INC LOBBYING FOR CORONA IMPOSSIBLE, RIDICULOUS!

Reports in the Philippine Daily Inquirer that emissaries of the Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) have been trying to win votes of senator-judges for the acquittal of impeached Chief Justice Renato Corona are IMPOSSIBLE and RIDICULOUS!

First: If ever the INC would carry out an operation like that, it WOULD NOT LOBBY with or approach senator-judges directly at their comfort zones.

That would raise the risks of A LEAK to a maximum.

Instead, the INC would invite whoever is the senator-judge they want to approach to their headquarters or any of their home grounds for MAXIMUM SECRECY.

It wouldn’t take a genius to realize this.

Second: The Inquirer story cited a CONGRESSIONAL INSIDER as the source of the story.

But the subjects of the story are SENATOR-JUDGES!

How can somebody from congress know what’s going on in the confines of senator-judges? Especially NOT JUST ONE but a few since the story mentioned Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile and Sen. Jinggoy Estrada.

The source works for Congress and several other senators all at the same time, is that it?

Estrada has officially denied he had been approached by anybody from the INC.

Third: The Inquirer story claimed INC emissaries touched base with several senators to request for a meeting on Corona’s impeachment.

If they indeed touched base with senators, the supposed INC emissaries would have stated their purpose outright and not wait for a meeting depending on the senator’s availability.

With the trial’s conclusion fast approaching, time is of the essence!

Fourth:  With the continued collapse of the prosecution’s case against Corona, THERE’S NO REASON for the INC to lobby for the Chief Justice’s acquittal.

Remember, among others:

The supposed 45 properties of Corona which had been SHAMELESSLY claimed by the prosecution in media even before the trial have been successfully reduced by the defense to the five which the Chief Justice had consistently declared as his only REAL ASSETS.

A majority of Supreme Court justices issued a statement several weeks ago that Corona DID NOTHING WRONG in the tribunals decision on a case involving the Philippine Airlines Employees Association (PALEA), a major issue in one of the articles of impeachment against the Chief Justice.

Bottom line, the supposed lobbying story is nothing less than the latest CHEAP AND AMATEURISH GIMMICK by Corona’s detractors to sow intrigue between him and his supporters to hopefully reduce the growing public sympathy for him.

Whoever taught of this dirty trick needs a seminar on LOGIC.

There is always something funny with the prosecution!

Bakit kailangan pang magpunta ng Malacanang? Di ba sila they are the ones who filed the impeachment case against the CJ? Kung ang ebidensiya ay matibay at alam nila na lumabag ang chief justice, bakit kailangan pang kausapin si Ochoa? Ang galing naman sa kapalpakan ng mga lintik na mga ito. Ano pa ba ang kailanagan?

Thanks for sharing this link, Sir BA. For me, this impeachment is a vaudeville of lies and deceptions. For me it doesn't matter who wins. That's my personal opinion, in this free(k) country. All the best, Sir BA!

That’s not a good sign for the defense!

Despicable hypocrites they are, Boyet Antonio. As a friend had said, decency is a word foreign in this government. Only malice and viciousness. Oh well, what can we expect from a government who doesn't perform?

OSMENA’S UNMISTAKABLE BIAS AGAINST CORONA

NES TRINIDAD

This, coming from the same guy who threatened to do a sex act in the Senate and halls to continue his filibuster? Comes from the same cloth as Drilon so what do you expect? Besides, he's the last of the once-proud Osmena clan still in national gov’t. Don’t think he'll win a re-election

Lawyer ba yang engot na Osmena na yan? Sinisira lang niya name niya.

One thing I can say about Osmena....a paid  hypocrite. Let’s just watch and see if Corona gets to be popular and where will this animal be licking ass.

FE ALBURO

Osmena is an ally of Pnoy. This group does not know how to respect the rule of law. No due process for political foes. Lahat sino- short cut.

MELCHOR VERGARA

Osmena is nothing but another yellow idiot.

JIMMY PRESTO

This is good. The more they come out with their bias, the better. This way, we will know whom to go after come the next election.

Osmena is a yellow tard..
