		<description><![CDATA[How does one prove allegations that Chief Justice Renato Corona betrayed the public trust through his partiality to former President Gloria M Arroyo (GMA)? As what most rational people had for so long expected, it is indeed proving to be difficult. Even Department of Justice (DOJ) Secretary Leila De Lima failed to prove it in her testimony as the prosecution’s first witness for Article VII during the impeachment trial of the Chief Justice. In Secretary De Lima’s efforts to prove that Chief Justice Corona granted favors to GMA, she inadvertently proved her own partiality towards the incumbent President, Noynoy Aquino (PNoy). It is no secret that it is PNoy’s great desire to get rid of Chief Justice Corona at all cost, and as a dutiful staff member it seems like Secretary De Lima had to do everything to please PNoy even to the point of defying the Supreme Court (SC). When asked by lead defense counsel Serafin Cuevas if the executive branch has any authority to review decisions or orders made by the SC, De Lima replied “There is no such power.” But the records show that as the head of the DOJ, she took it upon herself to defy [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Defective. Trash. These are the words that the prosecution cannot seem to understand. They are the words Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile uttered in anger after the prosecution desperately pleaded for the testimony of Philippine Air Lines (PAL) vice president for sales Enrique Javier to be accepted as part of Article III in the impeachment case against Supreme Court Chief, Justice Renato Corona. Senator Enrile explained very clearly that allegations of bribery were not even part of the (as what Prosecutor Rudulfo Farinas admittedly said) badly written articles of impeachment. Most people got what the presiding officer was trying to explain. But the prosecution just could not accept the fact that they simply cannot provide evidence for something that wasn’t alleged to begin with. The prosecution has been warned so many times about their ineptitude that has been the cause of the delay in the proceedings. They have gotten away with their inconsistencies in the past several weeks of the trial. But unfortunately for them, it seems like Senator Enrile has finally run out of patience. His impatience was particularly obvious when Neil Tupas, Jr tried to use emotional blackmail just to convince the presiding officer to agree with him: [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[New revelations emerging in yesterday&#8217;s court session in the on-going impeachment trial of Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato Corona shed further light into the true priorities of the governement of Philippine President Benigno &#8220;Noynoy&#8221; Aquino III. Senator-Judge Joker Arroyo in a speech before the court last Monday (the 20th February) encapsulated this disturbing character of the current regime in the following statement&#8230; &#8220;I find it strange that as far back as September to November 2010, there was already an inquiry on Chief Justice Corona&#8230;then followed by impeachment then followed by the investigation of the [Bureau] of Internal Revenue. Three invesigations have been conducted against the Chief Justice,&#8221; he said. Arroyo&#8217;s citing of an &#8220;inquiry&#8221; on Corona &#8220;as far back as September to November 2010” refers to allegations that the Anti Money Laundering Council of the Philippines (AMLC) conducted an audit of Corona&#8217;s accounts with the Philippine Savings Bank (PSBank) over that period. Arroyo pointed to the &#8220;disturbing&#8221; possibility that Malacañang has been using government agencies under the influence of the Chief Executive as personal instruments in an on-going &#8220;political vendetta&#8221; &#8212; something that is highly-likely considering that the Supreme Court has the power to determine the fate of the vast [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When in doubt, bluff. Iloilo Representative Niel Tupas Jr. stated last Saturday that the prosecution has acquired the proverbial last nail on Corona’s coffin regarding the second article of impeachment. To recap, the second article of impeachment against the respondent, Chief Justice Renato Corona, states that: “RESPONDENT COMMITTED CULPABLE VIOLATION OF THE CONSTITUTION AND/OR BETRAYED THE PUBLIC TRUST WHEN HE FAILED TO DISCLOSE TO THE PUBLIC HIS STATEMENT OF ASSETS, LIABILITIES, AND NET WORTH AS REQUIRED UNDER SEC. 17, ART. XI OF THE 1987 CONSTITUTION.” (Source: Link) Marikina Representative Romero Quimbo went on to explain that the prosecution panel intends to rest their case on Article 2, briefly discuss Article 3, and then proceed to attack the respondent on grounds of the seventh article impeachment, which explains the respondent’s prejudice towards former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. “RESPONDENT BETRAYED THE PUBLIC TRUST THROUGH HIS PARTIALITY IN GRANTING A TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER (TRO) IN FAVOR OF FORMER PRESIDENT GLORIA MACAPAGAL-ARROYO AND HER HUSBAND JOSE MIGUEL ARROYO IN ORDER TO GIVE THEM AN OPPORTUNITY TO ESCAPE PROSECUTION AND TO FRUSTRATE THE ENDS OF JUSTICE, AND IN DISTORTING THE SUPREME COURT DECISION ON THE EFFECTIVITY OF THE TRO IN VIEW OF A CLEAR FAILURE [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Following the landmark decision coming from the Senate court trying the impeachment of Chief Justice Renato Corona to uphold a Supreme Court restraining order on the opening of Corona&#8217;s dollar accounts, much attention has now been directed to the Philippines&#8217; &#8220;archaic&#8221; bank secrecy laws. According to also secret United States embassy cables revealed by Wikileaks, US officials have long been “concerned” about the impenetrable legal wall of secrecy that protects foreign currency accounts in the Philippines. &#8220;The bank secrecy laws in the Philippines are among the strictest in the world,&#8221; said [Former US ambassador to Manila Francis ] Ricciardone in a January 2005 cable (code: 05MANILA84, http://cables.mrkva.eu/cable.php?id=25003), in which he related the transparency problems besetting the country. The United States is apparently particularly concerned about the Foreign Currency Deposit Act of the Philippines (FCDA), otherwise known as Republic Act No. 6426. The FCDA is a legacy of the martial-law era, having been signed into law by the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos in 1974. The &#8220;Group