The leadership headed by Atty. Bienvenido I. Somera, Jr. aims to insti-tutionalize developmental legal aid and to ensure wider involvement of

the Chapter in the community. This issue seeks to allow members of the Chapter to get to know their leaders a little bit more deeply and inti-

mately, and to learn how each intends to contribute to the overall ac-complishment of the goals of the organization.

Toward the end, what the Chapter wants to achieve in the next two years is further laid down in an article that discusses the results of the

traditional planning conference recently undertaken in Baguio City.

RESID

ENT

This is Gbert L. Zerrudo from the rare perspective of

a total stranger- unfamiliar with Gbert’s intimate

personal details, undoubtedly amazed by Gbert’s

Google hits, and yet as objective a third party docu-

mentary that will ever be attempted thus far.

As ambitious as this write-up may attempt to size up

or “humanize” Mr. Zerrudo, I am sure shaking hands

with Gbert “the man, the (legal) legend, the frustrat-

ed superhero (Silver Surfer is his favorite)” Zerrudo

in real life will prove to be far more interesting.

When one meets Gil Roberto L. Zerrudo, one is im-

mediately smitten by (and in no particular order) his

vastly impressive resume, his manly swagger, his old

school yet "one direction" profile, his towering ide-

als. Reading his voluminous CV, Gbert certainly is

that head-spinning mouthful of accomplishments; so

much so, that conventional word combos will scarce-

ly do what he's done for the field and the profession-

past, present, (and goodness! the future) the justice

(no pun intended) and the thundering applause he

deserves.

As next in line to the standard bearer of the Integrat-

ed Bar of the Philippines or “IBP” (Makati Chapter,

no less) and the benchmark for legal practitioners

everywhere (and what a standard he makes and cre-

ates!), Gbert channels the same dynamic energy he

represents amongst his peers in a vast network of

savvy colleagues (from the IBP, revered mentors

(from the AdMU Law School), and other equally

radical thinkers (from both Chambers of Commerce).

An exceedingly well-respected authority of his prac-

tice, Gbert is most certainly that Hall-of-Fame figure

that the community rightfully mounts on a pedestal

of erudition, credibility, and authority.

More than a figure of direction, what makes him

THAT “leader of relevance” of those youthful, ener-

getic, aggressive intellectuals at the IBP is he por-

trays the essence of moral leadership and conscience.

Gbert believes not just in the lawyer’s excellence of

craft but also in his embracing of essential personal

values, mutual respect and the fair and genuine col-

laboration amongst his peers. Quick to admit his own

frailty as a responsible leader and a moral example,

Gbert nevertheless envisions the thrust of a

“relevance and thought leadership” in the Makati

Chapter and legal and business community.

“Lost then but found now” are the most surprisingly

striking words you will ever get to hear from one as

esteemed as Gbert; but they only seek to reflect the

type of man Gbert really is behind all the hype and

drama of his profession. Underneath all the trappings

of social sophistication and the erudition of lawyer-

ing philosophy, is a reflective man immersed in the

calmness of faith, the devotion of family and the en-

joyment of life’s (oftentimes) guilty but simple pleas-

ures. In the present day cornucopia of pop culturing

and social media brain blitzing (washing?), little did

we realize that an individual can find his course and

hold his own, and still be grounded by his own per-

sonal epiphanies and conservative values.

When a beauty pageant contestant delivers the phrase

“world peace” in her trite adage of an answer, the

audience would probably shake it off as a routinary

and scripted response. In a parallel universe, when

IBP Makati Secretary Anthony W. Dee told us that

World Peace is a cause he sincerely believed in, his

words gave the clichéd phrase a new significance.

Why not, coming from a man who has represented

numerous international corporations like Morgan

Stanley, Sumitomo Bakelite, Tyco, American Ex-

press, Citibank and the Asian Development Bank to

name a few, realization hit us that “world peace” was

after all not just a farfetched pageant answer (he also

told us that). However, Anton’s legal background

and credentials are far from a mere pageantry.

A pure blooded Atenean, Anton completed his Bach-

elor of Science Degree Major in Legal Management

and Minor in Japanese Studies at the Ateneo de Ma-

nila University. He obtained his Juris Doctor Degree

from the Ateneo College of Law in 1995 where he

graduated Second Honors. He was admitted to the

Philippine Bar in 1996.

