Selected Comments Name: pepe CommentsThe editorial comment hit the jackpot, regarding Filipino culture! Atenista, Upsilonian, lawyers, mga priests, bishops, nag-aral at hindi nag-aral, Ph D's , pare-pareho. Ipagtanggol ang individual na corrupt na magnanakaw because of his/her rights. Kalimutan na ang magnitude ng ninakaw, election o millions dollars or pesos. Akala natin may pag-asa na tayo sa tuwid na daan ni Pinoy, wala yata! Maraming kumokontra at humahanga sa mga Marcoses, Arroyos, Estradas. Marami kang asawa mananalo ka sa election dahil sikat sa mga taong bayan. Walang pakialam ang mga taga Lubao kung magnanakaw si GMA, basta maganda ang Lubao. Ganyan mentalidad ng Pinoy. Name: Bert Dellosa CommentsThis is article is soo true...allegiance should be to the country (and to some extent to God)..ask the Japanese, Singaporeans and Koreans... Name: Phil Researcher CommentsRE Court Administrator Midas Marquez... Not only is Marquez Court Admin, he likewise is the spokesman of the court. He messed up in his additional duty of signing releases for the World bank loan as the WB questioned the use of the loan money for travel expenses of Justices attending seminars, when the WB loan was specifically for improvement of judicial facilities..Thus the WB in that Report asked the SC to return the $199,000 released by Marquez but he just followed the directions of his boss the CJ. If Corona goes I guess he has to look for another job. Name: Ferdie CommentsThere is word for this, CANINE DEVOTION of Marques To Mr. Crown. Name: kali CommentsPNL; you are not playing the game on even terms. As I see, I think Marquez is performing his job per his job description. If he is not doing his job satisfactorily, the Supreme Court could be in chaos already. In a naval vessel, all eyes and ears are directed to the Captain. Until properly relieved, his wishes are his command. Sorry if I compare, but political Adviser Llamas is more of extra baggage for PNoy than alleged wrongdoing of Marquez. Name: James CommentsThe Editorial says: “Schools, both public and private have failed to train generations of Filipinos how to be good, responsible citizens.” - There are a lot of American Executives who run companies that went BUNKRUPT!, Ex Pres Arroyo got her Doctorate Degree in USA, & yet she is perceived to be corrupt! It’s all about the real Character of a Person on what he/she do when no one else is present. Nearly all educated persons knows the saying: ”Honesty is the best Policy” and yet they don’t put it on practice. Even here in this Forum, those who claimed to be knowledgeable, they continually violate simple rules! Don’t blame the School, blame the WRONG choice of a person if he commits crimes! Name: Mikaela CommentsAfter Sen. Santiago now it's Midas on the hot seat! Expect attacks left and right. I feel so sorry for him already. PNL I think you should spare him. I think he's doing a great job as a spokeperson for the court and not solely for Corona. And what's wrong speaking on behalf of Corona? What did he do wrong? Obviously you guys are certified pro-Admin. and anybody who is associated with GMA/Corona, et al . will be condemned/crucified to the max. Enough provoking already. This forum is a haven for public opinions against Corona. Obviously, no way Corona is getting a fair trial - Already, he is guilty as charged. Name: Vince CommentsOne quick question: who appointed Midas Marquez to his position(s)? If it was Corona who did so, then it stands to reason that Marquez will try his hardest to protect the hand that feeds him. Name: tonyO CommentsMockingmaya said Sen. Miriam D. Santiago is not qualified to be a judge in the UN INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE. How ignorant this tiny pipit is. Hey, Miriam has been elected to this post by the UN member states and I quote “The DFA, citing a report from the Philippine Permanent Mission to the United Nations in New York, said SANTIAGO WAS “OVERWHELMINGLY ELECTED” in elections held by the Assembly of States Parties on December 12 in New York.” LINK What’s your competence to say that she’s not qualified to this post? She’s a pride of Pinas. You owe her an apology. Name: Mikaela CommentsI can’t help comparing Santiago and P’Noy who is the “blabbermouth” between the two. Justifiable for Santiago because she is a woman (common knowledge women talks a lot than men). But a man who talks a lot or “putak ng putak” ang tawag daw doon ay “binabae” (sorry - no offense meant). On the other hand, P’Noy is being accused of being DOUBLE STANDARD” with regards to his shooting buddy’s (Llamas) pirated case. According to him, what Llamas did has nothing to do with his job performance, so isa-sanction na lang daw (so again, justified, right?) if he had gotten away the first time, the second time, the third time(?) asa pa ba kayo!) Name: LPiF CommentsDefensor's demeanor may not fare with ICC at this time, but she should know better. She is not admitted to be a member unless she qualified