DANGER SIGN FROM SONNY ANGARA!

Accurate or not, here’s one REVEALING and DANGEROUS sign of what had been going on behind the scenes before the vote on Chief Justice Renato Corona’s conviction  or acquittal later.

Prosecution team spokesman Aurora Rep. Sonny Angara claimed in ABS-CBN’s TV program “Umagang Kay Ganda” that: “Ang SIGURADO 14-15 votes pero kulang pa rin.” in reference to the number of senators who will hand out a guilty verdict on Corona.

Take note of the assessment SIGURADO, based only on what he described as their own reading of the senator-judges.

Now, except for his senator father Edgardo, how can Angara be damned SURE of the line of thinking of the other senator-judges when they’re supposed to see them only on trial days?

The only way would be for them to have met with the senator-judges OUTSIDE the impeachment court. If yes, for what? 

Remember two things, guys:

Wonder of wonders, the prosecution DID NOT CROSS-EXAMINE Corona when he testified in the impeachment trial even though they had been asking repeatedly for his appearance.

The prosecution had also been demanding for and screaming to high heavens for the opening of Corona’s bank accounts.

But when Corona submitted an UNCONDITIONAL WAIVER for both his peso and dollar accounts to the Senate impeachment court, the prosecution TOTALLY IGNORED AND BELITTLED it.

The prosecution expressed ABSOLUTE CONFIDENCE on the strength of their evidence, even without cross-examining Corona. 

Now, here comes Angara predicting with CERTAINTY 14-15 votes, just one vote short of the required 16 for Corona’s conviction.

Guessing game time, guys, for the reason(s) behind the OVERWHELMING CONFIDENCE of the prosecution, especially Angara, that Corona will be convicted.

DEATH OF DUE PROCESS, TRIUMPH OF LIES!

PRIMO CRISOSTOMO of Farmville, Virginia, USA

Indeed, "honorable, clean, just, and holy" people, who BELIEVE in "hearsay and unverified documents" as SOLID EVIDENCE, have already given their GUILTY verdict to the Chief Justice... what more can we expect! God save the Philippines.

Gusto ko lahat lahat ng mga sinusulat ninyo, Sir Boyet. Huwag sana po kayong hihinto!

Talagang danger na iyan. Baka magkakaroon na tayo ng Law of Lies... authored by these inutil-tongressmen.

JAN VICTOR AYSON

Even the impeachment of CJ Corona has good schemes. They are undermined by selfish motives of the President such as railroading the complaint and , maneuvering to keep control of Hacienda Luisita.

JIMMY PRESTO

Anarchy here we come. Whoever is left standing after a gun fight wins. Back to the Dark Ages. Yes, of course, that is where we are headed if the impeachment court does not acquit the CJ! Every citizen, rich, poor or anywhere in between, will have this doubt that courts, laws and due process is not necessary any more. Civility will go backwards in time if the CJ does not get acquitted.

CECILL;E IGNACIO of  Manila

Acquittal na iyan. BOBO na lang ang senador na BOBOTO FOR CONVICTION! Hanggang sa huli makikita mo ang kabobohan ng prosection at galing ng defense.

Well said, bro…get well soon.

Death of checks and balances.

Lunurin mo man karamihan sa mga yan, di pipirma. Suwapang at ganid mga yan. Tayo pinagnanakawan ng mga yan. Tapang ng hiya. Gaano lang sahod ng mga yan pero tingnan nyo at nagkakagulo mga bodyguard. Mga takot sa mga tao dahil sa mali nilang gawa.

The way the prosecution has been behaving since last Tuesday, it seems like they've received assurances. We may never know. But what we now know is they had the gall to just ignore the CJ's formal waiver to open up his accounts and say there's no need. We all need to know. And whatever happens tomorrow, it's still up to the Senate to USE that waiver for what it's intended for - to find out the truth.

And the start of a bad dictatorsip.

EDGARDO ADOCAL

God bless the Philippines if CJ Corona is convicted.

ED PUNZAL of Tagig

C’mon guys, just because Corona will be ousted (?) from his seat would mean  (the) start of a dictatorship? That will not happen and will not be allowed by the people....Corona will just be changed with someone who is fit for the position, no more, no less.
