Sandigan judge is new SC court administrator
The Supreme Court (SC) en banc has designated Sandiganbayan Associate Justice Ma. Theresa Dolores Gomez-Estoesta as the new court administrator, effective Sept. 1. She replaces former Court Administrator Raul Villanueva, who is now an associate justice of the Supreme Court.
The Office of the Court Administrator is tasked to help the high tribunal in overseeing all courts nationwide.
Gomez-Estoesta brings in more than three decades of government service, which started in 1991 when she became a solicitor at the Office of the Solicitor General.
In 2002, she joined the judiciary as a presiding judge at the Manila Metropolitan Trial Court before she was promoted in 2006 as Manila Regional Trial Court presiding judge. She earned her law degree from Ateneo de Manila University and passed the bar in 1991.