He is a Partner in SyCip Salazar Hernandez & Gat-

maitan, having joined the Firm in 1996. He is cur-

rently a member of the firm’s litigation department.

He is also extensively involved in corporate rehabili-

tation and rescues and has considerable experience in

Trademark Infringement cases.

He has represented numerous clients in all court lev-

-els and has extensive experience in the practice are-

as of litigation and arbitration. He was involved in

the expropriation of parcels of land and rights of way

for the Quezon Power Project, and was part of the

team that handled the land issues in connection with

the North Luzon Expressway Project, which was

given the award “Asian Project Finance Deal of the

Year” in 2001 by the International Federal Law Re-

view.

Being an active member of IBP Makati in recent

years, Anton was not oblivious to the problems and

challenges hounding the chapter. One of the biggest

problems, he says, is keeping the value of honesty in

the legal profession. He also maintained the crucial

role of the Chapter in giving legal services to indi-

gents through its legal aid program.

He cited how the Chapter has evolved through the

years by keeping abreast with the developments in

the law and the demands of the legal profession. Ac-

cording to him, this is exemplified through various

projects of the Chapter like barangay mediations that

seek to de-clog court dockets given significant cases

filed by members of the same barangay, MCLE ses-

sions, dialogues with judges and participation in the

amendments of procedural rules and appointment of

judges.

Seeming like a busy man, and admittedly he is, An-

ton sees to it that he never loses time to share with

his family. To him, his family inspires him to suc-

ceed. Thus, asked what are the achievements he is

most proud of, and which would be the most signifi-

cant, he answered and quite unhesitantly “My family.

Everything else is secondary and insignificant”.

“What do lawyers learn in law school? They

learn to win… Instead, what we’ve got to start

thinking about is how we solve problems.”

- Benjamin Carson

Problem solvers are the enigma of the modern world,

where everyone is primed to (want to) become, a

winner. A winner, whose presence is coveted at eve-

ry table; who smells roses at the end of the day; and

who, above all, gets the credit. On the other hand,

problem solvers are a rapidly disappearing undera-

chieving and underappreciated lot. They work hard

but are rarely celebrated; they think out of the box

but their feet are always grounded; they do not have

the luxury of time but they get things done.

A Juris Doctor graduate of Ateneo De Manila Uni-

versity School of Law, Atty. Arnold “Jake” M. Cor-

poral is not only an exceptional legal practitioner but

is more importantly, a quintessential “problem solv-

er.”

As a partner of the prestigious Angara Abello Con-

cepcion & Regala Law Office, Jake is currently in-

volved with the Litigation and Dispute Resolution

Department of the said firm. Atty. Corporal’s exper-

tise covers, among others, Alternative Dispute Reso-

lution, Banking and Finance, Construction and Infra-

structure, Corporate Rehabilitation and Restructur-

ing, Insurance and Admiralty, Intra-Corporate Dis-

putes, Proxy Fights, Corporate take-overs and

Product Liability.

Mr. Corporal has handled actions initiated or defend-

ed by financial institutions involving recovery of

loans, mortgage indenture issues, foreclosure actions,

and securities registration and offering/sale. In the

field of telecommunications litigation, he has repre-

sented public telecommunications entities (network

operators, value-added service providers and content

providers) in actions before the National Telecom-

munications Commission and the regular courts. He

has also represented telecommunications entities in

litigation against other industry players on breach of

contract issues, service area issues, and network in-

tegrity issues. Jake has also actively represented

both creditor and debtor clients in insolvency and

corporate rehabilitation proceedings. Mr. Corporal

also represents domestic and foreign clients in com-

mercial arbitration before the Philippine Dispute

Resolution Center, Inc. (PDRCI), the Construction

Industry Arbitration Commission (CIAC), and the

International Chamber of Commerce’s (ICC) Interna-

tional Court of Arbitration (ICA). He has also ad-

vised clients that were involved in arbitration before

the International Center for the Settlement of Invest-

ment Disputes (ICSID).

