the validity of DOH Administrative Order No. 2006-0012 or the Revised Implementing Rules and Regulations (RIRR) dated May 12, 2006. Devanadera graced the Investiture Rites of Dr. Hernando B. Perez as the 2nd president of the University of Batangas (UB) on August 15, 2007, at the University of Batangas, Batangas City. Particularly, SG Devanadera was among those who read the citation for Dr. Perez. She was an Ateneo de Manila Law School alumni, and student of her mentor, Perez. Legal controversy Previously, Devanadera and Antonio Nachura contested the position of Supreme Court associate justice vacated by Chief Justice Artemio Panganiban. Devanadera's name, however, was deleted in the final list of nominees submitted by the Judicial and Bar Council to the President because of pending graft / regular administrative cases against her (Sec. 5.1, JBC-009 Rule) that Ilocos Sur Governor Luis Singson filed versus Devanadera and others before the Office of the Ombudsman of the Philippines. The criminal cases cited the Anti-Plunder Act in relation to the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act and involved the Poro Point Special Economic and Freeport Zone. As government corporate counsel and member of the board of trustees of Manila Water (Manila Waterworks and Sewerage System), she was also sued for a MWSS board resolution dated July 29, 2004, deemed questionable. Disbarment case An eight-page Supreme Court judgment of Conchita Carpio-Morales, dated July 4, 2008, dismissed an unverified letter-complaint of "concerned citizens" which charged Agnes VST Devanadera, Rolando Faller, and Santiago Varela of engaging "directly or indirectly in partisan political activities" in the last elections.
