Name: RENE ARGUEZA CommentsAtty. Vidal lied when she was asked if she brought jc corona SALN. Later, she admitted she has when grilled by senator-judges. Is this a kind of ploy from the defense? Feeling and waiting first the court how they will react on this issue? I presume it was becoz why Ms. Vidal brought the SALN in the first place if there is not purpose all. Does lying to the impeachment court constitute perjury? Perhaps it's an SOP for lawyers to lie and an old practice in this profession that it is acceptable norm. Name: Phil Researcher CommentsRE Your Editorial on the first 3 days. I have to disagree with you on this.. The Prosecutors are mostly Congressmen you cannot compare them with the trial which appears on TV shows which are fiction and the actors are well rehearsed and memorized lines.. In actuality , you can count with your fingers trial lawyers who can captivate a court room crowd..The likes of Dakila Castro, Alejandro De Santos, Jose W. Diokno, Jovito Salonga were all in the previous century..If you want to observe trials in the Regional Trial courts you will be disappointed too because many lawyers have difficulty expressing themselves.. Corona only admits he owns 5 properties. Now I believe It will be more dramatic when the prosecutors present and identify the 45 properties. Name: Jaime Bigornia CommentsMedia people mold public opinion the way they want it. They can make a person look very good and look very bad in the minds of the public. Take the case of GMA and the Chief Justice for example. People are craving for their heads (like the Jews who asked relentlessly for Jesus to be crucified) as if they are higher than the law. Without the due process, they are already convicted (Ala, kangaroo court). Day 1 showed the ineptness of the congressmen prosecutor and the Administration as a whole. The other sector will not allow this stupidity, they will be beaten black and blue. Name: Marie CommentsMarami namang matitinik na mga pwedeng Prosecutors bakit hindi syang inilagay. Sa hitsura ay tipong mga hindi aktibo, parang hindi kumain ng isang linggo. Kelangan sa mga kagaya nilang nakapwesto sa ganyang maseselang na imbestigasyon, ang ilalagay ay yong piling-pili na mahuhusay, at ipakita nilang mga smart sila, mukhang matalino, masigasig at laging handa. Bakit tipong minadali ang kaso tapos kulang sa preparasyon. Medyo nakakawalanggana. Name: GFJBHEDF CommentsAfter all the bunch of malarkey, 26 days of maligning CJCorona in the world media, these P'Noy congressional impeachment hooligan prosecutors, on 1st day of presentation of evidences, could not produce the LRA officer & witnesses who supposedly crafted the LRA documents of 45 RE properties owned by Corona cono. For all their 26 days of media braggadocio, these prosecutors are showing us they are a bunch of comic nit-wits. > LINK Name: Steve R CommentsAfter two days of being unable to read PNL forum, I opted that the best way to "keep abreast" with all posters, was to do a count of who are and who are not in favor of CJ Corona's impeachment. At 11:00 P.M., 01-17-2012, forty six (46) posters made comments favorable to CJ Corona's impeachment and thirteen posted comments against the impeachment of CJ Corona. I vigorously favor the impeachment of CJ Corona. He should have contacted the former PGMA & requested that his wife be removed ASAP from her 4 jobs at Camp J.H. I believe all the events before, during and after the TRO. CJ Corona should be directly link & be held responsible to the ineligible expenditures of $21.p mil intended for judicial reform. Name: Steve R CommentsMr. Kalabog, I think that you and me are making "baby steps" toward some agreement with our comments in this forum. As you stated "Bantay Salakay ng Bayan", CJ Corona in my view is "Bantay Salakay ng Bayan" I believe that his final approval of the TRO to prevent CGMA from boarding a plane was an act of Bantay Salakay ng Bayan. Name: 1 UP CommentsTony0: You invoke the principle of due process which is "A fundamental, constitutional guarantee that all legal proceedings will be fair and that one will be given notice of the proceedings and an opportunity to be heard." Don't cry wolf adre. Corona knew that impeachment was coming! It was only a matter of time. Courts do not subscribe to that principle of due process in everyday life. The courts (specifically the Supreme Court) preach it but they don't practice it. Let us start with the controversial TRO which is the proximate cause of this impeachment process. FAIRNESS? IMPARTIALITY? Real big words with hollow meanings in Corona's court. Name: A. Poli CommentsThe prosecution is not ready? By gosh, these folks rush the impeachment like a bolt of lightning and now they are saying they are not ready? What kind of people are these? Tarnish peoples reputation in the media? Had the president prioritize the passing of freedom of information law, we would not be listening to this excuses. I don't know, someone's not doing his job properly. :) Name: 1 UP CommentsMockingmaya was so convinced that the impeachment of a chief justice would elevate the standing of the country in the world community. So he made