With his years of valuable professional experience in

his fields of specialization, Jake has been deeply en-

gaged in solving his clients’ problems. Jake contin-

ued to better himself by learning the ways of his

craft, furthering proof of his insatiable desire to be-

come a better problem solver.

Jake’s commitment to hard work in his profession is

the ever recurring theme of his career as a lawyer,

eventually paving the way for his prestigious election

as Treasurer of the IBP Makati Chapter where his

designation has positioned him for more opportuni-

ties to fulfil his resolve to help clients in their hour of

need.

When not in his suave designer suits and neck deep

in arbitration, he is surprisingly a fun foodie, a movie

buff, a comedic story teller, a brand connoisseur, an

approachable ear, a loyal confidant.

In spite of Jake’s decorated career as a lawyer, it’s

his personal qualities that make him stand out – more

so, it’s his personal moments that make Jake warmly

memorable.

Ancient english would allude the name “Alfred” to a

wise magical counsel. True to its ancient meaning,

and to us living in the here and now, Alfred Ramon

Jose Nolasco’s superb representation and counselling

is much sought after.

Graduated from the venerable San Beda College of

Law, his calm and adept handling of litigation, cor-

porate and IP matters made him a chapter figure

overnight. A strong presence in the legal firmament,

he has been making his own mark combining his

legal skills together with his unparalleled tutelage

from one of the best and most experienced mind in

the profession--his father.

A prolific writer and an active student leader during

his law school days, he is most certainly a star among

the hosts of luminaries that would lead the Chapter to

new heights.

Grounded on the values of genuine service, his vision

is to reach out to the general membership and make

each one feel the benefits of being a chapter member.

He believes that this can be done through awareness

campaign.

A self-confessed marathon enthusiast, he regards

finishing his first marathon as a defining moment of

his life. He has his heart for the care of the elderly

and persons with disabilities--a cause he sincerely

believes in.

A towering sentinel dutiful to serve his chapter, his

sure and certain presence is an asset that will carry

forward the chapter to its visions.

RJ Nolasco specializes in litigation and intellectual property law.

He is also a member of the ASEAN Intellectual Property Associa-tion.

“There’s much more to life than being a lawyer” says

Juan Orendain Buted, elected Director of the IBP

Makati Chapter for the Term 2013-2015 and Co-

Managing Partner of Cortina & Buted Law Offices.

Juor says he would have had a career in creative

writing, music, and advertising – all in one – had he

not been a lawyer. His alter ego writes scripts, di-

rects music, and writes songs.

Juor, who heads the Committee on Fellowship, envi-

sions the Makati Chapter as a potent force in prevent-

ing conflicts or otherwise resolving them without any

court intervention. One of the problems Juor sees

lawyers face today, is the loss of creativity to identify

and describe the profession (“Justice”, “Democracy”,

“Rule of Law”, ho-hum). Likewise, he sees the pre-

sent concept of “legal aid”, that of merely represent-

ing impoverished litigants, though laudable, does not

fully utilize the profession to uplift society, as it, in

fact, even encourages resort to courts.

Juor wants lawyers to be relevant even to the one in

the street who is not at all involved in litigious mat-

ters. He intends to address these problems by using

legal expertise to educate and enlighten the commu-

nity through lectures and seminars, to alleviate pov-

erty through the formation of cooperatives and to

make available micro-financing schemes, and to

promote nationalism.

Passionate about empowerment or “teaching a man

to fish”, Juor believes that lawyers should be teach-

ers, that we should be able to assist in the preparation

and submission of documents to organize coopera-

tives, that we should promote a communal business

policy whenever possible and practical. He

sees the focus on the Lawyer as Filipino to

be a more interesting theme for future IBP

Conventions.

Just as British rock band Dire Straits disses

those who have “Money for nothin' and

chicks for free”, Juor believes in working

hard to reap success. “It's only in the dic-

tionary that success comes before work,” he

quotes. He believes that a good leader is a

humble servant who inspires from the

ranks. His role model is Bono of Irish rock

band U2 for the latter's use of his talent for genuine

service.

While he sees the efficient public servant, in addition

to the competent judge and his loved ones, as one of

the most important people in his life and profession,

he quickly retorts, “God, no!” when asked whether

he plans to run for public office.

