The Senate on Tuesday ruled that it will accept the bank records of Chief Justice Renato Corona with the Philippine Savings Bank submitted by the prosecution as evidence in the magistrate’s impeachment trial.
Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile also announced at a press conference following a caucus of senators that the impeachment court had denied the motion of Corona’s defense to suppress the bank accounts as evidence on the grounds that these were illegally acquired.
“As far as the evidence on bank records presented by the prosecution … (these) are accepted,” Enrile said. “So (we) have accepted the formal offer of evidence submitted by the prosecution panel.”
Enrile explained that for the bank records to be excluded, there should be “an unwarranted search and seizure or arrest is done by the state or her agents such as the police and the military.”
But in the case of Corona’s accounts, he said, there was no indication of any such act by the government.
Besides, he added, “the facts indicate that the bank account number exists.”
However, Enrile also stressed that, “We have not yet decided on the opening of bank account but only on the documents at hand, ” referring to the records submitted by the prosecution to the Senate.
The prosecution in Corona’s trial objected to the defense motion, saying there will no determination yet that the bank documents were fake and that these were submitted “in good faith … as they have bearing on the (impeachment) court’s resolution” of the case.
Sought for her reaction to the ruling, Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago said “this is the right attitude” by the impeachment court.
“When in doubt, just acccept the evidence,” so long as there is no indication of any serious violation of rights, she said.
She added that the acceptance of the bank records did not necessarily mean a victory for the prosecution because “this does not necessarily mean the case will turn on any particular evidence.”
Good Job Senator Judges kung hindi ninyo tatangapin ang mga evidence ay bulok na talaga ang sistema na batas natin. Kung sino ang Magnanakaw at Makasalanan ay siyang nabibigyan na hustisya lagi at di napapanagutan sa mga maling gawain. Sana naman ay ipakita at i hatol ninyo na “GUILTY” dahil kahit sinong bobo ay alam na ang tagong yaman ay galing sa NAKAW.
Excellent move by the sanate! Corona could have gotten away very easily if all these unearthed bank documents would be thrown away. The “little lady” and the “documents were left on the driveway” stories paid off.
It would be very interesting to see the other side of the coin next week!
Great! Now, it’s the defense that will prove that Corona is not a thief. So, can they justify that the money belongs to Corona’s wife? And this is not part of their conjugal wealth that he wanted hidden from the public’s prying eyes?
For me, it’s very clear that Corona is guilty for not declaring it in his SALN. His wife is not filing any SALN, so anything that he files is presumably a joint SALN.
Sayang, Corona could have avoided this terribly embarassing situation if he only resigned his post and filed a retirement. Now, he risks being dismissed from public service and with a stigma that cannot be erased.
That’s great!!!!!
Convicted na yan!!!!!!!!!!! Kahit 2 times pa na bomoto si Miriam pabor sa sinungaling at mandarambong na CJ Corona na yan…….. Convicted pa rin yan!!!! Bulag ang Senado pag na aquit yan!

Heard on “Karambola” (DWIZ 882) at around 9:40am today, through the mouth of Teddyboy Locsin:
Teddyboy,
Relax ka lang, kulang lang sa Executive Health Spa (Quezon Ave) yan. Open na sila at 10:00AM. alam na alam mo yun. 🙂
Teddy Locsin is definitely anti- P-noy and anti yellow. Sa kanya, okay na okay daw yung ginawa ni Brenda sa pagsasabon ng prosecution.
#5. bay, hintuturo ni Teddy boy nakadirekto sa kanya. Why is TBL so mad at Pnoy? Any backgrounders on this?
Pinapatahimik lang ni Enrile at Brenda ang netizens kaya suportado nila kunwari ang Corona bank records bilang evidence. Hindi akalain ni Miriam na balikan sya ng matindi ng netizens, medyo tumahimik ang bruha.
The vigilance of all who expressed their sentiments against the behavior and decisions of the Senator-Jurors helped a lot in this latest Impeachment Court decision.
A great deal of thanks to the freak show of the deranged and bastos one for raising the indignation and interest of the public to new heights.
I hate to be a killjoy at this time of celebration but I still am wary of many of these Impeachment Court jurors.. especially Miriam, Enrile, Honasan, Joker, Bongbong, Sotto, Revilla, Lapid, Jinggoy and Pia.
That’s 10. All Corona needs is 8, right?
By the way, I have decided to no longer refer to these senators as Senator-Judges. I have decided to just call them Senator-Jurors. My mind can’t seem to accept calling these political creatures as Judges.
