The way I see it after this article, Pnoy Aquino's days are numbered if Corona is impeached. Read this article and see why : --> LINK Now don't you think there is problem? Like I said before, the way Pnoy went about impeaching Corona is like putting a rope around Corona's neck on one end and tying the other end of the rope around his neck too. When he pushes Corona off the cliff, Aquino will follow suit for sure and both will fall of the cliff. Don't tell me I didn't warn you so but this is bound to happen.

THE PNL EDITORIAL IS A DISTORTION OF FACTS. It concluded that CJ Corona “did not say how many properties he actually had.” Contrary to the news report that the LRA report is a hoax because he only owns FIVE (5) of the said properties and these have been reported in his SALN. LINK Moreover, this is not included in the ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT, hence, not admissible in evidence because “wala sa demanda” or not in the charge sheet. Looks like it is a trial by publicity. Why not wait for the facts as may be established by the Senate Trial Court rather than make such unfounded conclusion?

It was Corona's lawyer who stated he owned only 5 properties--and this was after we had published our editorial. In his televised interview Corona himself only argued that there were duplications in the LRA list of his properties.

The PNL Editorial also concluded that CJ Corona’s acquisition Php 14.5 million cost of a condo with 3 parking slots is untrue because “real estate experts say it is worth significantly more than that.” The evidence is easily available from the records of the seller (MEGAWORLD) as to when it was bought, for cash or installment, the selling price at the time of sale and the prevailing price at that time. Why rely on guess work. The PNL is also being drawn into a KANGAROO type of prosecution launched by the penoy administration, Again, not being included in the ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT, is this admissible in evidence or a mere trial by publicity to demonize Corona?

Now where did we say it was untrue? Read the editorial again pls.

HMS lamented why Bishop Oscar Cruz and Fr. Bernas pray for CJ Corona. Dre, it only shows that they believe CJ Corona may be innocent of the charges raised against him in the ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT, as I do. Don’t be swayed by the KANGAROO penoy administration. Wait for the verdict of the Senate Impeachment Court or by the Supreme Court, or by the People’s Court ala ERAP impeachment as may be warranted. Who knows, baka naman mabaligtad at ang makasuhan naman eh si penoy. We didn't expect that the ERAP Impeachment trial would have resulted to a people’s revolt, right?

The PNL editorial concluded “However one cuts it, Corona is “damaged goods” no matter what the outcome of the Senate trial.” And 1 UP parroted with his “Whatever the outcome is, he is wounded, bloodied and seriously damaged. A "damaged good" indeed.” Your conclusion are all based on unproven and/or distorted accusations. You are advocating a KANGAROO trial and a demonizing CJ Corona even before adjudged guilty or INNOCENT of the charges. What is contemptible is your conclusion that CJ Corona is damaged even if acquitted by the Senate Trial Court, which is a lot of BULLSH*T and a sanamagan and sanamabits.

PNL: I want to bet my only “kalabaw” against Ka Deo five aluminum centavo that after prosecution of CJ Corona and GMA, there will be a big period (not comma) as far as prosecuting other corrupt “kuno” people. It is mission accomplished for PNoy, and Filipinos are happy. But the undeniable fact is more Filipinos are “mahirap now” than before, therefore, the slogan “kung walang corrupt walang mahirap” reflects to the fact that MORE MAHIRAP NOW is cause by MORE CORRUPTION NOW. The issue mentioned above will not be; “it is fun in the Philippines” even for Filipinos or the tourist”. MABUHAY PHILIPPINES pa rin tayo!

“President Benigno Aquino has asked his legal advisers to come up with a shortlist in case embattled Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato Corona is removed from office.” LINK The post of the CJ may only be vacant if CJ Corona is removed by impeachment. ART. VIII, Sec. 8 of the Constitution provides that the Judicial and Bar Council (JBC) composed of the Chief Justice as ex officio chairman …shall nominate the appointee to the vacancy to the post of a Chief Justice, etc. of the SC, for approval of the President.” LINK If removed, there is no Chief Justice that may convene the JBC. Penoy is ignorant of the Constitution. Another Penoy violation of the constitution.

The House of Representathieves accused CJ Corona of owning real properties he does not own but did not even bother to clarify or apologise for its baseless accusation. The news report disclosed “They failed to explain, however, why the LRA included in the list, properties that are not even in the name of Corona, but in the name of even the National Housing Authority and Burgundy Realty. Among other listed properties.” The false accusation was conjured and fabricated by Penoy’s classmate. Is this Penoy’s daang matuwid?

