Look at how MALICIOUS and UNFAIR can the prosecutors get in the impeachment trial of Chief Justice Renato Corona.
After boasting in media that they have 45 titles to properties owned or can be traced to Corona, chief prosecutor Niel Tupas Jr. said they have decided to ignore Transfer Certificates of Title in the names of the Chief Justice’s in-laws and other individuals in proving that he had more than just the five properties he has admitted owning.
After DEMONIZING Corona and DESTROYING his character in media, the prosecution is now implying ‘it may not be really 45 properties, people.’
This can be nothing less than INCOMPETENCE THROUGH CHARACTER ASSASSINATION and SHAMELESS ARROGANCE.
Tupas even had the nerve to try and save his face by saying it was the Land Registration Authority (LRA) which listed 45 titles when he asked for a list of properties that could be traced to Corona and his family.
Ten is to one, Tupas WON’T APOLOGIZE in any manner whatsoever for initially claiming that Corona had 45 properties. A million to one, he and the rest of the prosecution will move Heaven and Earth to block attempts by the defense to have LRA officials summoned in the trial.
And in an obvious bid to intensify their mind-conditioning efforts in media, the prosecution seems to have two new but unofficial speakers besides the three officially designated congressmen.
One is Bayan Muna Party-list Rep. Neri Colmenares who accused Corona ’s lawyers of unwarranted use of the Rules of Court to delay the trial.
Take note, guys: impeachment court presiding Senator-Judge Juan Ponce Enrile HAS NEVER DECLARED a similar observation since the trial began. He did not detail the supposed unwarranted use by the defense of the rules of court.
Colmenares should remember that the trial is NOT BEING CONDUCTED FOR HIS pleasure, or those of his allies.
The other is Mandaluyong Rep. Neptali Gonzales Jr.
Gonzales admitted that government officials could declare a property’s fair market value, zonal value or acquisition price in the SALN, adding the acquisition price was recommended.
As I’ve pointed out in an earlier blog, you dispose of a property only at a profit. So if the acquisition price was declared before the sale, naturally there would a discrepancy in values.
Gonzales described the evidence presented so far by the prosecution as ‘damning.’ But remember, guys, Gonzales IS NOT A JUDGE of the impeachment court, nor a member of the prosecution team.
He doesn’t have any right to categorically, and publicly, judge on any proof presented at the trial.
Gonzales said Corona should explain how his wealth suddenly jumped when he became a magistrate of the high court.
Obviously, Corona ’s defense team can’t do that yet even if they want to because the prosecution is NOT EVEN FINISHED YET with their cross-examination of witnesses.
Instead of the defense, it’s HIS ALLIES in the prosecution whom Gonzales should rush.

In the essence of fairness, dapat lahat ng nasa kampo ng proseuction and pro-yellow camps, mag divulge ng SALNs nila. Hindi yung kalaban lang nila ang pinupuntirya.

Hope truth prevails, but humans have a way to circumvent results because of brilliance...or because of dire need? Fear? Or sheer gross pride? Intoxicating power?

Bakit ka matatakot kung wala ka namang ginagawang anomaliya? You don't even need to defend too much if you are not hiding something! Padaliin na 'yan.

Thank goodness for this blog. We should look beyond the Inquirer's biased reporting. I believe Corona is guilty and does not deserve to be Chief Justice. Facts are just too clear and the defense is using underhanded tactics to confuse the people.

I’m just wondering why Pnoy seems like a spokesman of the prosecution. He's always talking. Speaking of the senator-judges, I admire Sen. Lacson and Sen. Santiago. The former has the "balls". May prinsipyo, di pwedeng diktahan. The latter has the brains, so witty and the wisdom.

Tutoo iyan. Kahit konting improvement, wala eh! Lalong naghihirap mga tao. Sana iyun muna unahin niya bago yung mga kalaban sa pulitika. Saka iyang surveys na yan, tanga lang maniniwala diyan – 1,200 persons vs 94 million? 30