One on one interview with Chief Justice Corona:
http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/video/112250/talakayan-with-igan-one-on-one-with-chief-justice-renato-corona
#8..totoo tumahimik si Sen.Miriam, napansin nya yata, marami ang di kumampi sa kanyang “pag-aarte y over-acting”,akala nya dahil, magaling sya, bawat sabihin nya ay maraming hahanga sa kanya, at mag-bibigay ng aral…Baliktad ang nangyari, na Karma din !..pati, “Hell” di daw totoo, at kathang isip lang, o emptiness..yong pinag-aarte at sisigaw nya, “fire of Hell” na yuon..Tumakip tuloy ng Tainga si atty Aguirre, para di maka-pasok sa utak nya ang maka-mandag na mga salita.
Mukhang naliliwanagan na ang Senate Court, salamat naman. Kung wala ang “facebook-emailing-cyberspace, at cell phones, Ipod, latest chips discoveries and CCTV, etc..” ( through Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Job, iba pang latest innovation ), na gamit ngayon ng madlang-tao,mayuyurakan na naman,( sana) ang hustisya ng Pilipinas. Lumiit ang mundo ni Corona, sa cyberspace communication, mukhang dyan sila mapapahiya, kapag di nila, naitama ang Hustisya-Batas na sila, din ang nagsigawa-o-pinagmulan…GOD BLESS the Philippines, the Senate Court, and the SC’s cleansing status..Tatagild ang defense lawyers, (sa mga nabangit na “electronics innovations”, na ang di nakikita sa malayung lugar, ay nakikita sa mga screens ng TV at PCs or laptops, kasama na ang pulso-pulses ng vis-a-vis komentaryo ng mga taong nagmamahal sa demokrasya at bayan ), kapag di sila, “dumaan sa tuwid na daan”, at sa “Wang-Wang” principle ni Pangulong PNOY !…sabi ni Erap noon, ey, “weather-weather” lang daw…
Ki PNOY ngayon,tayo muna makisama sa tuwid na daan, at mag-antay naman ng 6-na-Taon kung kaninong “weather” ang susunod..Mahalaga, maturity of the critics and the minds of the majority of the people. Huwag katulad ng laman ng utak na binansagan na “lady Gaga”, at kakampi , mayroong sign of immaturity sila, manahimik na lang…
#5:
Teddyboy is the twin brother of Miriam.
Perhaps there is more to this Impeachment Trial than the evidence presented.
The judgment that will be rendered will, in fact, say whether we are still holding the highest official of the judicial branch of government by a higher moral and ethical standard.
Take the case of Ana Basa and how here family was treated. Granted that it is a family squabble, it does tend to shed light on Chief Justice Corona’s character.
http://coronaimpeachment101.wordpress.com/2012/03/07/reaction-to-chief-justice-renato-coronas-alleged-oppression-of-ana-basa/
#7 & #8 – Just curious also, I second the question of chi: why is TBL so mad at Pnoy? As I remember, TBL used to be close to Cory and had been her speech writer for some time. Anybody who has some info on this issue?
and why is TBL cursing the media, isn’t he in media also? or he also thinks he’s way Hi IQ than all of us and has a low telerance also? 🙂
And now, a theo-philosophical lesson from Cheap Justice:
“Kapag ako ay nag-iisa at napapag-isipan ko ang nangyayaring ito, nagiging medyo philosophical ako… na hindi naman siguro nangyayari ito kung hindi pinahihintulutan ng Diyos, [mayroon Siyang] divine plan,” Corona said. (In a GMA news item today)
Sabi ko na nga ba, idadawit na naman ang “Diyos”; ano kaya divine plan tinutukoy niya? Itanong kay Madam Auring!
He is a dimwit. That divine plan is karma.
Corona: ” I can explain every cent of my property.”
Cent?! Cent?!
Basta ha. Cents..ha.. Meaning dollars.
Meaning every cent in your dollar accounts.. both here and abroad.
Every cent in your U.S. real estate properties.
They all speak the same, don’t they? The Gloria mob. Parang tribal culture. A style of lying/talking all their own. And yes, taking the name of the Lord God in vain.. with impunity.
Ebidensya vs Corona
“………Iyon ngang isang kawani na hindi naglista ng maliit na tindahan sa kanyang SALN ay ipinasibak sa trabaho ng Korte Suprema sa ngalan ng batas. Bakit kung ang Punong Mahistrado ang magtago ng nakaw na yaman, hindi siya dapat parusahan?
Ibig sabihin niyan, ang batas ay para lamang sa kaligtasan ng mga malalakas. Ang batas ay para lamang sa pagpaparusa ng mga maliliit…..”
http://abante.com.ph/issue/mar0712/op_am.htm
Mata, ex-AFP chief; 94
“…….On his second retirement in 1967, Mata was appointed defense secretary. He did not collect a salary and relied on his pension as a retired general.”
http://www.malaya.com.ph/03072012/news13.html
divine plan ha? parang ganito rin yun drama ni mayor sanchez dati?
