What's hot …
By Michael Punongbayan The Philippine Star MANILA, Philippines – Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales, stressing that she will not resign from her post, lashed back at Chief Justice Renato Corona yesterday and denied his allegations that she allowed herself to be used by the present administration. The retired Supreme Court justice called Corona a “certified liar” in a hastily organized press conference at the Office of the Read More …
PerryScope By Perry Diaz On November 17, 1973, the embattled U.S. President Richard Nixon faced media editors and defended his record in the Watergate scandal in June 1972, saying that he never profited from his public service. “People have got to know whether or not their President is a crook. Well, I’m not a crook. I’ve earned everything I’ve got,” he said. But it was Read More …
Solons don’t want impeach limitations BY EVANGELINE DE VERA MALAYA FOR lawyers of impeached Chief Justice Renato Corona, gauging the temperament of senator-judges who might ask him questions outside the scope of the impeachment complaint is half the battle. Lawyer Tranquil Salvador III, a spokesman of Corona’s team, yesterday said the defense wants senator-judges to confine their questioning to issues concerning the complaint. “It’s important Read More …
AS I WRECK THIS CHAIR By William M. Esposo The Philippine Star The puny efforts of the camp of Supreme Court (SC) Chief Justice (CJ) Renato Corona to dismiss the revelations of Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales have thus far failed to debunk the AMLC (Anti Money Laundering Council) sourced dollar transactions. If you understand how the AMLC works, it’s unlikely that the numbers reported will be Read More …
GOTCHA By Jarius Bondoc The Philippine Star Chief Justice Renato Coronado Corona withdrew and re-deposited hundreds of thousands of dollars from several bank accounts on the day he was impeached last Dec. 12, 2011, and up to two weeks thereafter. This shows in documents presented Monday by Ombudsman Conchita Carpio Morales to the Senate impeachment court. The bank transactions, if converted, run to the tens Read More …
By Joe America* The Society of Honor http://thesocietyofhonor.blogspot.com/ I tell you, this impeachment trial is wonderful television. I had to kick my kid off his cartoons in order to watch Moe hammering Curly with a big wooden mallet the other day. And the raving Queen of Hearts offed Mr. Keh’s head with her angry hatchet, somewhat dulled by abundant use. The prosecution looked cool. The Read More …
By Dean Tony La Viña GMA News “Duty is the most sublime word in our language.” This is a quote misattributed to American Civil War General Robert E. Lee. Error of quotation aside, those who have to do their duty will appreciate its gravity. All the more so when we speak of “civic duty,” that which we (civilian or official) owe to the Filipino people, Read More …
BY AMADO P. MACASAET MALAYA ‘We cannot see any way out for the Chief Justice to escape conviction. Democracy and the justice system will win if this comes to pass.’ IF that huge amount of money – about $10 million or more than P420 million at the current exchange rate – is in his name, it must belong to the Chief Justice. The amount is Read More …
BY ANDREO CALONZO GMA News A House prosecutor on Thursday urged Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales to find out whether Chief Justice Renato Corona got his alleged multimillion bank deposits from former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. In a statement, Bayan Muna party-list Rep. Neri Colmenares said the Ombudsman should not stop at determining the amount of Corona’s supposed unexplained wealth, and instead should probe the sources of Read More …
By Jess Diaz The Philippine Star MANILA, Philippines – A prosecution spokesman yesterday said the dizzying movement of funds in Chief Justice Renato Corona’s dollar accounts as alleged by Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales in the impeachment trial is proof of money laundering. Quezon Rep. Erin Tañada also warned that Corona can be charged with plunder even after he is convicted. “Outside of the impeachment case, if Read More …
