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

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

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

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…

PNoy supporters pre-judge Corona impeachment trial

It seems like most Filipinos either do not know the meaning of “due process” or are simply too impatient to understand and observe it properly. God forbid that one become the subject of an investigation or an impeachment bid in the Philippines. Once the Filipino public gets a hold of any information that can be…

Will Senator Antonio Trillanes defer to public opinion when deciding on Corona’s impeachment?

According to “Senator” Antonio Trillanes IV, public opinion will weigh heavily in his final decision with regard to the impeachment of Philippine Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato Corona. In a speech delivered at a forum held at the UP National College of Public Administration and Governance, Diliman last week Trillanes said that he intends to…

Impeachment touted as ‘political in nature’ used against a man accused of politicizing Philippine Supreme Court

A lot of newspaper “columnists” started the week by expounding on the nature of impeachment trials as being political in nature while at the same time emphasizing that it is still a process that follows the principles of the scientific method, of revealing a conclusion as close to the truth as the quality of the…

Chief Justice Renato Corona’s trial-by-publicity heats up as Malacañang PR machine switches to overdrive

Chief Justice Renato Corona’s trial-by-publicity heats up as Malacañang PR machine switches to overdrive

It is not very surprising behaviour coming from the parties that seek to oust Chief Justice Renato Corona from the Supreme Court. Even before the 16th of January impeachment trial to be conducted by the Philippine Senate, efforts to sway public opinion by demonising Corona are already underway. The most obvious among these is disclosure…

Articles of Impeachment against Philippine President Benigno ‘Noynoy’ Aquino III

As I was going through the articles of impeachment against Philippine Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato Corona, I began to realise how so much of the complaint against the Chief Justice is based on circumstantial assertions. I thought, hey, if this drivel of an impeachment complaint passed Congress, I’ll bet I can draft one against…

Fails the So What? Test: Raissa Robles on Mrs Cristina Corona as ‘GMA appointee’ @raissawriter

By “investigative journalist” Raissa Robles’s own admission, some people end up as collateral damage when “dirt” about them gets dug up when scandal erupts. That’s what “investigative journalists” do after all. Dig up dirt. So the collateral supposedly damaged by Robles’s recent article is Mrs Cristina Corona, wife of Chief Justice Renato Corona who is…