Expect a good time with Juor, maybe get the man

(who is secure with his success) into scotch drinking.

He talks lightly about his achievements of having

quit smoking and having maintained twenty five

years of marriage. He shares that his life's defining

moment is his bearing a son and sees as his life's

biggest challenge is raising his sons. He laughs at

himself as he claims that his biggest failure is his not

having had the time to submit entries for the Palanca

or write a book (Well, it’s never too late, Juor).

Juor believes that the Chapter has evolved by becom-

ing more dynamic, less rigid, and more proactive as a

result of being more open to non-traditional projects,

engaging in novel undertakings, and involving young

lawyers in chapter activities. He ends the interview

by giving unsolicited advice to young members of

IBP Makati, “Be better than your predecessors”.

“By a Carpenter mankind was

made, and only by that Carpen-

ter can mankind be remade”

- Desiderius Erasmus

Born in Lingayen, Pangasinan on March 5, 1964,

Gregorio Gerry “Greg” Fernandez was raised by his

parents as a person who one day would change the

world and improve the society. It was his father who

taught him how to face the challenges of being a law-

yer. As a current partner of JG Law, Greg applies

the things he had learned from his father, from han-

dling cases to dealing with clients. For him no one is

more important in the legal profession than his cli-

ents.

He once aspired to become an engineer who one day

would build his own skyscraper. He is a builder who

serves. In fact, the first thing that you would see in

the trunk of his car is a building plan. The reason:

Greg’s passion and personal cause is to help people

get comfortable and acquire modest dwelling places.

Greg’s inspiration is his own mother who he de-

scribes as the “epitome of what a woman should be.”

Greg loves and respects the women in his life. As a

husband, he recognizes his wife as both his strength

and weakness. He would do everything to make his

wife happy.

As a Magna Cum Laude graduate of the University

of Santo Tomas, Greg makes use of the guiding prin-

ciples he learned from the University in his profes-

sional practice and in leading the IBP Makati Chap-

ter. For him, the IBP Makati Chapter stands for the

significance of the rule of law tempered by a keen

sense of Christian morality.

As a proud teacher, Greg is gratified when he sees

his students believe in him. He aspires that every

member of the IBP Makati Chapter should be known

and recognized. For the younger members of the IBP

Makati Chapter, Greg has only a few words to say:

“Be recognized and make your presence felt.”

Greg, Director of the IBP Makati Chapter is a servant

-leader who abides by his own rules in tandem with

his subjects. You could only expect great things from

him, who is here to “rebuild” the IBP Makati Chapter

for the better and to make the chapter a potent force

every sector of the society will have to contend with.

Roderick R.C. Salazar III, a University of the Philip-

pines Economics and Law alumnus, is a mining, en-

vironment and corporate lawyer with twenty five

years of experience.

He acted as counsel to the developer of the first for-

eign-funded mining project since the enactment of

the Philippine Mining Act of 1995 - from its explora-

tion and project financing to its development and

operating stages. His Firm, Fortun Narvasa & Sala-

zar, of which he is Co-Managing Partner, was instru-

mental in the Philippine Supreme Court decision

upholding the right of foreign mining companies to

wholly own large-scale mining projects in the coun-

try through Financial and Technical Assistance

Agreements. It is no wonder that Dicky continues to

advocate that our government and countrymen value

the Philippine mining industry as a vital factor in the

development of our nation, which can only be ob-

tained through responsible mining.

Obviously, when it comes to handling client’s con-

cerns, Dicky is uncompromising. There is not a

thing that he considers insignificant that should not

be given due attention. He also makes sure that his

associates “learn.” He is a relentless, but neverthe-

less kind-hearted mentor, following the footsteps of

his own mentors - three supervising partners in his

former law firm and his two partners, Sig Fortun and

Ogie Narvasa. His personal mission is “to be a

sought after and respected lawyer, attained through

dedication to excellence, practical approaches to con-

cerns of clients, and hard work, and to contribute to

the development of young lawyers.”

This is the dedication that he brings to the

IBP Makati Chapter, as one of its Directors,

to help the Chapter achieve the goals set by

the present Board – “to become more rele-

vant to the needs of Makati residents

through its legal aid programs, barangay

activities, mandatory continuing legal edu-

cation seminars, liaison with businessmen,

fund raising activities, environmental pro-

tection awareness efforts and Bench and

Bar events.”