and earned it! To those who are shooting her down should be proud and support her instead. Does anyone dare to question her integrity? I yet have to hear that in this forum. We need strong honest leaders like her. Her diplomatic prowess may be defective but she has a lot of room for it! Give the lady a chance to correct that! Tsk tsk tsk... Name: EASTERN RIZALKID CommentsMi punto ito. By one Roy Seneres, in INTERAKSYON. "K.I.S.S. IF YOUR HONORS, PLEASE. Is Chief Justice Renato C. Corona good or bad? This is the main issue in the impeachment case of the Chief Justice. Article 7, section 11 of the Constitution is clear: 'The Members of the Supreme Court and Judges of lower courts shall hold office during good behaviour until they reach the age of seventy years or become incapacitated to discharge the duties of their office.' Take note of the phrase: 'during good behaviour.' The simple questions therefore are: Did Corona exhibit good or bad behaviour in failing to file, or in making untruthful entries in, his SALN?...." Name: EASTERN RIZALKID CommentsContinued, from Seneres: "Considering the utter simplicity of the main issue, Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile should have announced at the outset that the impeachment proceedings shall be non-litigious and that the rules of evidence will not be used. In the first place the non-lawyers of the Senate are not familiar with it. Enrile should have forthwith asked Congressman Niel Tupas Jr. to tell the Senate his story in narrative form why the House of Representatives wants the Chief Justice to be dismissed. No more direct; no more cross; no more debates on whether a question is misleading, immaterial, vague or not; and no more trial briefs." (MORE) Name: EASTERN RIZALKID CommentsCont fr SENERES: "After Tupas and his panel are through presenting their story about Corona's bad behaviour, let the Chief Justice explain personally or through counsel, why he should remain in office, again sans debates or objections. After rejoinders and rebuttals the Senators may then decide whether the Chief Justice should be dismissed or not. Due process would not even be an issue since the Chief Justice would not be deprived of his right to be heard and explain his side. In this way, the proceedings could be over in less than a month and we could all move on with our lives." (MORE) Name: EASTERN RIZALKID CommentsCont fr SENERES: "The strict rules of evidence should not have been used in the proceedings. After all, the Chief Justice is not being charged as a murderer or felon or a delinquent debtor in a civil case. We don't need proof beyond reasonable doubt, or preponderance of evidence to conclude that a person's behaviour is good or bad. Holding a government position is not a right but a privilege. Substantial evidence would suffice because Corona’s case is an administrative one, not criminal or civil. The chief administrator of justice in the country is only being tried administratively on whether or not his behaviour was good or bad while in office to warrant his dismissal or retention." Name: EASTERN RIZALKID CommentsCont fr SENERES: "No need to belabour this lengthily. But the Senate is not in estoppel should it want to remedy the situation by declaring in the days to come that the proceedings shall cease to be litigious or technical." [end of article] Name: Andrew Hyner CommentsApologizing for omissions and inaccuracies regarding property assets in the SALNs is only part of the explanation that this country deserves. Of far greater interest is the apparent omission of the funds used. Unless they appeared by magic, simple logic says that the funds used to buy these properties must have been sitting in a bank account not declared in previous SALNs or alternatively the purchases were covered loans of some sort; liabilities similarly undisclosed. Answering one question inevitably poses many others. I am intrigued how someone earning an annual salary of around P600K then comes to own so many properties worth many millions. In all my observations the presumption is the innocence of the Chief Justice so what has he to fear by filling in these gaps in our knowledge. Name: pinax returns, statements of akongmahal CommentsTama si deo and Sen Miriam that the Corona impeachment can be brought to a closure in a week's time. That is: Corona's SALNs tells all ITR including tax returns, statements of assets, liabilities, and net worth. If found far less than Coronas lawful assets (wealth) therefore ill-gotten. He's therefore guilty as charged. Tapos ang boxing. Name: Akang Bakokang CommentsPanahon ko pa, kilala na siya as a mental case. Eh mental case din tayo, kasi, binoto pa ulit naten! Ano ba yan mga apo? Habang napapanood nyo siya, di ba nyo sinisisi ang sarili nyo kung bakit nandyan pa yan hanggang ngayon? Ang matalas pa ang dila at mabilis mang-alipusta! Hay nako, we deserve all of this non-sense! Name: tonyO Comments“Prosecutors admit perjury in CJ Corona’s SALN