Timeline

1922

Ameurfina Melencio-Herrera (born Ameurfina Aguinaldo Melencio; 11 May 1922 – 12 October 2020) was a Filipino lawyer who served as an Associate Justice of the Philippine Supreme Court from 1979 to 1992.

She was the second woman appointed to the Supreme Court, filling the vacancy left by the retirement of the first female Supreme Court Justice, Cecilia Muñoz-Palma.

Born in Cabanatuan, Nueva Ecija to Jose P. and Carmen (née Aguinaldo) Melencio, Herrera was a granddaughter of Emilio Aguinaldo, the first President of the Philippines.

Among the future Justice's baptismal godfathers was Supreme Court justice George A. Malcolm, who also happened to be the founder of the law school she would later attend, the University of the Philippines College of Law.

1947

Herrera studied law at the University of the Philippines and graduated cum laude in 1947.

She topped the 1947 Philippine Bar Examinations with a 93.85% bar rating.

She has attained the highest rating for all women bar examinees in Philippine Bar history.

After a brief stint with a New York City law firm, Herrera engaged in private practice for several years until she was appointed to the judiciary.

1962

From 1962 to 1973, Herrera served as a trial court judge assigned in Quezon Province, then the City of Manila.

1973

She was appointed to the Court of Appeals in 1973.

1979

Herrera was elevated to the Supreme Court by President Ferdinand Marcos in 1979.

1986

When Corazon Aquino assumed the presidency following the 1986 EDSA Revolution, the incumbent members of the Supreme Court, all of whom were Marcos appointees, were asked to resign.

Herrera, along with Claudio Teehankee Sr., Vicente Abad Santos, Nestor Alampay, and Hugo Gutierrez Jr.. were the only incumbent justices who retained their seats on the bench.

Aquino, however, opted to extend new appointments to these justices in lieu of extending their previous appointment by Marcos.

Prior to re-appointing Herrera, Alampay and Gutierrez Jr. on 16 April 1986, Aquino appointed three new members to the Supreme Court, Jose Feria, Marcelo Fernan and Andres Narvasa.

As a result, Herrera, Alampay and Gutierrez Jr. were supplanted in seniority by the Aquino appointees.

Because she was overtaken in seniority by Narvasa after the 1986 reorganization, however, it was Narvasa who was named Chief Justice, although Herrera had served on the Court longer.

1992

When Chief Justice Marcelo Fernan resigned in 1992 to run for the vice-presidency, Herrera was widely regarded as a leading contender to replace him.

Herrera retired in May 1992, and was named as the Chancellor of the Philippine Judicial Academy upon its inception in 1996.

The academy is tasked with the professional training of members of the Philippines judiciary.

2009

Herrera served as Chancellor until May 2009.

2020

Melencio-Herrera died on 12 October 2020 at the age of 98.
