Felix Makasiar

Félix Valencia Makasiar was the 14th Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the Philippines, serving in that capacity for four months in 1985. His 85-day stint as Chief Justice, abbreviated only because of the rule requiring mandatory retirement upon reaching the age of 70, was the third shortest in Philippine history, behind the tenures of Pedro Yap and Teresita Leonardo-de Castro. Prior to his promotion as Chief Justice, Makasiar had served for 15 years as an Associate Justice.