not high crime” Hence, not impeachable offense. Inaccuracies in the CJ’s SALN is curable hence, not a basis for his impeachment. Note that this is the meat of ARTICLE 2 of the Articles of Impeachment. Trial on this Article is almost completed on Day 11th, February 2nd. Supposedly the strongest charge against CJ Corona. Hehehe this case is almost finished. What will Penoy do now? Somebody said before that if this Impeachment fails, something very bad, psychologically, may happen to Penoy. Well The Day is coming! REPENT!!!!Name: ver laucsap CommentsThe crazy lady should have no place in any government position especially in the Senate. She is setting a very bad example. Name: A. Poli CommentsPnoy could still salvage the impeachment. Declare a revolutionary govt. then appoint all judges. Then repeal the decision to distribute the Hacienda Luisita. Problem Solved! Name: 1 UP CommentsFor all the negatives we heard about Miriam, she is a legend. She has quite a following especially among the younger crowd. "Her wicked and witty criticisms" are her trade mark in the senate. Her academic achievements are to be admired. Mockingmaya hates that. MCD calls her a WITCH; I call her a BITCH. Behind that image, however, is the soul of a feisty lady who lives on a solid code of conduct. What the Corona impeachment process lacks is the interpellative skills of the players on both sides of the aisle. Miriam is showing them the way. Name: James CommentsSen Miriam Santiago is really hated by hundreds but, was voted by millions. And the truth about it is even her fellow "ilongo" in this forum really hated her, because she is more popular and accomplished more than the number 1 hater of the Philippines in this forum. All their accusations against Miriam are nothing but HEARSAY, no evidences to support their accusations. Its all quack, quack, quack...come on show your medical evidences that she is out of her mind...or Biblical references that she is a demon... Name: mockingmaya CommentsRe "De Lima faces disbarment for criticizing Corona." I do believe that some members of the SC are not modern legal thinkers. They are trapped in their own antiquated world of legal jurisprudence---Napoleonic. "Reason & justice" are two aspects to the solution of the problems of corrupt democratic legal institution, which is dominated by Arroyo-packed SC under the leadership of a partial midnight Chief Justice Corona. Filipino people must support genuine democratic leadership: "transparency, integrity, honesty, probability, and so on. What is the essence of an independent judicial institution, if corrupt politicians, tax evaders, plunderers, rapists, & enemies of democracy can elude justice. Name: Sir Raul O Goonsalez CommentsTo Senator Judges of the Impeachment Court .. While the quantity of the stolen item is, the first thing to consider in a robbery or theft cases, , there is a thief because something has been stolen and there was a robbery because there was a robber, If the Thief or Robber Corona has stole or robbed 45 or less or more 25 properties from the Filipino people it matters most. Walang kwenta kung gaano karami o ilan ang ninakaw, kahit isa o marami pa, pagnanakaw pa rin yun at may nanakaw seguradong may magnanakaw. Di totoong ang magnanakaw ay galit sa kapawa magnanakaw, kundi ang mga magnanakaw ay magkakampi saan man o kailanman. Name: Sir Raul O Goonsalez CommentsNakakalungkot sa maga kapwa ko Pilipino, sa lahat ng lugar sa Pilipinas ay may magnanakaw, sa Veterans Memorial Hospital, Reyna ng magnanakaw, kasama hari,sa SC may Chief ng Magnanakaw, syempre may tagapagsalia yan, magnanakaw din, senado namumuno magnanakaw din, hari pa ng smugler sa Cagayan at mga kasamang magnanakaw na nagtutulong tulong para pagtakpan ang lahi nilang magnanakaw. Sa senado bawal ipakita ang mga ninakaw dahil tiyak na mapaparusahan ang magnanakaw, ganyan magmahal ang magnanakaw sa kapwa magnanakaw. Name: mockingmaya CommentsRe "Secretary De Lima faces disbarment for criticizing Corona." Baloney! I do believe in a strong democracy & transparent democratic society, students, journalists & intellectuals can defend themselves against a libel action by SC Justices & politicians if the paper's (or criticism) allegedly libelous editorial constitutes "fair comment" on the public servant's performance of his duties. The Supreme Court held that the First Amendment demanded broader form of privilege for libels of public officials..." (see NY Times Co. v. Sullivan). In fact, the Court's critics, echoing famous dissent by Justice Holmes in Lochner v. NY said that the "nine old men" were simply writing their preferences..." It seems that Phil. Corona's SC is antiquated judicial institution. Name: mockingmaya CommentsI think some Senators will try to get the opinion of Father Bernas who doesn't know the meaning of public trust. This is an insult to Senators-Judges in Congress. An aging constitutionalist, Father Bernas, who doesn't know the meaning of the word dictator (see Father Bernas comment on Pres. Aquino) is worst than dead brilliant legal philosophers who remain immortal on the shelves of academia. 