this statement: "I do believe that the impeachment, conviction & removal of Justice Corona from the bench will make Philippine democracy one of the most transparent, genuine & strong democratic institutions in the world." What is your proof? Erudition is non existent in legal proceedings. The country has more Kenkoys than Solomon. Senators acting as judges? Hm. Name: 1 UP CommentsMockingmaya: You keep repeating the constitution without really understanding what it means. There is no such thing as absolute power in a democratic system; if there is, then it is not called democracy but autocracy. If you say that Corona exercises absolute power, why is he the subject of an impeachment process? Where are the checks and balances in a democratic government? Puro theory ka lang with no practical application. You are exhibiting parroting behavior. Name: 1 UP CommentsTo the skeptics, they compare the trial of RC to JC. There are close similarities: koronang tinik, pako sa cross, Ponsio Pilatao washing his hands and the angry mob shouting "crucify him !" A PREVIEW OF THE LENTEN SEASON. Tony0 will be there in the drama as a friendly and compassionate centurion. Name: A. Poli CommentsCan blaming others consider as part of a job? Or a sign of incompetence? Can anyone really really ascertain if someone is telling the truth without the benefit of a valid evidence? Is the rule of law better than the rule of mob? Are people given real honest information so they could make an intelligent decision? Is our media unbiased? Who guarantees that they are not biased and will never be biased? What process is in placed that ensure media is not being used for personal or political favor and propaganda? What's the difference between dissemination of truth and brain washing? More questions later..... :) Name: A. Poli CommentsDid I understand this correctly? The 180 congressmen signed an impeachment in a matter of hours basing on evidence that are not yet ready? So where do they base their decisions? Could it be that they sign the impeachment out of fear their pork barrel is in the line? Are these congressmen really clean of corruption? How can people verify that they do not pocket these pork barrels? Or are pork barrels being used as bribes? More questions later...... :D. Name: sbejar CommentsTo those dumb as*es from the supreme court who are persistently praying the rosary and demonstrating in support of Corona are creating perception that they will lose their job when Corona goes. That means to say that they are "Sipsip " and has no or guts or skills to to qualify for another job somewhere if and when this corrupt Supreme Court Justice goes out the door. These "anay" (supporters) for all you know, might have landed their supreme court jobs from the usual Pinoy system like connections and "datong". Name: A. Poli CommentsIf CJ Corona is found guilty he should be prosecuted. But can the next court guarantee that previous unanimous decisions to distribute Hacienda Luisita remain in place? Or will they allow reopening of the case for possible reversal of decisions? I asked this because I want to know where these is leading to? Baka pinaglololoko lang tayo ng mga namumuno kunyari pa sila paimpeach impeach pa sila? Name: Todo CommentsI understand one poster here who appeared to be a religious woman opined that it would be better for Corona to resign like Merceditas. I think she now joined the bandwagon of mobs who opted to convict a person before the presentation of admissible evidence, just like what the religious people did when they opted to cause the crucifixion of her God 2000 years ago, thirsty for blood. Name: Todo CommentsBasic is the rule in criminal, administrative and civil cases that you can not prove what is not alleged. This rule of procedure is not a ceremonial tradition because it goes into the requisite observance of due process. The impeachment trial is not an exception to the observance of this rule, as the prosecution wanted the people to believe. If we set aside this rule, then, it would be tantamount to no law or rule at all. Name: deo CommentsTonyO: You said, "mayaman si Corona because he obtained his doctoral degree at Harvard" or something like that. Hindi ka kasi nagbabasa ng mga articles at issues concerning Corona. Put this in your kokote; I read for umptenth times why "tumatanaw ng utang sa labas" si Corona kay Arroyo one of the reasons is because Arroyo PAID for Corona's operations (his back not yagba). There's only one conclusion one can arrive at; Corona is walang-wala (broke), mahirap, poor. In my previous entries I called him a "pauper". Why suddenly he's is an owner of multi-million ka pisos nga mga real estate. Lilinti-an! Indi na si nahuya. Name: 220 Lange CommentsThe prosecutors in the impeachment of Corona are bungling the process. If the second day is a repeat of the first day Corona wins by TKO at the end. Name: deo CommentstonyO: Extremely speaking, the phrase "due process of the law" starts at the moment when a person sat down and contemplate to do something illegal or not to do something legal. When it became known to a person or persons what he is thinking and that