Supreme Court.

That’s my Bar Chair!

[@antonior.mandal3135]

Madami akong kilalang mga lawyers na pineperahannlang mga kliyente. Angbmas masahol pa, magkakutsaba sila. Kawawa mga humihingi ng tulong but in the end, wala kang maasahan sa kanila. Paglapit mo, down payt muna tapos hintay ka ng 5 yrs at kung sinwerte ka, good for you. Mas malamang, uuwe ka ng nganga at nasaid ang ipon mo.

[@Cocochanel1190]

edi kung ganyan mag lodge ka ng complaint against that lawyer. Wag mo e generalize ang lahat ng mga abogado.

[@nellyymessy]

i want to be like u 😭

[@nellyymessy]

🤍🌅

[@joseaguila1266]

Kumusta na ang Mandamus Petition ng TNTrio?, Bakit pinatulog nyo jan sa SC? Anong ginawa mo para mapagulong ang hustisya Justice Leonen?