1UP has penumbra of rights to invoke the superiority of his half-educated mentors who continue to produce corrupt politicians & jurists. Name: mockingmaya CommentsCorrection please: I think some Senators will try to get the opinion of Father Bernas about the meaning of public trust..." Thanks! Name: deo CommentstonyO: I read your postings and I'm disappointed at you again. When you posted the 3 Real property pricing principles, hindi ka ba kinikilabutan to believe that Megaworld's properties are in the lowest tier? Baka sakali pa kung sa Tondo o kaya sa Paranaque (near the airport) but in Taguig city? Come on tonyO, you are smarter than that to think that your arguments are selling in islas de ladrones (phram MCD, ha?). Megaworld might sue you for downgrading their properties. hehehe. Name: mockingmaya CommentsJustice Cuevas defense team & Senators-Judges must educate themselves that ethical public servants, either elected or appointed, or people measure their conduct "not by rules but by basic moral or ethical principles such as fairness, honesty, integrity and so on." You can't insult the collective wisdom of the Filipino people & the young generation of Filipinos who have the capacity for critical analysis or reflective judgment. Why you must have trustee that you can trust? One rational answer: to save your children from moral pestilence, illiteracy, drug & sex trafficking, poverty, modern slavery, & to stop destroying yourselves & wasting your cultural heritage. Name: deo CommentsIn the news: "Did Corona Commit A High Crime?". Shirley! As I said in my postings, 4 out of 9 complaints can be salvage by the prosecutions if worse come to worsed. In fact all 9 complaints are high crimes. They might have bungled in presenting their evidence and arguments but the documentary evidence speaks for itself. For instance, the acquisition of high priced properties and not including them in the SALN is not the proof of graft but the means how the properties were acquired. After all, witnesses can always be recalled in the stand. The second time around may shed more lights to the prosecutions case. Name: mockingmaya CommentsIt seems that the Philippine Supreme Court is a defender of modern slavery & corrupt regime (see Sec. De Lima faces disbarment for criticizing a partial Justice Corona). Freedom to critique & freedom to choose between two opposing ideas or things & other innate rights are the key-stone of democracy & humanity. Freedom to criticize corrupt politicians & partial judges is an "inborn quality of every man in virtue of which he ought to be his own master by right (sui juris)." Name: mockingmaya CommentsRe "Sec. De Lima faces disbarment for criticizing a partial Justice Corona." Baloney! The Filipino people should educate themselves: "To listen to the clamor, one should think that Moses from Mount Sinai had declared that God Himself had decreed that if and when a Supreme Court... was to be sacred. All that is left to do now is to declare that the Supreme Court was immaculately conceived; that is infallible, that it is the spiritual descendant of Moses...& its numbers stand for the Trinity." Name: Manuel C. Diaz CommentsAs I said before the 188 idiots in congress who railroaded the impeachment article are now reaping the whirlwind. Had these idiota deliberated on the article of impeachment and did a research there could have been minimal technical problems. However, even if the Senator Judge jury and executioner will acquit the Crown of Thorns which I really doubt considering the election next year Corona is already a damage merchandise. Name: mockingmaya CommentsSenators-Judges in the impeachment trial of Justice Corona should hit the books on legal ethics & legal philosophy or political theory & at the same time educate themselves (particularly Senator Lapid & Senator Joker Arroyo) on what constitutes impeachable offense. You can't protect the fundamental rights of the less-fortunate, less-educated & poor Filipinos from the capricious exercise of judicial power by a partial jurist like Justice Corona who is willing to defraud the government of his ill-gotten wealth. Clearly, some judges like Judge Nolasco are willing to meddle in politics by rallying other lawyers to their personal interest & political convictions (see Corona's political rally & prayer) in front of the SC building). Name: Mikaela CommentsPNL - FOR __TH TIME Pls. be FAIR. You guys LEFT THIS OUT ON PURPOSE? I can’t help comparing Santiago and P’Noy who is the “blabbermouth” between the two. Justifiable for Santiago because she is a woman (common knowledge women talks a lot than men). But a man who talks a lot or “putak ng putak” ang tawag daw doon ay “binabae” (sorry - no offense meant). On the other hand, P’Noy is being accused of being DOUBLE STANDARD” with regards to his shooting buddy’s (Llamas) pirated