President Arroyo has appointed Geraldez, 53, to fill up the slot vacated by Justice Nicodemo Ferrer who retired in late 2002. He will join Justices Gregory Ong and Rodolfo Palattao in the anti-graft court’s fourth division.
The Sandiganbayan – which has five divisions with three justices each – still has four vacancies. — Delon Porcalla
