President Rodrigo Duterte has appointed Court of Appeals Associate Justice Henri Jean-Paul Inting as associate justice of the Supreme Court, a member of the Judicial and Bar Council said on Monday.

Justice Secretary Menardo Guevarra said Duterte promoted Inting, a law graduate at the Ateneo de Davao, as member of the 15-member bench.

Inting completed the 15-member tribunal expected to decide on cases hurled against the Duterte administration, including the Chico River and Kaliwa Dam loan projects with China. 

Inting was appointed to the CA in Oct. 2012. His sister, Socorro Inting, is also a Court of Appeal justice. DMS