case. According to him, what Llamas did has nothing to do with his job performance, so isa-sanction na lang daw (so if he had gotten away with it the first time, the second time, the third time(?) asa pa kayo!) Name: WDC CommentsYou can call Sen. Miriam Defensor Santiago any names but she is better than the majority of the Philippine senators who are inept and brainless. I would call her "Bonifacia" who is not afraid to tell like it is. Name: 220 Lange CommentsThe Alphabet Man: It does not matter if 45 properties or half are owned. It is how much they were, when they were acquired, and under what circumstances were they acquired. The core of the whole argument is if. Corona was honest and never lied. Remember the articles of impeachment carries the phrase of "betrayal of public trust" Name: 220 Lange CommentsYou don't judge a person by their looks. Not all angelic looking lady comes from heaven; hell makes them too. You have to judge Miriam on the substance of her comments. This. Ilonga minces no words. Her tone is terrible her language is caustic, and her behavior is condescending. Miriam to me is a fighter and not a lover Name: kali CommentsLPif; “AQUINO's act in turning over millions in pork barrel funds to his political allies in House of Representatives to induce them into signing the impeachment complaint against CJ Corona even without reading the Articles of Impeachment verily falls in the category of political corruption, which a mere law student would tell you constitutes bribery!” I second your view Phre, but this 188 Tongressmen always says “try it there are 188 of us against a few of you, your complaint will not prosper”. The system of government got to be change. I think parliamentary form of government is better. Look around, countries around PHL with this form of government prosper while PHL is going nowhere. It proved that their system is better than ours. Too much politics in PHL and it’s not fun anymore! Name: 220 LAnge CommentsMike of Japan: Miriam is more schooled than most Pinoys. She graduated with honors and she had the opportunity to enroll in US university. Did you? I think you are being biased. Name: Ron CommentsShe looks like a female Moammar Khadaffy brandishing an invisible machete. Is she also insane like him? Name: HMS CommentsREPLY TO KALI: You want to remove or limit my free speech for calling Santiago ugly? Boy, you are a natural born loser! In the first place who started the name calling? As ugly and repulsive as she is Santiago called people "cretins", "sub-mentals, "lowest form of life", among others. Did I offend you? Sorry, I did not know you are so 'decente'. The problem with people like you is they enable fugly people like Santiago to endure. Compared to Edward you are a big bore. At least Edward tells it like it is. You called me gago (and that's not name-calling?). Listen, hypocrite, in My Philippines, in MY time we call people like you TANGO! Tanga na, gago pa! Name: Manuel C. Diaz CommentsTo 1UP in the Philippines aka Islas de ladrones the witches do not use broomstick to fly. They can fly without the aid of anything the only problem they cannot make up their minds so they fly only half of their body MANANANGAL. The witch has to go back to be whole again is that not typical of the diaspora we always want to go back or is this another manifestation that we Filipinos cannot make up our minds..BTW Miriam Defensor is from Iloilo next door neighbor is Capiz the land of the witches who knows maybe Miriam came from Capiz. Name: Lito Lapido nalito Comments"Cash advance"at "Loan" Ayto ang difference, yung extrang $40k na dala nang misis mo sa state ay cash advance (secret amt na nabuking) at ang $10k ay loan (pang merienda ni kumander) Ngayon kumuha ka nang magaling na abugado bahala na syang mag magic sa numero. Ask the defense lawyers for advise kung papano pag ba-balik baliktarin ang kaso nang wifey, looks to me they are expert in hide and seek crime cases. As a last resort, you have our man Edward in las Vegas to take care of things mafia style. Name: tonyO CommentsPhreng Deo said "Is The P11 Million Cash Advance Fictitious?..." Parekoy, news report disclosed that Mrs. Cristina R. Corona received P34.8 as compensation for the parcel of land owned by BGEI, their family-owned corporation, which was expropriated by the City government of Manila LINK Mrs. Cristina R. Corona is the assignee of the BGEI shares of stock held by her parents and the trustee of the P34.8 Million received from the City government of Manila. This is the source of the P11 Million cash advance of the respondent and spouse. This is proof beyond reasonable doubt that it was not illegally taken from government funds.Name: EASTERN RIZALKID CommentsUPDATES ON CHEAT JUSTICE. Fr columnist Jake Makasaet, ABANTE, o2-04-12: " Hawak namin ang photo copy ng dokumento na nagpapatunay na noong Oct. 31, 2008 nagdeposito si Renato Corona, na noon ay associate justice ng Korte Suprema, ng $700,000 sa isang bangko.

