A
personal friend of mine told me there’s no way Pnoy or the prosecution panel in
the impeachment trial had anything to do with the Social Weather Stations (SWS)
survey saying 73 percent of the people want Chief Justice Renato Corona
convicted.
To
avoid a debate, since we’ve been friends from way back, I immediately replied:
Then,
the SWS had better reveal who commissioned the survey. Pnoy and the prosecution
panel are the ones with the biggest motive to oust Corona .
Reveal
as in show the contract for the survey to media.
It’s
public knowledge that SWS is one of the MOST EXPENSIVE survey firms in the
country. Only the likes of Pnoy and the prosecution panel, who have millions at
their disposal, can afford to spend for non-essential undertakings like surveys.
If
it turns out that the SWS client is not Pnoy or the prosecution, then his or
her possible links to the President or the prosecution can be determined.
I
emphasized to my friend that the SWS had better not have the stomach to claim
that the survey was for free and of their OWN volition. The people are NOT THAT STUPID.
Whether
or not anybody admits it, the survey wanted to PREJUDGE the case in favor of
the prosecution.
The
thrust of the survey was does the people think Corona was guilty, based ONLY ON
THE PROSECUTION’S EVIDENCE since it’s the only one who has finished with its
presentation of the case.
The
timing of the survey and the release of the results should also be explained by
the SWS.
As I had pointed out in our preceding blog, the survey was conducted from March 10 to
13, RIGHT AFTER the prosecution had rested its case and the defense was just
starting to present witnesses and proof.
That means it’s a ONE-SIDED SURVEY. If
SWS is for fair play, it should have conducted the survey AFTER the defense has
presented its case.
When both sides shall have presented
their case and respondents would have been in a BETTER POSITION to make a more
RATIONAL REPLY to the survey questions.
Only after that should the survey results
be released.
But since the poll was conducted when the
defense had BARELY BEGUN to present its case, the OBVIOUS, VULGAR intent was to
BRAINWASH the people in favor of the prosecution.
The survey CLEARLY wanted to BLOCK
whatever significance the evidence of the defense may have from the PUBLIC
MIND.
I assured my friend that I would welcome
any clarification from him. That goes for everybody. Just be sure it’s DETAILED
and not just a generic or self-serving statement.

SWS SURVEY MALICIOUS, ONE-SIDED
RON SERAPIO
For me, it’s a fixed survey. Any man of reason
can't appreciate the evidences presented by the prosecution. The withdrawal of five
articles of impeachment is a big blow.
It's unbelievable 70 percent is (still) for a guilty verdict against the CJ.

It has been that way. Their surveys depend on

During the elections, Penoy’s camp
continuously released SWS surveys to
condition the mind of the people that he is winning. Now, they are using the
same formula to oust CJ.

Good job, Boyet! I agree that she should
better shut her mouth na lang. Kasi,
yung mga pinagsusulat niya ay puro lang naman gossip. Wala naman siyang proof.
Well,a paid journalist(?) will write anything malicious just to demonize a
person.

journalism? Defense is right, bring it on to the impeachment court by
amending the articles of impeachment.

What do you expect from a rumormonger like Raissa
Robles? She will NEVER shut up because she's on Malacanang's PAYROLL.

P3.5 MILLION for
less than a month of impeachment trial? Ang sasarap siguro ng kinakain at
iniinom ng mga congressmen-prosecutors habang nasa loob ng airconditioned rooms
at pinag-iisipan kung ano pa ang puwede nilang ipalathala sa media para
ikundisyon at impluwensiyahan ang isipan ng mga ordinaryong mamamayan laban sa
Punong Mahistrado.

I agree.
