What happened
Jose Marquez was nominated by Retired Supreme Court Associate Justice Arturo D. Brion and the Association of Retired Regional Trial Court Judges of the Philippines to consider a judicial role in the Philippines. Marquez outlined a five-year judicial reform plan focused on restructuring court staffing and standardizing employee benefits and compensation across the judiciary.

Why it matters
The proposed reforms aim to revitalize the judicial branch by treating court officials as a primary asset. Implementing salary and benefit rationalization and leveraging legislative frameworks, such as the Judiciary Fiscal Autonomy Act, would require significant budget management and legislative action.
Marcos plans to appoint the next Supreme Court justice, following the Judicial and Bar Council shortlisting candidates in Manila.