Divine plan for Corona? Omigawd, hindi na kinilabutan! Kambal sila ni Gloria Arroyo who claimed meron syang direk konek sa Dyos. Jawskopo!
Paano bibigyan ng divine plan si Corona na tumutok ng baril sa walang kalaban-laban na caretaker at nagnakaw ng fortune ng matatanda? (Just read Anna Basa’s story at Inquirer).
Tangnang Thief Justice mukhang tatakbo pang pagka-Pangulo sa 2016. Nangangandidato na …. nagpapa-interview na. Waes ang luko … tuso …. puweeeeeeeeeee …..
Magaling magpa-ikot ng istorya … kesa dahil daw sa Hacienda Luisita lamang kaya nangyayari ito.
Gago, Bobo kundi pa naman talagang sinungaling ito … di ba niya alam na mula pa ng nanumpa si Aquino hindi na siya kinilala na siya ang CJ ng SC?
Tuso talaga … hindi dapat siya ang CJ. Dapat lang na sipain siya sa puwesto niyang kanyang pinangarap.
Biruin mo ang isang tao na nasa kapangyarihan na hindi naman ibinoto ng tao ay ginagago ang isang Pangulo na kung ilang milyong Pinoy ang bumoto at hanggang ngayon naniniwala sa kanya.
Ba kung ganun yong Chief Justice na lang ang inyong Pangulo …. ang inyong sambahin at magtipon-tipon na kayo lahat sa Luneta para masaya. 🙂 🙂 🙂 wahahahahahahahahah …. puweeeeee!!!!!
Sabi ni SC ay tatayo lang siya kung sinasabi ng abogago niya. Sinong gagong Abogago ba ilalagay siya sa witness stand na alam na mabubuko lang. Aayahan na lang niya ang asawa niyang mapahiya kesa siya. Isa lang naman ang dapat niyang gawin kung talagang malinis siya eh Di na kailangan ang payo ng abogago niya at siya mismo ang mag present ng sarili niya at ipaliwanag.
Di lang pala pag nanakaw ang alam at pang darambong at pag kalkal ng kayamanan na di naman sarili nila.
Isa lang ang dapat gawin ng mga Tongressaman at ang palasyo na tumawag na “National Prayer” or mag rally at mag tipon tipon para ipag mukha sa mga Senator Judges ang gusto ng taong bayan.
Kapag na Acquit si Corona ay “BABOY na ang batas natin”
Ang “MALI” ay siyang laging nangingibaw at nabibigyan ng parangal.
Ang “TAMA” ay nagiging inutil at walang napupuntahan.
Palagay ko tama ka igang von …. “National Prayer” ang kailangan ninyo para itaboy ang demonyo sa Supreme Court.
Kung yong mga kaibigang Iglesya ni…. Corona 1M … ipakita niyo rin na mas marami kayo na di hamak. Punuin niyo ng tao ang buong kahabaan ng EDSA at pati na din yong kahabaan ng Macapagal Blvd pati na rin yong National Highway mula Norte hanggang MM maliban sa Ilocos Norte. 🙂
Para yong mga Senator Judges na natakot sa mga ipinakitang dami ng suporta nitong si Corona sa INC ay magbago ang isip at ituloy na masipa ang Thief Justice. Kagaya ng mga Cayetano siblings, si Escudero na akala mo napakagaling. Putulin niyo man ang bayag ni INC’ing Topacio itong tatlong ito ay boboto ng “not guilty” kay Corona.
Etong mga Senator Judges na sina Joker, Enrile, Santiago, Honasan, Sotto sa aking palagay ang boto ng mga ito ay “not guilty” din. Itong mga taong ito’y kailan ba sila tumama? Puro sablay lahat ang mga ito.
Eto namang mga artistang Senador mukhang hila hila sila ng mga sablay na Senador. Kasi po wala silang “brain” … tanong niyo kay Miriam.
Matapos magbigay ng TRO ang SC ni Corona against opening of his $700,000 accounts ngayon sinasabi ng thief justice na willing daw sya na buksan ang kanyang dollar account. Wow, grabe din sa propaganda ang magnanakaw na Corona, gumagala pa sa tv stations.
Korek si Trillanes, nag-uubos lang sya ng laway dahil walang-saysay sa impeachment court ang kanyang winawang-wang sa media. Dun sya magsalita sa impeachment court kahit ayaw daw kuno ni Cuevas na mag-apir sya dun. Dahilan ba yan para sa media sya gumala at mag-ingay?! Desperado na si Coronado!