I think article 2 is a strong case… When it comes to ill gotten wealth, conventional wisdom tells you to link SALN, ITR, and bank activities or record of Corona and family. One my even go further to the US to confirm if Corona's daughter paid taxes to the IRS in connection with the purchase of a house in CA…” Dre, ill gotten wealth is not covered by ARTICLE 2 of the Articles of Impeachment. Inquiry on IRS records if the daughter of CJ Corona paid US income taxes is not only a fishing for evidence but VERY IRRELEVANT. Anong pakialam ni CJ Corona sa bagay na2? With more reason that your suggestion will be trashed by the Court. Name: Kanada CommentsI heard someone say that the financial crisis that started in Sept. 2008 was NOT REAL??? In fact it is so real that it also alarmed and affected Philippine banks and mortgage lenders. Hence property developers such as MegaWorld were also alarmed because most of their clients who buy their high end properties are foreigners. If these foreigners do not have the cash to buy their properties then they will lose big time. See -> LINK ; LINK ; LINK ; LINKName: aries CommentsInggit lang kayo ni madam Miriam, tama yong ginawa nya, bobo kasi yong prosekosyon kaya pinagalitan , puro palpak at ayaw pang umamin sa 45 property na talagang sila ang kumalat sa publiko Name: Kanada Comments10 million dollars discount in a situation when a global financial crisis has started, the condominium property is damaged and nearing the years end (fourth quarter of a full year which is Oct to Dec), real estate companies would like to add or increase their sales to add to their year end total sales volume is perfectly NORMAL. An idiot cannot argue that it is a bribe. It just happened a JUDGE or SC JUSTICE was the one purchasing it. I dare anyone stop any public official from Policeman, Congressman, Senator, or any cabinet member from buying anything that is ON SALE or with a DISCOUNT from any company Name: Kanada CommentsAnyone can get a discount. Why is it so HARD for these idiot prosecutors to understand that anyone is allowed to get a discount and also a large discount at certain situations? Ask them if they have bought anything in their lives on a discount. When a store has a sale, they give discounts. Cars are bought even at half price when they are slightly damaged and are last years models. Real Estate companies can give the option of selling their products (houses or condos) at a larger discount when it is determined that the UNIT will be hard to sell at a certain time (financial crisis), or if the property has a defect or damaged, or is high end and has limited buyers. Name: kanada CommentsTo 1UP: They cannot pin the witness down. In fact it backfired on them. LOL. 10 million discount is a discount NOT BRIBE. Didn't you watch the proceedings? Megaworld even showed two cases where they lost big time. 47 million pesos on two cases where sc justice corona was also sitting and the judgment was against their case. One case before the purchase of the property and one case after the purchase of the property. So how can you call that a bribe? When Megaworld lost the cases? Lol. Naghahanap lang sila ng palusot kasi pahiya na yun prosecution. Name: tonyO CommentsMarty said Rep. Niel Tupas and his law firm has been the main legal counsel and representing the Cojuangcos in their Hacienda Luisita problems. So this is the link why Penoy wants to remove JC Corona from the Supreme Court and replace him with a friendly CJ! In order to reverse the SC decision which awarded the Hacienda Luisita land to the FARM WORKERS BENEFICIARIES. Then, impeach Penoy for mal-administration, which is a “high Crime and impeachable offense LINK Tama ang reports that the real contention in this Impeachment case is THE HACIENDA LUISITA, sanamagan, sanamabits @#^%$#@.Name: LPiF CommentsMegaWorld witness said there were several reasons why the Unit sold to Corona was discounted; a) 2008 Economic difficulties b) The unit was defective caused by the storm (but couldn't name the storm) c) It was unfinished at that time. On the contrary he said several interested buyers, more then 10, (during economic difficulties?) were very interested in buying it, but couldn't give a reason why it was sold to Corona with such a huge discount. Could have it been sold to the others with the same consideration? Why was the damage only occurred at the Corona unit? P10mil cost of damage is really hard to justify! Villar 40% advertised discount statement would never hold water either! Tsk tsk tsk...