CJ Corona needs a big shovel to dig himself out of the solid allegations & crap he's in. Nobody knows if the Novena masses & blessings from retired Archbishop Oscar Cruz will help him. The truth of the matter is he's dragging his wife & children with him in this trial. It was reported that the expose on the properties acquired by the Coronas is just the tip of the iceberg. His lawyers will have to come up with strong & formidable defense. It was also reported that CJ Corona promised & assured to donate his properties if they are ill-gotten. In his last SALN in 2001 CJ Corona disclosed that he has 5 properties listed under his name. So. do the math, in 2011 he has 45.

Unscatched kamo? Ngayon ay considered na tanggal na siya sa mata ni P-noy. Lahat ng paraan ay ginagawa niya sa tulong ng mga house prosecutors na kahit na me warning na sa paggamit ng media para ibulgar ang baho niya ay di mapatigil. Maliwanag na dahilan ay ang ang Supreme Court decision kontra sa pananatili ng Hacienda Luisita. Kaya galit si P-noy! Battle of personalities na ang umiiral at tiyak si Corona ang bubuwal.

The real reason for for the continued vilification of CJ Corona prior to trial, by P'Noy minions, defying impeachment senate orders to knock-off the public trial by publicity already, to drum-up mob support, which it got, momentarily, is due to the 8 articles of impeachment feebleness, as will be shown, now that the actual impeachment trial has begun. P'Noy et al drum-up mob crescendo was suppose to force CJ Corona to resign.

There is so much more to the real picture than meets the eye. Did "BOSS" Danding Cojuangco, (P'Noy's uncle), mastermind Ninoy Aquino, (P'Noy's pa), murder? No doubt P'Noy is very very pissed with CJ Corona, & SC, having voted 100%, to give the HLI farmers, (rightful owners), Hacienda Luisita, operated by unca Danding & family for niegh 40 Yrs. As president, P'Noy wants it undone, or else unca Danding will disinherit him. Unca Danding owns the giant San Miguel Corp too. > LINK CJ Corona impeachment is for unca Danding Cojuangco.

Alphabet Man: Please explain how BS Aquino is in violation of Artilces III and VIII. I am no lawyer but the Hacienda is not owned by PNoy but by the Cojuangcos. As to the right of the state to hold an individual to travel is perfectly legal. Filing charges in court by any citizen against another is more than enough to cause a hold departure order. You could do that if someone owes you money!

Even if the prosecution wins people will still think their votes are related to the release of their funds and that they wanted to please the palace. That is still corruption however one may see it. People will also think this is related to the Luisita verdict. Vengeance has something to do with it. Where was this latest survey conducted? Come to Mindanao and see how we feel about these issues.

There is much much more than just the impeachment of CJ Corona. P'Noy is really terrified. After all, unca Danding gave his blessings for P'Noy to get elected president, only to loss hacienda Luisita to the real owners, HLI farmers. The immensity of unca Danding is indeed enough to make P'Noy rotate in his sleep like being lechoned in a spit. LINK

I will repeat it again once more for the umptenth time, Corona pays homage to Arroyo (Gloria) because he was a "pauper" when he had an operations and Arroyo paid (I reckoned) for it with her own money, not the government. And you know, Pinoys as clear as mud always tumatanaw ng utang sa labas. But this Corona was actually a multi-millionaire even then, it appeared, with all reported properties. Did we miss something in this picture? I would be the first person to scream "sunugin" this Land Registration Agency, Title Transfer Office and others if they "manufactured" these documents to pin down Corona. What d'ya say tonyO?

Corona had already an image issue upon his appointment as chief magistrate. He has no track record that his is a man who is an impartial, honest and committed to public service.The controversial TRO that Corona's court issued and the revelation in the impeachment that he had acquired over 20 million priced properties in a short period of time (as Gloria's trusted legal adviser) negated the impartiality, the honesty and the commitment from any person expected to lead the "court of last resort."

What does it profit CJ Corona to gain the condos, houses, cars- and lose in the end: his soul? He has to remember that power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stand against love. In terms of Corona's assertions that he's fighting for the Ph democracy and the independence of the Supreme Court, he may envisioned it with the wrong ideology, with the wrong philosophical presupposition.

With a some exceptions (show me one), if we can't trust our politicians, our military, our religious leaders, our judicial system, our garbage collectors, who can we trust? Is it a surprise then, that our poor country is indeed poor? Is the Filipino people corrupt and dishonest by nature? Or are we just victims of the Spaniard's, the American, the Chinese, etc. cultural influence? Is it a surprise then that literally millions of Filipinos are leaving the country to work elsewhere? Professionals working as domestics, waiters, laborers, "entertainers". Sad. Sad.

The Pinas supreme court's neither inherently corrupt nor rotten; it's however, compliant with the member's padrinos, appointing president, hence, members of the court are never given liberty to express their best persona judgment on matters of justice or fairness; each member serves the president and not the people. people are deprived of their God-given liberty. If this act to oust the chief's a noble act, then maybe, judicial independence in the highest court of the land could bring justice for all.
