Retired Court of Appeals Justice Monina Arevalo Zenarosa is the newest member of the sixth Commission en banc of the Commission on Human Rights (CHR).
Her appointment paper was signed by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr and was transmitted to CHR on Thursday, 23 March 2023. Commissioner Zenarosa’s term shall extend until May 2029.
CHRに任命される前、ゼナロサ委員は司法および法律専門家として確固たるキャリアを築いており、民間開業からスタートし、その後15年間（1975年から1990年）、検察官として、その後14年間（1990年から2004年）、さまざまな都市や裁判所で地方裁判所判事として勤務し、その後、フィリピンで2番目に高い司法裁判所である控訴裁判所の判事（2004年から2009年）に任命されました。
After her retirement from the Appellate Court, she was appointed as Commissioner at the Presidential Anti-Graft Commission, and concurrently served as Chairperson of the Independent Commission Against Private Armies, also dubbed as the “Zenarosa Commission,” which helped in the peaceful conduct of national and local elections after being able to forge an agreement with private armies for them to surrender their arms.
2015年、彼女は司法省恩赦・仮釈放委員会の委員に任命され、2022年3月までその職を務めた。
Commissioner Zenarosa joins as the second female member in CHR’s sixth Commission en banc (CEB), further improving gender balance in their present composition. She introduces plurality in the CEB for her comprehensive experience in applying and interpreting the law as a member of the judiciary for decades. Born in Masbate in 1939, she hails from Visayas, which brings to the CHR en banc an equal geographical representation in the discussion.
Commissioner Zenarosa earned her Bachelor of Laws degree from the University of Santo Tomas. At 20, she took and passed the Bar exam in 1959. She also attended the Far Eastern University Institute of Law for her Master of Laws, where she completed her academic requirements from 1961-1963.
