马科斯任命萨拉梅达为菲律宾第28任首席大法官：接替11月6日退休的格斯蒙多
马尼拉——菲律宾总统 Ferdinand Marcos Jr. 已选定最高法院大法官 Rodil Zalameda 为该国下一任首席大法官。总统通讯办公室秘书 Lino Cayetano 11月5日在总统府记者会上宣布了这一决定。现任首席大法官 Alexander Gesmundo 将于11月6日年满70岁、按强制退休年龄退休。
Zalameda 现年63岁，将成为菲律宾第28任首席大法官，也是马科斯任内任命的首位首席大法官。他于2019年8月6日由时任总统杜特尔特任命进入最高法院，此前在司法系统工作三十多年，历任初审法院书记员、检察官、曼达卢永市检察官与上诉法院法官。按70岁强制退休年龄计算，他可以领导菲律宾司法系统到2033年8月。
Zalameda 是司法与律师委员会提交的五人候选名单中的一员，同名单的还有资深大法官 Marvic Leonen 与大法官 Alfredo Benjamin Caguioa、Japar Dimaampao、Jose Midas Marquez。他主笔的判词包括最高法院今年6月10日的一项裁决：推翻反贪法院2018年的判决、宣告前第一夫人伊梅尔达·马科斯七项贪污罪名不成立。
Gesmundo 2021年出任首席大法官，是菲律宾第27任首席大法官。马科斯接下来还要填补大法官 Amy Lazaro-Javier 11月16日退休留下的空缺。
Marcos Names Zalameda as the Philippines' 28th Chief Justice
Manila — Philippine President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. has chosen Supreme Court Associate Justice Rodil V. Zalameda as the country's next chief justice, the Presidential Communications Office (PCO) announced on November 5. PCO Secretary Lino Cayetano made the announcement at a Palace press briefing, a day before Chief Justice Alexander G. Gesmundo reaches the mandatory retirement age of 70 on November 6.
Zalameda, 63, will be the Philippines' 28th chief justice and the first appointed by Marcos. He joined the Supreme Court on August 6, 2019, under then-President Rodrigo Duterte, after a career of more than three decades that began with work as a trial court clerk and prosecutor, followed by service as city prosecutor of Mandaluyong and as a Court of Appeals justice. He can lead the judiciary until he reaches the mandatory retirement age in August 2033.
Zalameda was selected from a five-name shortlist submitted by the Judicial and Bar Council that also included Senior Associate Justice Marvic Leonen and Associate Justices Alfredo Benjamin Caguioa, Japar Dimaampao and Jose Midas Marquez. Among the decisions he has written is the Supreme Court's June 10, 2026 ruling acquitting former first lady Imelda Marcos of seven graft counts, overturning her 2018 conviction by the Sandiganbayan anti-graft court.
Gesmundo, who became chief justice in 2021, is the court's 27th chief justice. Marcos must also fill the vacancy that will be created by the retirement of Associate Justice Amy C. Lazaro-Javier on November 16.
