MANILA, Philippines – Matapos halos apat na taon sa Korte Suprema, nag-iwan na ng marka si Associate Justice Maria Filomena Singh sa pamamagitan ng kanyang adbokasiya para sa gender equality at access to justice.

Bilang co-chairperson ng komite sa gender responsiveness sa hudikatura, hinahamon niya ang disparity sa mga appointment sa gobyerno sa pagitan ng lalaki at babae. "Dapat pantay ang pagkakataon," ani Singh ayon sa kanyang panayam sa Rappler justice reporter Jairo Bolledo.

Spearheading din niya ang paglikha ng manual at protocol para sa mga kababaihang nasasakdal o "women in conflict with the law." Ito ay isang step-by-step guide para sa buong criminal justice sector—from law enforcers, prosecutors, public attorneys, judges, court personnel, hanggang jail administrators at community reintegration—upang tugunan ang unique needs ng mga babaeng deprived of liberty.

Kamakailan, ibinahagi niya ang kanyang laban kontra kanser. "Get up again and fight another day,” wika niya sa Rappler Talk, na nagpapahayag ng kanyang determinasyon.

Ang espesyal na episode na ito ay pinapalabas noong March 27 ng 6 p.m., kung saan tinalakay niya ang personal na hamon at legal reforms para sa gender equality sa gobyerno.