Sabi NI THIEF JUSTICE ay
Inamin ni Corona na ang perang nakadeposito sa PSBank ay perang pag-aari ng korporasyon ng kanyang maybahay na si Cristina, ang Basa-Guidote Enterprises, Inc.
“Bakit ko idedeklara sa aking SALN eh hindi naman akin ‘yun,” pagdidiin ni Corona.
GAGO pala ito talaga at gusto mag pa awa epek sa TV ay mali naman ang sinasabi. Ang sarap talaga ilagay ito sa witness stand at tiyak na buko buko na ito.
Bakit daw niya ilalagay sa SAL at di naman sa kanya. Eh bakit nasa pangalan niya sa bangko ang pera at binigyan lang niya ng Authority notes ang asawa at kung hindi sa kanya ang pera ay di na niya kailangan ang note na iyan at puwede ng i withdraw ng asawa niyang mangdarambong din na kinakamkam ang pera nga kamag anak. Wala daw silang tiwala sa bangko. sabagay ang kapwa mag nanakaw ay di nag titiwala sa iba iyan.
Ang mga sinungaling ay talagang di nila nakikita ang mali.
Kailangan ng mag tipon tipon para ipakita ang lakas at tawag ng bayan. I alis ang mag mandurugas sa korte.
Pag aari ng KORPORASYON ang pera daw??? eh bakit walang authorization sa ibang board members na i withdraw niya at bakit nasa kanyang pangalan??????? Ayun at uma angal na nga ang ibang kamag anakan ng asawa nila na kinakamkam ang perang di naman sa kanila.
With regards to CJ $$ accounts. meron TRO ang SC..tanong hanggang kelan ito at bakit di agad desisyunan kung naaayonba sa batas ang pagbubukas o hindi? ayon sa tamang deliberasyon? kelan ang desisyon? at bakit parang may iniintay bago mag desisyon? the issue to me is just a matter of interpreting the LAW. atty. sax ano po opinyon ninyo dito?
#33. Inamin ni Corona na ang perang nakadeposito sa PSBank ay perang pag-aari ng korporasyon ng kanyang maybahay na si Cristina, ang Basa-Guidote Enterprises, Inc.
“Bakit ko idedeklara sa aking SALN eh hindi naman akin ‘yun,” pagdidiin ni Corona.
__
Tama ang tanong. vonjovi….bakit naka deposito sa bangko nya hindi pala sa kanya?
Ginagago nya mga nakikinig at nanonood ng radio at tv. Palusot ng isang magnanakaw talaga.
Straight from the horse’s mouth :
The SC is a collegial body but I am the ONE responsible for blocking the 10 billion settlement for Hacienda Luisita
Kung hindi pa siya nabuking, di pa niya sasabihing pera ng corporation ng asawa niya yung perang nasa bangko niya. Ngayon, yung mga kamaganak ng asawa niyang iniipitipit nila ay maghahabol na. Mukhang magtetestify pa yata sila sa senate hearing.
I don’t think he will take the witness stand at all.
Dito palang sa media blitz niya, halatang halata na ang mga sinungaling at pagkabobo niyang sumagot. Indefensible talaga kung sa korte niyan. He will be ripped to shreds. His lawyers know that.
So yung strategy is magpaliwanag ka na lang sa media.. sa “friendly” media daw.
Interesting that they chose GMA network. Sino bang friendly dun sa kanila?
Corona should open his mouth some more. If his lawyers do not want him put on the stand, they must know that he is hiding a lot of skeletons in his closet. If he is cross examined, he might slip. Kung sa one way na media exposure nga nahuhuli na siyang nagsisinungaling, yun pa kayang nasa impeachment court siya?
eto ang mahirap sa mga un-truths…time does not erase these sins. Talagang you will have to face it. Ang mahirap talaga ay out in the open. Maski anong sabihin nilang trial-by-publicity or professional slandering-campaign ay iba ang testimonials by prayerful people. I attest by this. Having experienced how the fiscals will side with the more astute in legalese maski hindi naman totoo, ay ang Diyos na lang and the Law of Karma ang pinaniniwalaan ko.
http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/157677/sister-flory-basa-shocked-why-cristina-corona-says-she-owns-the-company
Corona should open his mouth some more. – psb
Para lalong magkalat. 🙂
Ayos at kay Thief Justice rin nangaling ang salita na di daw sa kanila ang pera at pera ng korporasyon. Ngayon ay puwede na rin siyang kasuhan ng kamag anak ng asawa niya na pag nanakaw dahil bakit nasa pangalan lang niya at wala sa korporasyon. Di naman siya board member.