Name: tonyO CommentsAs I See It said Penoy’s turning over millions in pork barrel to his political allies in the House of Representatives “CONSTITUTES BRIBERY” which is an impeachable offense. Another impeachable act is using their HACIENDA LUISITA counsel, Rep. Niel Tupas, to invent charges in order to impeach CJ Corona and replace him with a more friendly Chief Justice in order to reverse the SC decision which awarded the HLI Land to the HLI FARM WORKERS BENEFICIARIES. This is mal-administration by the President which is an impeachable act. LINK Strike 2 na ang mga impeachable acts vs Penoy even before he finishes his term by year 2016.Other Comments Name: tonyO CommentsMockingmaya said I did not quote completely Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes. What a big liar tiny pipit is. Read this: "A word is not a crystal, transparent and unchanged, it is the skin of a living thought and may vary greatly in color and content according to the circumstances and the time in which it is used." - Oliver Wendell Holmes. Pa cite-cite si pipit ke Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes akala mo alam niya ang sinabsab ni Holmes. So I quoted this phrase from Holmes classic decision and asked him to explain what it meant. Instead, he answered “INTERPRETIVISM”. Having exposed his ignorance, I told him Holmes explained the term “INCOME” is dynamic in meaning, hence, “Stock Dividend” is not realized taxable income. Anongseymo? Name: GFJBHEDF CommentsOFFSET. 15 Abu Sayaffs knocked out by air strike in Sulu. Now, how do you think that happened? PAF has no stealth surveillance capacity. GI Joe is based in northern Australia; porting in Singapore, and the Philippines and the Spratlys are in range of those unseen/ hard to detect, spy UAVs. They spied on Bin Laden in Pakistan from the sky quite sometimes from Afghanistan b4 they took him out. China is seething, but Chinese intrusion into the ASEAN Spratlys, is passé. unless US leaves the scene, then China will not be back harassing its neighbors anytime soon. Do you think P'Noy's current gig with Korea's Grace Lee up and up, or a calculated gimmick to throw the public off, and soften the impact of an expected failed CJ impeachment that was doomed from the git go? Name: kali Comments1/2 Alarming news, Ford Motor Company is moving to Thailand, abandoning PHL due to high operational cost. The reason is due to high cost of electricity. If this problem can’t be corrected, the prospect of inducing foreign businesses to the country will doom to fail. Alternative source of energy to generate sufficient electricity for industry should be in the top list of the government infrastructure development. In Hawaii we have wind turbine generator driver, geo thermal from volcano, photo voltaic energy harness from the sun. All of these sum up to substantial independency from fossil fuel. In PHL, additional dams can be possibly built for hydroelectric plant, geo thermal potential energy is there and can be built by private industry Name: kali CommentsWind turbine generator can also be built by private industry, and the most significant source of potential energy is the gas reserve in Spratly Island. Building the aforementioned infrastructure surely would give tremendous benefits to the country, both in lower electricity cost and plenty of jobs for the people. It follows the saying “hitting two birds with one stone”. If the government is serious about solving the existing problem where 4.5 people experienced some kind of hunger last year, and foreign businesses abandoning the country, it is imperative that government action must be done now. Later, when foreign investors come to the country in droves, and hunger is not a problem anymore, then we can proudly say that it is indeed more fun in the Philippines. MABUHAY!

With all their imposing temples and the life style of their rank and file, who knows where are all the money are coming from in sustaining these grandiosity.

The Impeachment Court is a Corrupt Court, it forbids the presentation of evidence which would prove the guilt of the Theft Justice. No matter what the prosecution does to pin the Thief Justice, the Corrupt Impeachment Court will acquit the Thief. Just get ready for a next people power, its the best judge to convict the thieves, just like the deposed ex president.