person or persons admonished him not to do or do it, the "due process of the law" commenced because the law is made to prevent a person from doing what he is not supposed to do or supposed to do. So when Corona allegedly committed graft and corruption, his crime started the "due process" when 1) he bought a condo the fund paid for it, the source is unknown; 2) investigation was conducted; 3)probable cause is established (titles and other documents); 4) indictment by the House; 4) now trial in the Senate. Name: ReyOfBatoCatPhil CommentsKahit ano pa ang mangyari sa Impeachment court, G or I, these things say that these are all Gloria's stuff, kaliwat kanan kabig, dukot. Ang kawawa ay tayong mga maliliit. But who's fault are these? not me, not you but all of us, who who allowed them to do it in our own plain view of our eyes. Now that we have the President who tries to get them, let us support him, the rule of majority. Ang problema mayroon pang umaayaw samantalang nakikita na natin na dumidiritso na ang takbo nang ating gobyerno. Ito ang malaking katangahan ng ating bansa, puro bunganga, puro magaling. O lord give us more power to proceed what the current administration is trying to do for the people. Name: mockingmaya CommentsDid judicial review square with democratic government if appointed & unelected justices were corrupt & partial? I don't think that the Filipino people are willing to risk their lives, properties, & fundamental rights in the hands of a corrupt jurist like Justice Corona, who is not accountable to the electorate. Some Constitutions in the world explicitly deny judicial review under a corrupt jurist, for example, Article 84 of revised Belgian Constitution (1994) firmly asserts that "the authoritative interpretation of laws is solely the prerogative of the Legislative authority." And in Switzerland, the people are truly supreme. Name: deo CommentsTonyO: Now, where in my illustration in the previous entry the "due process of the law" was not afforded to Corona therefore violated his rights? That's only the "due process of the law" observed by the House and the Senate to remove Corona from his perch as CJ of the SC. To put him behind bar is another story. After all the axiom of the law is that, "no person is supposed to benefit from the fruit of his crimes". Name: deo CommentstonyO: The World Bank now confirmed there are "ineligible" projects in the fund under the care of Corona, which he (Corona) still refused to render accounting. Now is the World Bank a party to the "hoaxes" to pinned down Corona as you would like the posters in this forum to believe that all the parties from the Salespersons, to the owners/developers to the government agencies responsible for the registration and titles of the subject properties conspired to pinned Corona down? It's improbable. Sobra ka na! hehehehe. Name: 1 UP CommentsThe first day of the impeachment proceeding did not bode well for the prosecutor panel. Enrile had to intervene to keep the process in order. The prosecutorial component of the legal system in the Philippines in the weakest link. Then comes the judges who hear the case. Statistics will show that the government has a very long losing streak record. The Alabang Boys case was lost, General Carlos Garcia got a sweetheart deal, the celebrated Vizconde case was badly mishandled that allowed the real killers to escape justice etc. If Corona wins this case, he will be thumbing his nose. I wouldn't blame him. He knows the system. Name: mockingmaya CommentsDefenders of Justice Corona should not elevate the Supreme Court to the status of national religion & create a new concept of the rule of law for the rich, for modern medieval church, for the powerful & corrupt unelected judges. The Filipino people must not remain passive or mere spectators while a great constitutional history or revolution is unfolding before their eyes: "when you elevate freedom of thought & speech to the position of society's highest good, it ceases to be merely freedom of thought & speech." Moreover, in a constitutional democracy, impeachment process or procedure as a democratic check can't be dictated by the lawyers of a corrupt & partial Justice Corona. Name: KALI CommentsPer gildads; “To CJ Renato Corona: Pls. for the sake of truth and justice VACATE the Supreme Court now..you are a big disgrace to the Pilipino people” You must be a yellow tatter. Watch the show, the truth starts coming out. The prosecutors appear to be taking their first exam from law school. Submitting a computer generated document not authenticated by anybody, that’s baloney. Even “you” would say “garbage” throw that away, I won’t accept it, right? Disgrace is a distasteful word to throw when the person is unproven of any wrongdoing. Pls don’t be a bigot, ok? Name: KALI CommentsHey Deo; You better get ready to “sunugin” the LRA office, but if you hesitate, my “kalabaw” with a long horn will “sungayin at sipain ka’ while Tonyo and I are watching. The worst for you won’t be over, coz after that the cops will arrest and handcuff you for ARSON, per Tonyo, hehehe. Tonyo, the coffee I’m drinking suddenly taste good while writing