Alam ninyo ng mag pa interview si Thief ay dalawang tao ang naluluha habang nag papaliwanag siya. Ang mag asawang Arroyo then ang na iinis ay ang buong bansa natin.. PA AWA EPEK pa kaso purol naman ang paliwanag at babubuko.
Tange
Naknamputakte, nasan si Miriam? Bat di niya ngayon patahimikin yan si Corona? Yung magagaling na mga abugago ng IBP na iyak ng iyak tuwing nagpe-presscon yung prosecutors kesyo subjudice daw?
Letse, ngayon mo makikita ang kulay ng mga gagong pakamatay para ipagtanggol si Corona dahil nasa kanila na ang karapatang maglabas ng mga (pekeng) ebidensiya.
Basta ako, isa lang ang inaabangan ko, yung ipanangako ni Atty. “The Dean” Roy III na di dapat magtitili si PNOY dahil daw “ilalabas din ni Corona yung dollar accounts niya when their turn comes.”
Mukhang meron nang tatalon sa apoy para ipagtanggol si Corona. Isang accountant-lawyer daw ang aaming siya ang nagpe-prepare ng mga valuation sa SALN ni Corona.
Sino namang ganyan kadesperado ang sasalo ng punglo para kay Corona, kundi isang religious fanatic, tagong kamaganak, mahal na bayaran, o abugago ni Putot. Pwede bang imbestigahan background niyang taong yan?
Iglesia ni Kulafu ba siya?
Isa ba siyang miyembro sa angkang Basa-Guidote-Roco-Coronado-Corona-Macapagal-Arroyo?
Magkano ang appearance fee niya at sinong nagbabayad? Pakita nga ng mga resibo (lagot ka kay Henares!), hehehe.
#32 @chi i agree w/ you he is desperate.i just hope na lahat ng dollar account nya pabuksan nya at d lng ang selected few. kahit halatang scripted ang pag interview sa kanya lumalabas pa rin na d magkatugma ang mga cnasabi nya nuon kesa ngayon.sabi nya cya lng ang hadlang sa HL? akala ko ba collegial ang decision nila sa supreme court the same way sa TRO ni GMA?
#44 @tongue-twisted kahit cno pa ang aamin na cya ang gumawa ng SALN ni corona the mere fact na pinirmahan nya(corona) at under oath yun cya pa rin ang mananagot d b? wag nya sabihin na pumipirma cya na d nya binabasa ang pinipirmahan nya?
ningcho, ang istilong ganyan naman e para lang ipakitang hindi si Corona ang may kasalanan. Ganyan lagi ang tumbok ng depensa.
Yung pera sa bangko, hindi kanya. Yung mga lupa sa mga anak. Yung gumawa at nagfile ng SALN hindi siya.
Maraming magogoyo sa ganyang istilo lalo na yung hindi kilala si Corona na nag-master ng Law sa Harvard at pagkatapos ay nagtrabaho sa DBP at Combank saka naging opisyal ng pinakamalaking accounting firm sa bansa, ang SGV. Sanay diyan ang SGV sa pag-aadjust ng mga libro para maisaayos yung mga bayarin ng mga kliyente ayon sa “savings” matapos ang lagayan sa City Hall at BIR.
Oo, alam na alam niya ang kalokohang ginawa ninya, kung marunong magtanong ang mga senador, pati yung accountant makukulong. Yung SALN ay pinirmahan at SINUMPAAN pa niya!
De Quiroz:
Pag opening bell ng defense on Tuesday, si Miriam ay tatayo. Special first on the line privilege courtesy of Enrile, shrieking lecture na naman sa mga prosecution,
“Hoy, mga gago, pakinggan niyo mabuti ang presentation style ng defense. ‘Yun ang gayahin niyo, mga gago.”
“At ‘yung sinasabi ng mga gagong walang alam na dapat daw Corona should have declared his wife’s family’s millions in his SALN ay mga gago. Cite me the law that says you have to declare in your SALN any money that was just entrusted to you for safe-keeping. Aver, aver…whahh.. whahh..whahh.”
#48:
I too am of the same thought.
In fact, the focus of the attention now I think will gradually shift more on the Senator-Jurors. The public has more or less made up its mind already. They will scrutinize the Senators now for every question, statement, decision or action they will make both inside and outside the court.
Every sneer, smirk, smile, nod, etc.. will be analyzed and interpreted by millions of viewers. And they are the ultimate judges and have the ultimate power.
Ano ang sabi ni dak dak quero?
“The senator-judges won’t decide this. The people will.”