But he also believes that the Chapter should

not only “push its own projects with a particular em-

phasis on helping Makati constituents,” but should

also “lend support to the IBP projects at large.” To

him, this is the hallmark of the Chapter, that it has

“continuously improved its delivery of legal aid and

barangay assistance over the years while maintaining

its involvement in IBP National activities.”

Because of his father, Dicky once saw himself

“resplendent in a white medical gown tending to the

sick.” But the vision faded “when he saw the plush

law office” of his brother who had passed the bar.

Seriously though, he derives his daily boost to

achieve contentment in what he does, not from the

perks of a successful law practice, but from his wife,

Ma. Lourdes Faller-Salazar, and his daughters, Mad-

elene Ruth and Margaret Rachel.

Although he acknowledges that he still faces some

challenges and still has a few dreams - to stay

healthy, to write a book on Corporation Law or on

Partnership, Agency and Trust, subjects that he

teaches (if not by himself, then with Madelene, who

has just started her law studies), to play the guitar, to

paint (and to level up in Candy Crush!) – Dicky has,

undoubtedly, “found happiness in his chosen career

path without sacrificing what he truly values in life.”

To him, this is the hall-

mark of the Chapter, that

it has “continuously

improved its delivery of

legal aid and barangay

assistance over the years

while maintaining its

involvement in IBP Na-

tional activities.”

So her advice to

As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.

(Joshua 24:15)

A red wallet and a Bible are not the first things that

one thinks of when the name GRACE P. QUEVEDO

-PANAGSAGAN is mentioned. Rather , most peo-

ple will think of the Integrated Bar of the Philippines,

Makati Chapter, since she was its immediate past

President, having served in various capacities for

more than 12 years; or the law firm of Platon Mar-

tinez Flores San Pedro & Leano, where she is a Sen-

ior Partner specializing in corporate, tax, environ-

ment, agrarian reform, labor, and litigation law.

But the reference to a red wallet, which is the first

thing one sees in her bag, and to the Bible, which is

an indispensable part of her life, perhaps better de-

scribes Grace.

Red is the color of passion and fire, and Grace has

epitomized both, especially in her service to the IBP,

Makati Chapter, as a “servant-leader.” Her vision for

the Chapter is “for more membership participation in

Chapter activities, and for members to see and expe-

rience the IBP’s relevance beyond the annual IBP

dues and MCLE compliances.” She believes the

Chapter stands for “Service and Integrity.” And she

intends to provide the “continuity and linkage” to

ensure the Chapter goes beyond rendering services to

the legal profession and expands to community-

related issues, bringing the law closer to the baran-

gays, students, teachers, and women.

She of course realizes that this is not

an easy task because to her, one of

the biggest challenges facing the

Chapter is reaching out to its more

than 3,600 members.

But facing challenges is not new to

Grace, a consistent honor student

from the University of the Philip-

pines and a multi-tasker. To para-

phrase her favorite song, there is no

mountain high enough, if God in-

spires her to succeed. Which is why

she believes in the indispensability

of the Bible. God’s Word truly perme-

ates her life, so much so that even for her

retirement, her dream is to go “around the world and

do mission work.”

Still, for the Former IBP Makati Lady President, re-

tirement is a long way off. Although she is most

proud of having already made a name for herself

“thru sheer hard

work” and her

own “personal

renewal,” there

is still a family

to take care of

and to continue

to draw inspira-

tion from; work

in her firm, with

partners who

continue to

mentor her; the IBP, to serve and to lead; and a col-

lection of cacti to nurture. She considers herself a

“work in progress,” focusing on controlling her tem-

per, never procrastinating, and, on the lighter side,

losing weight (but not if it means giving up her sin-

gle malt!).

The devoted daughter, wife and mother of three, still

entertains thoughts of becoming a graphic designer,

of travelling to the Holy Land with her family and to

Africa as a missionary, of scuba diving in Tubbataha,

and of skydiving, but there is obvious contentment in

her life.

Grace P. Quevedo-Panagsagan sleeps peacefully at

night, and that, for her, defines true success.
