"First of all, may I stress that as the 26th chief justice of the Supreme Court and as a longtime public servant, I will lead by example. Secondly, to achieve our goals and aspirations, each and everyone in the judiciary must be guided by this motto which should follow by heart: Let us be united and let us follow the rules," "Clerks of court will be required to conduct periodic inventory of all the cases pending in their divisions and consult with the court en banc as to how to solve the issue of backlog and other concerns," "All other courts must continue to comply with existing rules and guidelines pertaining to prescribed periods for trial dates, including promulgation of decisions and other rules geared towards the realization of a speedy disposition of cases," His other agenda are as follows:
 * Implementation of duly approved revised rules of court and the continuous revision of the rules of court and other rules of procedure to be more responsive to the needs of court users, and for the Philippine judicial academy to focus on skills-based training for judges and court personnel;
 * Automation of court processes and incorporation of technology in hearings and trials;
 * Cleaning up of misfits from the judiciary;
 * Improving the security of justices, judges and halls of justice;
 * Setting up 24/7 help desks in the office of the chief justice and other offices;
 * Monitoring of performance in all courts especially for the observance of the rules;
 * Improvement of procurement and bidding processes for faster and more timely implementation of projects;
