MANILA — The Supreme Court has named Atty. Camille Sue Mae Ting as its new spokesperson.

 In a statement, the high court noted that Atty. Ting is its first female spokesperson.

 “The court’s first female spokesperson and the fifth to hold the position, Atty. Ting will assume office immediately,” the SC said.

The Supreme Court noted Ting has been with the court for more than 11 years now.

After graduating law school, she began her career in the Supreme Court Public Information Office as a news analyst in 2012.

She left the court briefly to take the 2012 Bar Examinations, then rejoined the Court immediately as an executive assistant in the Office of the Court Administrator.

She rose from the ranks until she became the Judicial Staff Head of Associate Justice Jose Midas Marquez in 2021.

Meantime, the SC also named Atty. Michael Jobert Navallo as its Chief Communications Officer.

“Atty. Navallo, who will assume office on August 1, 2024, was a multi-platform journalist for ABS-CBN News based in Manila and is currently a Reagan-Fascell Democracy Fellow at the International Forum for Democratic Studies under the National Endowment for Democracy in Washington, DC,” the SC said.

Navallo worked for ABS-CBN News for eight years, mostly covering human rights stories and the justice beat comprising the Supreme Court, other courts, and the Department of Justice.
