Chief Justice Ma. Lourdes Sereno on Wednesday rallied the 949 Bar exam passers and new lawyers to participate in a "counter-cultural revolution" to change the public's negative perception of law practitioners.
"The Filipino public feeds on sad, angry jokes about corrupt, overbearing lawyers," Sereno said in a speech during the oath-taking ceremony of new lawyers at the Philippine International Convention Center.
"In large part, we have been characterized as selfish, untruthful, and arrogant, as carrying ourselves with a false sense of entitlement... This public perception must stop," she added
"It is no small matter if each one of you will say in your heart, 'I will not be corrupt and I will not allow anyone to corrupt me," Sereno further said.
