January 20, 2012January 30, 2012 benign0 109 Comments

Another EDSA ocho-ocho “revolution” in the works? That’s according to House Minority Leader Edcel Lagman who reportedly spoke of knowledge of a plan on the part of the administration of President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III to incite an uprising if Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato Corona is acquitted in his on-going impeachment trial… â€œI hope…

Corona impeachment: Prosecution team is incompetent not just underdogs

January 19, 2012March 16, 2017 Ilda 169 Comments

Supreme Court Chief Justice, Renato Corona is richer (only) by eight million pesos according to an ABS-CBN headline report. This is shocking news, indeed. This means that the embattled Chief Justice won’t be able to afford to purchase even just a second hand Porsche similar to the one President Noynoy Aquino (PNoy) bought in 2011,…

In 1992, I still had plenty of hair, was just fresh out of high school and I was in my first year of college. Back then I also held a job as a car wash and gas station attendant. If I remember it correctly, I was merely making around 7 dollars per hour and my…

Karen Jimeno: the classy face of Corona’s legal team

Day 3 of Corona impeachment: ABS-CBN lawyer bungles questioning of key prosecution witness

January 19, 2012January 21, 2012 benign0 44 Comments

So now…

‘L na L Kasi!’

January 18, 2012 Hector Gamboa 12 Comments

It is no secret that Philippine President Noynoy Aquino (PNoy) has been widely criticized as being lazy. This criticism is not just the product of attacks by the opposition, the laziness is reflected by the lack of progress and direction the country is in under his leadership (or rather, lack of leadership). No less than…

Day 2 of Corona Impeachment: Amazing grace exhibited by defense team

January 18, 2012January 30, 2012 benign0 64 Comments

Perhaps it is as what everyone had suspected all along. Of what looked like volumes of “evidence” of improper conduct on the part of Philippine Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato Corona splashed all over the media by the House of Representatives prosecution team (despite repeated warnings from the Senate), it turns out that only a…

And so starts the circus of Renato Corona’s trial by publicity

January 16, 2012January 16, 2012 benign0 65 Comments

The Philippine media seems to be stepping up a campaign to distort the facts surrounding the impeachment case against Philippine Supreme Court (SC) Chief Justice (CJ) Renato Corona. It is evident in the way Michael Lim Ubac wrote on the very first line of his Inquirer.net “report” World Bank: Loan to Supreme Court high risk…
