Thus, the Chief Justice said the judiciary must ensure that "justice in the digital age does not lose its soul, but rather, finds new strength in its purpose: to serve our people with greater integrity, transparency, accountability, and accessibility."

Gesmundo was the keynote speaker during the recent national convention and seminar of the Philippine Trial Judges League, Inc. (PTJL) in San Fernando City in La Union.

He reminded trial court judges that the technologies adopted by the judiciary in its modernization efforts must uphold the core values and principles of justice.
