[edit] My Profile

The name of this writer is Florentino V. Floro, Jr. Born in Manila on November 5, 1953, he hails from Calvario, Meycauayan City, Bulacan. The name of Meycauayan came from the Tagalog may kawayan (lit. "a place full of bamboos") alluding to the presence of large bamboo groves in the town. It was founded in 1578 by the Franciscan Catholic missionaries. Floro lived in Bulacan province where the historic Barasoain Church is located and produced notable Filipinos:

Florentino V. Floro is of Filipino and Chinese ancestry.

He is currently a citizen of the Republic of the Philippines.

The eldest of five brothers of (both deceased) Florentino C. Floro and Milagros Velasquez, in his youth, Floro was an accomplished student, graduating with honors in both elementary and high school levels. Florentino floro graduated elementary (1965) from St. Mary's College of Meycauayan, high school (1969) from St. Vincent's Seminary, Karuhatan, Valenzuela City, and college, Bachelor of Arts, pre-divinity and philosophy, from the Ateneo de Manila University. He earned the degree of Bachelor of Laws (1982) at the Ateneo School of Law, with FULL SECOND HONORS. He made the 10 years unbroken record of 91% in criminal law review under Dean Antonio L. Gregorio. He placed 12th in the 1983 Philippine Bar Examination, with a bar rating of 87.55% in one of the hardest examination, where only 21.3% passed.

On his natal day November 5, 1997, his gabays or spirit guides, the 3 angels or dwarves ordered him to cleanse the Philippine judiciary, by applying with the Judicial and Bar Council for the position of RTC Judge. He was duly appointed RTC, NCJR Judge of Br. 73, Malabon City, the northern section of Manila, on November 4/5, 1998, his birthday, at the age of 45, as the youngest RTC NCJR Judge. Barely 6 months from his inagural session on January 5, 1999, he was INDEFINITELY suspended on July 20, 1999 (the longest judicial suspension in world history, until the day he) was separated on April 6, 20007, fined 40,000 pesos (US$775), but paid 3 years backwages by the Supreme Court of the Philippines. The three-year investigation found that he’d claimed he could see into the future and admitted that he consulted privately with mystical magic dwarfs. He argued that his personal beliefs were being questioned. He told investigators that the invisible dwarfs – Armand, Luis and Angel – helped him carry out “healing sessions” during breaks in his chambers.

Florentino floro, the dwarf judge lost his final appeal (August 11, 2006) to keep his job, with the Supreme Court's 75-page ruling stating that Florentino's "dalliance" with Luis, Armand and Angel showed he had a "medically disabling condition of the mind" that rendered him "unfit to discharge the functions of his office" which in turn could "erode the public's esteem of the judiciary" and make it an "object of ridicule." What caused the Supreme Court most concern, and who can blame them, was Judge Floro’s belief that he enjoyed qualities lacked by other members of the judiciary. Judge Floro is not the first judge to have an inflated opinion of his own abilities, but there are not many who have claimed special powers as “the No 5 psychic in the country”. (The Supreme Court judgment unfortunately provides no information on whether the top four also have legal qualifications and, if so, what marks they obtained in the Bar exams.) In a variation of dress-down Fridays, Judge Floro changed from blue court robes to black each Friday “to recharge his psychic powers”. He was, he suggested, the angel of death and able to inflict pain and sickness on people appearing in his court (a valuable but perhaps disproportionate sanction in dealing with vexatious litigants). Florentino floro believed that he could write while in a trance, and he had, he insisted, “been seen by several people to have been in two places at the same time”, a very useful attribute in reducing the waiting lists for pending cases. Most impressive of all, Judge Floro had made a covenant with “three dwarf friends named Luis, Armand and Angel”, who would, unseen by others, provide him with assistance in court (presumably when counsel were unable to provide a page reference in the bundles of evidence).

Very generously in the circumstances, the Supreme Court emphasised that it was not ruling that Judge Floro was insane. He was merely suffering from a psychosis that appeared to “cloud his judgment” and so undermined his competence and objectivity. Justice Minita Chico-Nazario concluded that psychic phenomena, “even assuming such exist” (a wise judge never decides more than is necessary to dispose of the case), have no place in jurisprudence. Though it would, I suppose, be helpful to be able accurately to predict how the Supreme Court would deal with a case, and so avoid the expense and delay of waiting for their decisions. On December 5, 2006 Florentino floro was awarded "Judge of the Year" by The Times - "A chilli-hot year for whiny garbage, David Pannick, QC, presides over the memorable legal appearances of 2006"

Floro's interests are horse riding, hiking, travel, seeing movies, and his favorites are Superman, James Bond, Artificial Intelligence and The Count of Monte Cristo. His favorite music is Impossible Dream, Ave Maria, Candle in the Wind, and Lion King. His favorite Books are Le Petit Prince by Antoine de St Exupery and The Life of St. Therese of Lisieux.

This writer also contributes to the Wikipedia and expresses his views in his blog ANGEL OF DEATH, LUIS ARMAND and ANGEL, and in his Philippine Television 27 documentaries uploaded on YouTube Judge Floro on YouTube. He is a practicing Roman Catholic; a mild environmentalist; and a strong advocate of healthy living.

[edit] Contributions to Wikipedia

Floro has an eclectic range of interests, but is primarily concerned with editing and creating well-written pages relating to my own country, specifically, concerning Law, the Philippine Judiciary and Filipino people. Contributing in Wikipedia since 2007 gave him a sense of fulfillment as he was able to share to others what he knew. He hopes to expound more on articles related to Law. Florentino V. Floro is well-versed in subjects relating to Philippine politics, Law, media, society, popular culture, and entertainment.
