    Why CJ Corona must not be convicted by the Senate?

    1. On the issue of bias decisions in favor of CGMA:

    CJ Corona is entitled only to one vote. The decisions of the Supreme Court cannot be attributed to one justice alone owing to its nature of being a collegial body. Nonetheless, if voting patterns is considered, there are far more decisions of the court in which CJ Corona did not vote in favor of GMA than those favorable to the former president.

    2. On the issue of non-disclosure of dollar accounts in his SALN:

    CJ Corona did not declare his dollar accounts because he believed “in good faith” in the confidentiality of foreign deposits as provided by the laws on banking secrecy and foreign currency deposit units (FCDU). If he did so, then it would contravene the very law that Congress itself has passed. If there is conflict or ambiguity in the interpretation of the law, it is Congress itself that is to be blamed. Reliance in good faith in the law that Congress passed is not a crime. You cannot put an ordinary man behind bars for a law that in itself is ambiguous.

    3. On the issue of betrayal of public trust:

    Is reforming the bar exams to set minimum standards for admission to the law profession betrayal of public trust?

    Is de-congesting court dockets and promoting alternative dispute resolution to avoid arduous case trial betrayal of public trust?

    Is voting for the distribution of the Hacienda Luisita to the farmers betrayal of public trust?

    Is voting in favor of farmers in the case of coco levy funds betrayal of public trust?

    Is voting to protect an ordinary man's right to travel and presumption of innocence betrayal of public trust?

    Is signing a waiver to disclose dollar accounts of the CJ himself and all Congressmen that has set the standard of transparency in public service betrayal of public trust?

    If it is, then our senators have a wrong understanding of public trust. If they convict the Chief Justice on the ground of these baseless allegations then there is reason to believe that in this nation, tuwid na daan means: ang baluktot tinutuwid at ang tuwid binabaluktot.

    STOP DIRTY POLITICS. This impeachment trial is not a venue for selfish political ambitions.

    STOP PERSECUTION. Let us not make the impeachment trial a way to harass justices of the Supreme Court and thus undermine Independence of the Philippine Judiciary.

    STOP YELLOW RULE. Once and for all, set this nation free!

    Free from the control of very few wealthy hacienderos while the rest of the nation is in poverty!

    Free from blind hero worship of the Yellow clan who did nothing for this country except to ensure their class survival.

    Free from the bondage of Yellow media manipulation that ensures continued ignorance of the Filipino masses.

    Ang Laban ni CJ Corona, ay Laban ng karaniwang mamamayan.
    Ang Laban ni CJ Corona, ay Laban ng Bayan.

    Wag nating hayaan na sa yugtong ito ng ating kasaysayan,
    Dilaw at hindi Batas ang manalaytay.

    Why CJ Corona is definitely a threat to PNoy and his clan?

    -November 22, 2011, the Supreme Court ordered the distribution of Hacienda Luisita.

    -January 24, 2012, Supreme Court promulgated decision affirming the Sandiganbayan antigraft court’s decision awarding to the government the 24-percent San Miguel Corp. (SMC) shares that were bought with coconut levy funds also required the government to use its share only for the benefit of the farmers and the coconut industry.

    These and many more decisions were promulgated by the SC under the leadership of CJ Corona. These decisions are patently against PNoy and his clan.

    Keep CJ Corona out and all these SC decisions will be reversed.

    History repeats itself.

    During the time of Marcos, the Cojuancos were under fire. When Cory became President, the Cojuancos find solace.
    This solace continued during the time of Pres. Ramos, an ally of Cory.
    During the time of PGMA, the Cojuancos were again under fire. PNoy run for President to save his family. PNoy won. But contrary to his belief, the Judiciary behaved not in the manner that it did during his mom's time.
    If a new CJ would be appointed, the Cojuancos would again find solace and this solace will be maintained for another six years should another ally of the Cojuancos win as President.

    Come to think of it, my dear TSIKOTEERS... We have been fooled once, twice... shall we allow ourselves to be fooled again?

    pano ang procedure mamaya?? 3 beses ba boboto? 1 vote for each articles of impeachment??

    'It's up to senator-judges to explain vote' - The Philippine Star » News » Headlines

    “But if the person impeached in such Articles of Impeachment shall be convicted upon any of said articles by the votes of two-thirds of all the members, the Senate shall proceed to pronounce judgment of conviction,” according to the rules.

    This means that if the Chief Justice is convicted on Article 2, then voting on Articles 3 and 7 would no longer have to be taken.

    Under the rules, Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile, the presiding officer of the court, will cast the last vote on each article.

    “Is Corona morally fit to remain as chief justice of the Supreme Court? The damning revelations go to the very core. Pagkatao ang pinaguusapan natin dito,” lead prosecutor Iloilo Rep. Niel Tupas Jr. said.

    Question: Are the Congressmen who signed the impeachment complaint clean enough to accuse him of the crime they themselves are guilty of? Those who plea for justice must come in court with clean hands.

    May mga kaso ng katiwalian ang buong angkan ni Tupaz na nasa Ombudsman at SC kaya yan nagkakaganyan.

    The representatives who impeached Corona are the very ones guilty of the crime they accused him of. And yet we let them scott-free? Ganito ba ang gobyerno? Ang matuwid binabaluktot ang baluktot tinutuwid?

    isang KATUTAK ANG MGA kaso nila sa ombudsman, lower court at Suprme Court... from graft and corruption to violence against women and children... serious physical detention, grave abuse of authority....etc. etc...

    ^^ then let them have their day in court. Yun ang mahirap eh. Dadamay na kung meron na nahuli sayo. You are nothing better than a rat. Put together a complanit againts them. Para lang sakin, take down the ones on top first to send a message that no one is untouchable.

    If everyone is doing it, it does not follow na its right. At least the government is trying one by one to eliminate the bad seeds.

    It is better to see a leader who deliver results rather than a leader whose popularity is kept afloat by his blue-sky promises that never gain ground. The Supreme Court under the leadership of CJ Corona initiated reforms in the conduct of the bar exams, decongested clogged dockets of the courts, and rendered decisions upholding the rights of the farmers. What about PNoy who does nothing but to pass the buck on his predecessor, flaunts his showbiz politics on media, and cares nothing about the declining economy.

    Even a common man of reasonable mind would know the difference between the two except those of course who blindly follows the yellow propaganda and marches with their yellow president towards the yellow path.

Impeachment against CJ Corona..