Mabuti nga para mag kasubukan. Anong klaseng people power ang gagawin nila? Yong hakot crowd nga sa EDSA anniversary eh kaka piranggot lang. Baka sa mag sasaka lang ng Hacienda Luisita e talo agad yong people power ni Ngoyngoy……hahhahahaa
Yong inaasahang people power ni Ngoyngoy ay yong smartmatic voters…….hahhahahaaha
The senate has already accepted all bank records offered in evidence but the defense objects to the same. Including the Bellagio unit and three condo parking lots.
I think this is preparatory, again, to outmuscle the senate impeachment court of its implied judicial superiority by ultimately subjecting the issue to yet another TRO from the Supreme Court if dismissed by Enrile or his court. Worse, this would be used as evidence of the senate’s overstepping its boundaries, thus paving the way for a mistrial.
So despite what Corona says in the background to “friendly media” (GMA7 is one), here you have his lawyers making all these formal manifestations and objections, of course pre-cleared with Corona himself, that would render moot all the charges that he is “ready to answer” once these objections are sustained.
While Corona is presently doing his striptease I’m quite sure he wouldn’t bare all. Sino’ng niloko mo?
Ulul.
Re:#50
Thank Miriam. Now the people are watching the Senators more closely than they did during the prosecution’s turn. People are now counting heads more than ever.
malakas ang loob ni renato corona na pasinungalingan ang pagtutok niya ng baril sa katiwala ng BGEI dahil patay na at hindi siya makokontra.
ang mga abogado naman niya (corona) ay hindi mapigil ang punong masahistrado ni gloria sa pagtawag ng pre$$ conference upang ipagtanggol ang sarili sa pagpapahayag ng mga kasinungalingan.
kung ibabatay sa pahayag ng mga kamag-anak ng kanyang asawa, SINO kaya ang mas kapanipaniwala – silang mag-asawa o ang mga inagawan nila?
magsisinungaling ba ang isang madre? wala sigurong madre na nasangkot sa mga kabulastugan gaya ng mga paring bakla, obispong bayaran at cardinal ng kampi sa sinungaling at magnanakaw!
I can’t wait for Judgment Day.. when the senators finally have to make their individual judgments and explain such to the nation.
That’s the day this country will stand still. With everybody on edge, anything can happen.
I’d hate to be in those senators’ shoes.
walang ginagawang dahilan si corona KUNDI “kung papayagan siya ng kanyang mga abogado na humarap sa impeachment court.”
ano bang kailangan pang sundin ang kanyang mga abogado?
di ba’t chief justice na siya?
ibig bang sabihin MAS alam ng kanyang mga abogado ang tamang pagdedepensa sa kanya kaysa sa kanyang pinuno ng mga henyo sa batas ng siyang mas may karapatan at kaalaman sa pag-i-interpret ng alinmang batas?
kung talagang gusto niyang tumestigo sa kanyang trial, huwag nang kunyari pa ay may go signal mula sa kanyang mga abogado.
kung kaya niyang lokohin ang sarili niya, MAS lalong gagawin niya ang lahat upang ang mga sumusubaybay ay kanyang papaniwalain sa lahat ng kanyang mga kasinungalingan.
But then..yes, anything can happen.
This trial could again be pre-terminated by ..either the defense or the prosecution.
bakit napakahirap para sa alinmang korte sa pilipinas na patunayan ang pagiging inosente kapag isang pobre ang isinasangkot sa krimen?
bakit napakadali para sa ating magagaling na mga abogado ang pagtatanggol sa maliwanag na may kasalanang MASALAPI, MAY KONEKSIYON AT MAKAPANGYARIHAN at papabasing INOSENTE sa kabila ng mga nagsusumigaw na mga ebidensiyang patunay sa mga kasalanan?
#47. ningcho, the fact that Corona signed his SALN means it is correct to his knowledge. Pirmado nya mismo, wala syang lusot kahit sino pang tangang bayaran ang sumalo sa kanya.
#45. Tongue, more fun in Pinas kapag isinalang sa umaapoy na bangko ang Iggy ni Corona.
#56. Mags, amen ako sa madre…

Sister Flory: PH needs a righteous Chief Justice
by Jojo Malig, http://www.ABS-CBNNews.com
Mrs. Corona’s aunt belies Chief Justice’s camp’s claims on BGEI
MANILA, Philippines – A nun who is an aunt of Chief Justice Renato Corona’s wife has expressed concern for the country if he remains as the country’s chief justice.
“Kung mangyari that he does not resign and he will continue, what will the future be?” asked Sister Flory Basa, aunt of Mrs. Cristina Corona, in an interview with ABS-CBN News. “Ang inaano ko lang, if he has been doing this to our little family, is it right that we will give him the opportunity to do it for the country?”
—
Oo nga naman, apt question Sister.
# 35
Ang TRO ng lower courts expires in twenty days; the court has no authority to renew. Ang TRO ng Supreme Court, indefinite, until further notice.