this post. You know what I mean? hehehe. Name: mockingmaya CommentsRe: "World Bank confirms ineligible expenditures in SC project." The Filipino people should not undermine the power of their votes & other powerful institutions of democracy to defend the institutional interests of their national government, or the Philippine Republic itself.: Ombudsman, Sandigan Bayan, Department of Justice, lower courts, BIR, & so on. Justice Corona must prove beyond reasonable doubt that he didn't violate criminal statutes: ill-gotten wealth, tax evasion, conspiracy to defraud the government, plunder, & other crimes against the Filipino people, or public trust. Name: Mark Williams CommentsThe impeachment prosecutors were just too busy presenting their case to the media that they came to the impeachment hearing looking stupid and dumb. They came unprepared and even ruined the whole day for everyone else. Is this an indication that they really do not respect and care for the law and the legal process? Good luck Filipinos! Name: mockingmaya CommentsI do agree with former Senator R. Saguisag intellectual insight that Justice Corona is not a good SC Justice leader. Why? A good chief justice embodies intellectual leadership, good judgment or judicial excellence, and so on. In fact, scholars argue that a chief justice can posses social, intellectual & policy leadership. Corrupt & partial Justice Corona does not deserve to hold his commission "during good behavior," which in practice means for life. UST should revoke his Ph.D credential without intellectual legacy---an insult to a noted academia. Name: Phil Researcher CommentsRE: Kali from Hawaii.. The reason your pariente lost the land is No. 1.His lawyer was incompetent..2. the other lawyer was brilliant .. maybe 3 hectares went to the Judge.. But you are comparing apples and oranges.. This case of Corona is an open public trial. do you think the prosecution would produce documents that are falsified when it will be scrutinized by the defense and more so, the Press TV, Radio and newspaper. Nano ka man imo ya dugay ka na sa Manila tonto ka man gihapon. Name: tonyO CommentsLPiF said “tonyO: Do you acknowledge now that SC doesn't have any say on FINAL VERDICT of the impeachment?” Dre, on the contrary. Section 1, ART. VIII of the Constitution vested the Supreme Court with the power of judicial review if there has been a GRAVE ABUSE OF DISCRETION AMOUNTING TO LACK OR EXCESS OF JURISDICTION ON THE PART OF ANY BRANCH OR INSTRUMENTALITY OF THE GOVERNMENT. LINK One statement of facts already admitted from the undisputed opening statement of defense counsel, Ex Justice of the Supreme Court, SERAFIN CUEVAS, is CJ Corona was impeached by the House without NOTICE AND HEARING, hence, unconstitutional because it violated the Bill of Right that no person shall be deprived of his life, liberty or property without the due process of law. Name: Blitz CommentsHey Tonyo, what you're talking about that I am not consistent. Do you have common sense? Even you will not exactly mention the exact article which was violated in the Const., you'll know if you're watching the news. I believe you don't have TV or radio or even free newspaper.. that's why you don't know what's going around. I pity you Tonyo or Tonto gihapon. I don't want to argue with you just write what you want and mind your own business, okay? Name: tonyO CommentsPhil Researcher said “The Senate has decided in the first hearing that the Impeachment filed against CJ Corona is valid..Of course, they have to.. the Lower house is not subject to the supervision of the Senate.” Dre, The senate Impeachment Court will decide after the trial on the ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT. Also, the House of Representatives/Prosecutors are subject to the jurisdiction of the Senate Trial Court. What’s the basis of your contention? Name: Mikaela CommentsTo Marie: Dapat mo ngang hangaan si CJ Corona dahil may paninindigan siya. Bakit siya mag-re-resign? Maski ako, kung walang akong kasalanan, I'll do the same thing until the last drop of my blood to prove my innocence. Para sa akin, I'll leave everything to GOD and he'll do the rest. After all the Truth will always prevail. Obviously, this is the evil works of the "MAMA's BOY (ABNOY) & his cohorts to pin the CJ down. He need not be too complacent. There's always a "Twist and Turns" sa mundo ng politika. Next thing you know, siya na ang nasa HOT SEAT! Name: Mikaela CommentsIsa pa, the Prosecution team are questioning Corona's acquired properties. Indeed they are all BRAINLESS (No common sense whatsoever). The CJ who is intelligent/educated/ambitious & hardworking at that have been working ever since he was a young man- from Marcos', Ramos' , Arroyo's era and up to the present time. Imposible bang magkaroon ka ng mga ari-arian kung "masipag" ka at may "tiyaga"? Even an ordinary citizen could acquire properties if possessed with these two most impt. qualities. For instance, a well-known tycoon, Lucio Tan, mahirap, walang pinag-aralan pero hindi mabilang ang ari-arian. Si Pacquiao, dugo at pawis ang kanyang puhunan, nagbibigay na karangalan sa bansa, binabato