PNOY, CHIZ CAST DOUBT ON IMPEACH TRIAL'S FAIRNESS!

A huge cloud of doubt has just been cast on the integrity and impartiality of the upcoming impeachment trial of Chief Justice Renato Corona.

Thanks to no less than President Aquino himself and to Sen. Francis Escudero.

Escudero has admitted that the President had talked to him for an hour last week. As expected, he claimed that their chat never touched on the impeachment trial.

But before anyone takes Escudero’s word as gospel truth, think about these, SERIOUSLY:

Pnoy has been the most aggressive accuser of Corona long before the 188 congressmen voted to impeach the Chief Justice. Escudero is one of the judges.

The accuser talks to a judge for an hour JUST DAYS before the trial of the man he wants penalized.  

PURELY FOR PLEASANTRIES? As the kids say nowadays, HALER!

Other than Escudero’s own words, guys, we have NO ASSURANCE that Pnoy did not influence him to vote for the conviction of Corona.

Which would be GROSSLY UNFAIR any way you look at it.

It’s also shocking, if not SUSPICIOUS, why Escudero talked to Pnoy at this time even if their personal friends. Escudero is a lawyer.He should have known, and even advised Pnoy that their fairness and integrity iwill be highly suspect once the people learn of their conversation.

Take note people,

Escudero’s admission comes at a time when reports are alleging that Pnoy has started talking to the senator-judges and offering them bribes just to convict Corona (which Malacanang, of course, has vehemently denied). 

Let’s all be EXTRA VIGILANT once the impeachment trial starts, boys and girls! 

Let’s listen to EVERY WORD Escudero will say, and watch EVERY MOVE he’ll make, to find out for ourselves if he and Pnoy really didn’t talk about the Corona impeachment.

One thing I’ll tell you, Escudero’s admission shows the height of HYPOCRISY and ARROGANCE of Pnoy.

Just days ago, Pnoy ordered his men and political allies to stay away from the senator-judges purportedly to show that Malacanang isn’t influencing the outcome of the trial.

Then, he SHAMELESSLY does the CONTRARY!  As if saying, ‘Even if I had disallowed it, I CAN DO ANYTHING, I’M THE BOSS!’

I wonder if Pnoy has heard of the phrase leadership by example. 30

Nice blogs. It’s a good decision  on the part of Pnoy to jam cellular phone signal in Metro Manila.

We can’t control yon, Boyet. Pray that all is well.

Sir Boyet, ang sinusuportahan ay yung nagsasabi ng katotohanan at maganda ang pananaw sa kapaligiran! Saludo po ako sa inyo! Kahit anong pananakot ang gawin ng Penoy Administrasiyon, wala pong maniniwala.Iba-iba ang mga sinasabi ng mga kapulisan, ng Dept. of National Defense at NBI. Ano ba kayo? Wala bang naging meeting muna, para pare-pareho ang mga pagsisinungaling ninyo?

What's the clear phenomenon is the sea of human devotees of unconquerable, unfathomable faith - can't be more disquieting than speculation or suspicion. Let the signs and wonders revealed in the scriptures intrigue our minds.

It’s more terrifying now in the Philippines!

I think Panot is testing the waters para sa plan B niya in case ma-acquit si Corona.