Bakit walang decision? Dahil hinihintay ng mga Hukom na mag-moot and academic ang kaso. Yan ay mangyayari kung haharap si Mrs. Corona, ang accountant, o si Corona mismo.
Bakit gustong maging moot? Dahil tali ang kamay ng mga Hukom. Kahit anong anggulo tignan, absolute ang sinasaad ng batas – bawal magbukas. Yung mga whereas clauses na binabanggit ni Sereno, as the purpose of the law, dumb-ass provisions yon. Hindi maaaring umiral ang whereas laban sa mismong titik ng batas.
Note, kahit yung abogado ni Noy, si Bodjie Reyes, ayon sa TRO.
Ngunit kung pepermanentehin ang TRO, magagalit ang taumbayan, at magmumukhang pinapaboran si Corona. So mabuti pang pabayaan na lang na walang decision, hanggang matapos ang impeachment.
Wala namang saysay ang pagbubukas, kung ang hangarin lamang ay mapatunayan ang paratang sa impeachment. Unang-una, inamin na ni Corona na may ganoong dollar account nga. Kung may ten dollars man yan, or ten million, immmaterial, dahil napatunayan nang, may ari-arian na hindi inilahad.
Shock value lang ang gusto ni Tupas, and even chismis value, para ang taumbayan ay magtatalak na, ganoon ba? Ang laki naman (ng pera hindi yung ibang ari).
Inglisin natin at mahina tayo sa Balagtasan.
Enrile’s decision was right. He allowed the substance of the evidence, for whatever value to the prosecution, but not the details, to avoid a clash with the law. After, all, Corona already admitted the existence of the dollar accounts.
In US jurisprudence, there is the concept of evidence being merely corroborative (chu-chu-wa evidence), that only supports earlier evidence, but which may be prejudicial to the Respondent. What do they mean by prejudicial? When the evidence .may tend to instill an emotional reaction. Note, may tend, not that it conclusively will instill an emotional reaction.
For example, photos of the bloodied remains of a child killed by a serial killer-pedophile. The only evidence usually admissible is the testimony of the forensics expert attesting to the stab wounds, etc. The reason for that is that the gory photos may anger the jury, and they will decide on emotion, instead of the evidence. Wala namang diperensya yung salaysay ng forensics expert at yung larawan, sa pagpatunay ng patayan. Ngunit yung larawan ay nakakagalit.
Similarly, the accused usually are presented to the court in street clothes, not jail garb, para hindi magmukhang jailbird. Kaya nga, yung asawa ni Michael Ray Aquino, ay hiningan ng street clothes, para sa kanyang vista. Kung hindi, ang US marshall (ang guwardiyang naghahatid) ang malilintikan.
Yung mga panibagong paratang ni Tupas ay walang kinalaman sa impeachment. Kesyo nanutok ng baril si Corona, etc.
The impeachment tries acts or omissions of the Chief Justice, as being contrary to the Constitution, or a betrayal of the public trust. Ang sabi ni Tupas, character daw ni Corona ay masama. But character was never an issue in the impeachment. Gutter tactics na yan, at talagang appealing to the emotion. Hindi man tatanggapin ni Enrile yan, because it is irrelevant – not related to the issues, and an act that occurred before the man was appointed. Heck 1983, panahon pa ni Macoy yan.
Apparently, the votes are not in yet, which explains the need for the continued media blitzkrieg. Frankly, I think there is the possibility of an acquittal; even that other gunslinger Llamas admits such a possibility.
What to do? Do what the Makati firms do. Gumapang.
Another response, distance yourself from the impeachment. The impeachment is a House job. So let them take credit for any victory, or eat crow for the defeat. But do not bet the Presidency on it. After all, the Presidency will not rise or fall on some stupid side show like this. Parang Kenneth Starr yan. He bet his career on a blowjob (to a President). What happened after? He has been sentenced to oblivion.
In fact, I would do both, use the Holy Week as an excuse to distance the Presidency from the impeachment, while in the background, gumagapang ang mga gremlins.
Marami pa namang magagawa ang Presidente. There is the still un-filed forfeiture of properties of the Ampatuans. There are judges in the RTC who have a more immediate impact on the taumbayan, who can be removed by way of a new law, a la BP 129. There are the prosecutors who sell dismissals, especially to drug lords.
I believe it is a foolish decision to seek to define a Presidency by a “historic” impeachment of a Chief Justice. It will be a footnote in history if at all.
Does anybody remember who instigated the impeachment of Justice Samuel Chase? (John Randolph).
Does anybody remember that Gerald Ford sought the impeachment of Justice William Douglas? He is remembered as the guy who pardoned Nixon; hardly anybody remembers the effort to impeach.