of 20&#8243; (G20) countries who supposedly are the &#8220;leading economies&#8221; of the world issued a &#8220;joint communiqué&#8221; in a 2009 summit in London declaring that &#8220;the era of banking secrecy is over&#8221;. The United States [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had just finished reading for the nth time one of the Op-Center series books by Tom Clancy. The title is Op-Center: Balance of Power. Take note that this is a fictional work, and that this is not a book review. To give a brief background, the Op-Center, or National Crisis Management Center (NCMC), is a team created by the US President to resolve conflicts in potential trouble hotspots, both domestic and international. Spanish officials have intelligence regarding increasing civil unrest among their different ethnical groups, thus they have quietly requested the assistance of the United States. On the way to a high level diplomatic meeting with Spanish contacts, an Op-Center representative is assassinated. The fears are confirmed: there are forces at work that want another Spanish Civil war, and to seize control of the government all for themselves. Where am I going with this? I mentioned this book because, to a certain extent, I see parallels between certain parts of the plot, and the reality that is unfolding here in Philippine politics. The book highlights a fictional unrest situation between the different ethnic groups in Spain. Those mentioned are the Castilians, the Catalonians, the Andalusians, the Basques, and the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the President’s speech last February 16 at La Consolacion college, he raised the following point (translated from the original text): “The question that this impeachment trial seeks to answer is simple: can we still trust Chief Justice Corona?” Until the Chief Justice (CJ) and his defense team present their side, we must refrain from answering this. Otherwise, we risk deciding under an ill-informed, biased set of data. We can also ask the same question of President Aquino (PNoy), since we demand accountability of all our public officials. Can we still trust PNoy? We have pretty much gotten a good idea of how he performs, and from this we can project how he will perform for the rest of it. Before we start, we must define trust in what exactly, so let us delimit the scope of the question even further. Can we still trust Pnoy to do the job the people elected him for? The most logical way to jump into this argument is to start by defining how many &#8220;trust credits&#8221; PNoy has earned or lost throughout his term. Let&#8217;s start by remembering where he had to make big decisions and how he handled them. Remember how he [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is in the times of despair and sheer powerlessness that our holy and majestic president Noynoy (PNoy) Aquino showed his true colors. It is in the times of the imminent victory of the rule of law that PNoy shows his true intentions. Recently, PNoy threw a major tantrum that betrayed his inclination towards dictatorship; inciting another People Power. Blunder after blunder in incriminating Chief Justice Corona in the ongoing impeachment trial, thanks to the prosecution, must have put our president to his wit’s end. Recently, the bank records given by a curious “small lady” which supposedly served as ammunition for the prosecution stabbed them in the bank, as they were proven to be fake in the end. Purported bank records of Chief Justice Renato Corona with the Philippine Savings Bank submitted as evidence by the prosecution in the magistrate’s impeachment trial are fake, a branch manager of the financial institution said Monday. Senate Majority Leader Vicente Sotto III also reported that there existed no closed circuit television footage of the “little lady” that Oriental Mindoro Representative Reynaldo Umali, one of the prosecutors from the House of Representatives, claimed had handed him the bank documents at the Senate building. “They [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[President Noynoy Aquino (PNoy) seems to be suffering from tunnel vision. The medical term tunnel vision refers to the loss of a person’s peripheral vision. People who suffer from tunnel vision can only see what is in front of them and not the ones on the sides of their eyes. The term tunnel vision is also used in literature to metaphorically describe someone who has a myopic view or narrow point of view of the world. In addition, people who have tunnel vision also exhibit extremely prejudiced outlook, bias, lacking in tolerance and sympathy of other people especially their enemy. In his recent speech at a forum at the La Consolacion College, Manila in celebration of the first EDSA people power revolution in 1986, PNoy exhibited signs of tunnel vision in the way he railed against his perceived political enemies. The hapless captured audience, comprised mostly of students who are barely out of puberty, became victims of PNoy’s tirade against the impeached Supreme Court Chief Justice, Renato Corona. The poor students were bombarded with propaganda that was extremely biased and prejudiced against the Chief Justice. PNoy devoted his entire speech, which was accompanied by a power point presentation, to persuading [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well it looks like much of the rest of the proceedings during the trial of impeached Chief Justice, Renato Corona will be spent on clarifying the rules of the court. However long it would take to finish the trial &#8211; it could be weeks or months &#8211; the presiding officer, Senator Juan Ponce Enrile will have to keep reminding the prosecution and some Senator Judges that “the law must be respected.” It is an increasingly excruciating experience to watch the trial as it takes place at glacial speed just because the prosecution keep insisting on presenting evidence that is either fake; had been illegally obtained; or had been tampered with. It was so unbelievable that lead prosecutor Congressman Niel Tupas, Jr, a legislator, had to be told that “the source (that) was anonymous should have given the prosecution the caution to scrutinize the document before they presented it to this court as a basis for compulsory process.” This was in reference to the copies of Chief Justice Corona’s alleged dollar account, which according to another prosecutor, Representative Robert Umali, was given to him by an anonymous “small lady” on his way out of the building. Senator Enrile is increasingly getting [...]]]></description>