Name: mockingmaya CommentsI do agree with Judge Mupas that Gloria Arroyo should be put behind regular bars for security reason. Gloria Arroyo should not be allowed to attend the funeral of the late Iloilo Congressman Iggy's babaero Arroyo for security reason or to prevent any unavoidable circumstances to embarrass or undermine the legitimacy of President Aquino's administration. Hospital arrest is an insult to "equal justice before the law." Moreover, "the presidential pardoning power is excepted in cases of impeachment, for example, impeachment of partial justices." Name: mockingmaya CommentsAccording to Senator Enrile, "you can't kill a corporation." Sen. Enrile should go beyond corporation's functions in a "super-symbolic economy or the strategic location of the firm in the web-work of mosaics & meta-mosaics." Senator Enrile should not ignore the "wealth-producing system, which is money in the bank." Why not follow Justice Corona's bank account, which constitutes the power of his pocket to buy undeclared properties? Even large business or sub-corporation have been "stripped of some of its traditional reasons for being." Why? It has something to do with "high-powered information technology." Do you think that defrauding the government of its legitimate power of taxation doesn't constitutes "high crimes"? Baloney! Name: mockingmaya CommentsCorrection please: doesn't constitute...Thanks! Name: kali CommentsAssociated Press News; “The remains of the Jemaah Islamiyah terror network leader Malaysian Zulkifli bin Hir, also known as Marwan was killed per Lt. Col. Randolp Cabangbang. But the body was not found. If the initial report proves incorrect, it would cause partial embarrassment for the PHL military. The U.S. offered $5 million bounty for his capture. Per Cabangbang the announcement was based on information from informant, and further on, he said the body could have been obliterated by the blast”. Well, no body no $5 million.

"Talking birds have varying degrees of intelligence and communication capabilities: some, like the crow, a highly intelligent bird, are only able to mimic a few words and phrases, whilst some budgerigars have been observed to have a vocabulary of almost two thousand words. The Hill Myna is a commonly kept pet, well known for its talking ability – whilst its relative, the European Starling, is also adept at mimicry.[1].

I do agree that President Aquino has an independent judgment to retain his political adviser.

Name: kali Comments½ In the news, Sa harap ng mga natanggap na batikos, nag-alok si presidential political adviser Ronald Llamas na magbitiw na sa puwesto matapos lumabas sa media ang kanyang litrato na bumibili ng mga piniratang DVD sa isang mall sa Quezon City. Nauna nang sinabi ni Pangulong Aquino na walang kinalaman sa trabaho ang kanyang nagawa. “Ibig sabihin kung nag tenda o bumili c Llamas ng shabu after work OK lang, hindi naman kinalaman sa trabaho ah?” Name: kali Comments2/2 SUSMARYUSEP, there is no question that right after he bought the illegal DVD he is into corruption already coz he knows that the product is against the law, illegal, but he ignored it. He should have stayed away or should reprimand them not to sell pirated DVD. Gush! he is the face of PNoy outside Malacañang, did he knew that?. By not accepting Llamas resignation, PNoy essentially admitted that it’s OK to be corrupt if you are under his wings. Is this the “matuwid na daan or Baloktot hangang sa dulo ng kabukiran”. I don’t think it’s fun in the Philippines, HELP UNCLE! Name: GFJBHEDF CommentsDear As I See It, This is how I saw it resolved: Gibo, Danding's nephew, 2010 presidential candidate pissed uncle Danding by leaving Danding's Nationalista party for LAKAS-KAMPI-CMD, that endorsed Gibo for president. Danding's wife, Grechen, was also pissed with Gibo, & said she will support any other presidential candidate, but not Gibo. P'Noy's sister Kris seized the opportunity, & appealed uncle Danding to help P'Noy. Result, Danding's daughter, Liza Cojuangco Cruz and Kris together campaign for P'Noy. Name: kali Comments1 UP; Pal, there is only one answer to Llamas buying pirated DVD. It can only be right or wrong, but can never be both. Knowing that pirated DVD is illegal to be sold but still he bought 40 pcs at least, therefore, his action was tantamount to condoning illegality. He is no Grace Lee that we see PNoy always smiling when he is beside her, but he is bad image in PNoy’s administration. I still say, PNoy should let him go!