rin dahil sa marangyang kabuhayan. Ano ba iyan? Name: tonyO CommentsPhil Researcher said “Mr. Corona …can't fight the President who was elected by a landslide against your midnight appointment.” Dre, I’m perplexed by your contention, since the constitutionality of his appointment as Chief Justice has been deliberated and passed upon by the Judicial and Bar Council and approved by the President pursuant to the Constitution and FURTHER resolved and confirmed by the Supreme Court during the watch of Chief Justice Renato Puno. What’s your legal basis? Name: Mikaela CommentsOn a different note, I'd like to commend Enrile for being such a fair and impartial Senate presiding judge on Corona's trial. Indeed, he's doing an EXCELLENT job. To CJ Corona I support you 1000% including GMA. These two deserve fair justice at hindi dapat husgahan kaagad. Name: tonyO CommentsAs I See It said “Carpio is just too ambitious and in a hurry to replace Corona that he almost forgot it is still a RULE OF LAW to follow in a COLLECTIVE decision. An assault to CJ is an assault to an independent body collectively! Democracy is in peril!” Carpio must be on something extra legal process because the appointment of a member of the judiciary requires deliberation, approval and nomination by the JUDICIAL & BAR COUNCIL (JBC) headed by the Chief Justice. If CJ Corona is removed, there is no JBC that may approve and nominate him for the post of the new CJ. What do you think? Other Comments Name: A. Poli CommentsOk I read in the news. HLI wants Corona to inhibit in the 14-0 decision to distribute land. Ok granting Corona agrees or booted out of the SC. What about the other 13 justices? Will they change their decisions then? Or will they be replaced by justices who are appointed by PNoy? See we want to know where these are leading to? Baka pinaglololoko lang ang mga tao.... Kunyari pa sila......:D Name: Marie CommentsThanks, the controversial RH Bill is not part of the 26 Bills to be passed this 2012. See, what prayers can do? Tonyo nongsaymo?. Name: deo CommentsTonyO: The TRO, Land Title Office (however you called the offices) can not just produced a fake documents to pinned down Corona and make it believable. There are so many parties involved if it's manufactured. The owner(s)/sellers, the Realtors, Brokers (Salespersons), Banks including kibitzers. These parties are ligit businesses so I can bet my last aluminum centavo they don't want to be a party to these "hoaxes". I know how corrupt that Pinoy business people are BUT NOT THAT CORRUPT. There are still decency left in them. Don't even think of that again or else I would look at you like a "tongaw" in stead of the "green giant". If you know what I mean. Name: Marie CommentsThe Ninoy International Airport is not worst of all in the world but I consider it bad. It's not convenient to go out of the airport, it's too dangerous for adults and for everyone. You need to always ask for help to carry your luggage/to push your cart to be sure not to slip down. I hate that part of the airport, really! Name: Edward CommentsLook at these pictures, clowns. Why even put on this show. A waste of time. Filipinos, no people on earth can show case stupidity like you. Name: 1 UP Comments7gtg recounted this experience (about safety- PH the safest of them all) " When I came to Canada that was when I got victimized by thieves at the airport in Vancouver. Took me 3 weeks to get over it. Of all the travels, dito pa ako nasalisihan." Vancouver is swarming with Asians therefore it was convenient for thieves to pick on you. You fit the profile of an easy target. You were not seen as one of the locals but a foreign tourist from the Middle East with a lot of "petro dollar." Name: Edward CommentsMockingmaya, transparent, genuine and strong. What! It's Filipinos running the government. One crooks replaces another. I know PNL staff said no more name calling but, you, you are a "#%@. Name: deo CommentsTonyO: How many times do I have to lecture you that just because you see black and out, that must be it. Pare, talagang pinaliliit mo ang sarili mo sa akin. You keep harping the principle "due process of law". It seems to me you really don't know what the principle is all about. I thought the "DUE PROCESS" would have guided you to the significant meaning of the phrase "due process of law". Mukhang zero, nada, wala, sip ang intende mo. OK, I'm make it easier for you; how about "process"? Do you understand the meaning of the word? OK, if not here's an example: "tonyO is in the PROCESS of preparing his masterpiece dish for deo's meal". Sirit pa rin? What about "due process" is step-by-step? Name: Edward CommentsWho people here have to be really stupid. No one is going to jail or going to lose his job. It's the PI. What do you people think the other judges are honest and this jelly eating donut is the only crook. LISTEN, you people have nothing but crooks in government. The whole damn country is dishonest. Fix the pot holes, pick up the trash, stop pissing and spiting in public, learn how to drive, learn how to wait your turn in line, stop making babies. I'm out of breath now, but there is plenty more.