Does anybody remember Kenneth Starr? Only in derision.
It may be better to work for achievements that are not divisive – the economy, the revamp of the whole judiciary, the purging of prosecutors for sale.
In an earlier post, I said token lang yang si Corona. Even if you get to remove him, tuloy ang ligaya ng mga drug-lord cuddling prosecutors; tuloy ang ligaya ng mga RTC judges who sell TROs for sale. Tuloy ang ligaya ng justices sa Court of Appeals. These are the people who should go first. These are the priority concerns for me, not some token that the President props up as the Devil Incarnate himself.
Marso na. Malapit na ang July. A third of the term has passed. Tempus fugit (time flies); and opportunity flies with her. Wala bang ibang pagtutuunan ng pansin ang Pangulo?
Wake up Sir; from the stupor of your obsession.
Samahan nating magdasal si Sister Flory para tuluyan ng matanggal ang isa pang tinik sa ating lipunan. Kita niyo namang magaasta ang tupak na ito akala mo kung sinong napakabait yon pala isang gago. Sana mas malakas ang ating panalangin kaysa sa mga kapanalig na Iglesya ni Corona.
Kaya mahal na mahal ko ang aking paniniwala kahit di ako pala-simba dahil meron pa kahit papanong isa na gaya ni Sister Flory na nanalangin sa kapakanan ng buong sambayanan … di gaya ng iba diyan na kinakampihan lang ang kapakanan ng isang tao at sa kapakanan lang ng kanilang kongregasyon.
Tedanz, kaya siguro nagtatago sa saya ni Tina si Atong ay matandang madre na ang sumasalungat sa kanyang mga dinadakdak sa media. The words of the thief against an old nun, wala syang laban dyan.
The problem with this impeachment proceeding is that its being run by OLD men and women who believe that their age, experience, and knowledge of the law equates to infallibility.
Experience is overrated, we cannot solve new problems with old solutions. And most certainly we cannot progress to wherever we want to go if we continously operate under the shadow of the US. Citing US precedents and treating them as wisdom is like a blind man following another blind man.
If Singapore, Malaysia, China, etc, continued to blindly follow the US they would have been in a similar shithole like the former biggest superpower.
This is an impeachment court not a trial court, the defense has tried to manipulate it to operate in the their territory, knowing fully well the senate judges being OLD lawyers will fall into the good old days trap, the comfort zone gambit. And fall they did.
The much maligned Neil Tupaz knows this pretty well, its a political exercise and therefore should be fought in the political arena.
And being focused on eliminating the REAL targets or obstacles to judicial reform is a lot better than hitting faceless, nameless, abstractions.
Corona, Arroyo, are symbols yes, but they are real targets also, if we jail them it will send a strong message to the CA, the corrupt politicians, that we mean business. If we get Corona, this will be a victory of the people against the age old bondage of injustice, of the laws of the land being crafted to protect only the rich and powerful.
This generation belongs to the young, let the old men retire, and relive the “good old days” by themselves.

Grabe naman patama mo. Parang nahaze yung tinamaan. 🙂
jug, let them die kicking. 🙂
This is not just a legal combat. This is also a political combat. So fight with both hands. Fight in and out of the court. It is consistent with the nature of impeachments.
The prosecution can’t win with the “legalities” of the present rigged rules of the Gloria-led Supreme Court.
Nor can they win with the inconsistent rulings of the influential Batman and Robin duo in the Impeachment Court.
And the common sense approach to speed up reform in the judiciary is to cut-off the head of the hydra so that the tentacles weaken and die. You want to quickly terminate a messy vine? Go for the root, not the tentacles.
Sa interbyu sa kapatid na madre ng mga Basa ay hindi na dapat pagdudahan ang kasalanan ng mag-asawang Corona. Irrelevant sa kasalukuyang impeachment ngunit sapat na batayan sa kadudadudang competence, honesty and integrity ni Renato Corona kung nararapat pa ba siyang manatili as CJ bukod pa sa ang maniniwala lamang na malinis siya ay mga katulad niyang ang kahihiyan ay nasa talampakan na sa bawat hakbang ay napupudpod kapag nakakaskas sa nilalakaran o dili kaya ay nasa puwet na nababawasan sa bawat pagbuga ng utot at tuluyang nauubos kapag sumalampak sa inodoro sa pagsabog ng kinaing bulok!
Abangan natin kung hindi magbabago ang maliwanag na pagkiling kay Corona ng mga senator-juror na kakampi ni goyang.
tedanz,
hindi na pala iglesia ni cristo?
binago na ba o bago ‘yung iglesia?
Iglesia ni Corona.
