congress finally impeaches ombudsman Guttierez

[vito corleone]

Dapat dyan kay Merci kasuhan pa rin kahit nag-resign na. Hindi pwede yung for the sake of 'reconciliation' and 'closure' ay kalimutan na ang lahat tutal naman nag-resign na. Para ko nang nakikita, tatakbo yan for congresswoman sa next elections panalo pa yan! Ewan ko ba tayong mga Pinoy sobrang bait wala na sa lugar!

I read something from Jairus Bondoc's column about GMA's friendship w/ OMG, that Arroyo visited (at 2AM in her Sta Ana residence) and cried with Gutierrez for two hours on the night she was impeached.

Grabe....ganun pala sila ka-close. Ano kaya? Naiyak si GMA, sa takot?

She quit because if she didn't, GMA's wrongdoings would've been exposed during the impeachment sessions.

ILOILO CITY, Philippines—The prospect of her own people testifying against her could have finally pushed Ombudsman Merceditas Gutierrez to quit, the chair of the 11-member impeachment prosecution panel said Saturday.

Iloilo Rep. Niel Tupas Jr. said the panel had been considering at least seven senior officials and employees of the Office of the Ombudsman to testify at Gutierrez’s impeachment trial that would have started after the Senate resumes session on May 9.

“They felt that it is the right time for them to come out and tell the truth. They have vital insider information that could have been explosive,” Tupas told the Inquirer in a phone interview.

The lawmaker said that the seven included a ranking official who had expressed willingness to testify, and that the others were seeking assurance of their families’ security if they took the witness stand.

“The senior official could have been a surprise witness because of the official’s rank,” said Tupas, who chairs the House committee on justice that heard the impeachment complaints against Gutierrez.
