Lady Justice finally rules Chief Justice Corona innocent
Monument
To correct that injustice the current Congress should pass a resolution apologizing to Corona's family, and order a monument to him at the Supreme Court's headquarters. I would think President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. would support such a resolution: He was one of only three senators (out of the 23) who voted against Corona's removal.
The second most responsible for this evil deed was a major section of media, most of the broadsheets and even journalists respected by the new generation, as well as the US-funded institutions that were active in the impeachment in demonizing Corona: Rappler.com, the Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism, Center for Media Freedom and Responsibility, and VERA Files. These media outlets molded Filipinos' minds to conceal the deep injustice of Corona's impeachment, which Sen. Joker Arroyo said was a "political assassination."
Marcos in explaining his decision to acquit Corona was bold enough to blame media for Corona's removal: "At the expense of the sub judice rule, evidence had been presented to the public on several occasions even before they were formally offered before this court. Worse, information was grossly exaggerated with the apparent intention to predispose the public mind against the chief justice. Notable examples would be the Land Registration Authority report with the discredited list of 45 properties and the unauthenticated AMLC report claiming that the chief justice allegedly owned $10 million."
Marcos' statement in explaining his "acquit" decision was extraordinarily prescient: "When the furor dies down and this political storm has subsided, I know that like Lady Justice, we shall find solace in the fact that this decision, though maybe not popular, was fair, impartial and just."
Karma
Perhaps that decision was Marcos' huge, good karma which was handed over to him 10 years later, the highest post in the land. Indeed his decision to vote to acquit Corona made me review — and later revise — my antagonistic views of his father and the martial law era which I had held since I was a communist cadre in my youth.
As unforgivingly reprehensible as the removal of Corona, has been Rappler CEO Maria Ressa's touring the world, claiming that the libel charge against her for which she has been convicted was just one of the past administration's attempts to suppress her and her news website.
The incontrovertible reality is that the libelous article was part of Rappler's campaign to demonize Corona, by alleging that a rich, "notorious" businessman lent him an armored SUV. After 10 years of trial, with American money funding over P50 million of her legal expenses and PR efforts to demonize the country, that allegation has been destroyed, ground to a fine sand by the court.
Yet Ressa has been so arrogant, thinking she is beyond the Philippine legal system. She has refused to this day, to take down the libelous article. -excerpt

Arroyo, Marcos: Aquino administration used
‘naked power’ to secure Corona conviction
Voting to acquit Chief Justice Renato Corona, Senators Joker Arroyo and Ferdinand Marcos Jr. on Tuesday accused the Aquino administration of using its “naked power” and mobilizing all its resources to secure a conviction.
Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago, in her most strident outburst yet in casting one of three principled votes of not guilty, called on God “to strike me dead,” rather than hear arguments of her colleagues for conviction that Corona dishonestly submitted a statement of assets, liabilities and net worth (SALN).
“Impeachment is a political process, not a political assassination. An impeachment aspires to be a judicial proceeding that makes imperative that it stick to judicial rules. An impeachment must ever uphold the due process that no citizen, high or low, can be denied,” Arroyo said in explaining his vote. -excerpt

PBBM okays P4.16 billion deal to import China fertilizer
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. approved the importation of cheap fertilizer worth at least P4.16 billion from China that will be given to farmers for a free as a subsidy in a bid to support them while lowering food prices.
PTIC President and Chief Executive Officer Emmie Liza Perez-Chiong said her agency plans to buy an initial 150,000 metric tons of fertilizer this year from China at $470 per MT, for a total of $70.5 million or P4.16 billion, through a government-to-government arrangement.
The purchase is significantly lower from the current price of $650 per MT.
“I will also ask LandBank to allow DA to use its idle warehouses for the stockpiling of fertilizers,” the President said.
The DA has allotted P4.1 billion for subsidies to buy fertilizers to be given for free to farmers.
With the much lower cost, DA will be able to buy around 2.277 million bags of urea to be given to farmers through farmers’ groups and cooperatives. -excerpt
