Another insight on the CJ Corona Impeachment Trial

As I see it, this is going to be a battle of legalese.* I'm not sure if we'd hear stuff like "hindi po kinakain ang iced tea, iniinom po."

I have not seen everything yet (the Articles of Impeachment) but based on some news articles and reports that I have see so far (e.g., see PCIJ's report on the SALN issue - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vjv8rIarir4&feature=email), I think the Impeachment Trial is not about justice at all -- this is a time-old power play between those in the administration and those who are not. Hayyy.

Good luck, Philippines.

*This would be too technical such that we'd perhaps hear the term Ingersoll rand compressor and we won;t even bother ask what that word is doing in this trial.

My initial thoughts on CJ Corona Impeachment Trial

In the News

Noynoy is confident Corona will be convicted.

Paano kapag hindi siya na-convict? Hindi na din niya rerespetuhin ang desisyon ng Senado?

Prosecution to Corona: Explain before the Senate, and not in front of your supporters.

Woohoo!!! Panalo. While this is really funny at its best, I'm not surprised. 185 of the 188 congressmen who signed to impeach Corona because he did not make his SALN public did not make their (185 congressmen) SALN public as well!

So, these congressmen who probably are just good in giving monogrammed baptism gifts to their supporters have suddenly become political geniuses. Sus! Good luck, Philippines!

PS: Is it too late to hope that I do not have blogger friends who are related to any of the 188 congressmen? :-D

Another circus in the making

The Corona Impeachment is something we really should be looking forward to. Just like Erap's impeachment, up to all the Senate and HR investigations, this is going to be another circus on free TV.

Congressmen-prosecutors are so eager to have their 15 minutes of fame... so eager such that they would call press conferences and present their "evidence" to the public ahead of the actual impeachment trial. And you know what kind of evidence? Stuff like... Corona and his wife were able to buy a property (worth 14.5 M), which is beyond a public official's salary. Seriously. That was an evidence of corruption? They have got to have something more than that to make a conviction.

You see, I am just a lowly corporate slave then when I and my brother purchased (installment, actually) a real property worth almost 2 M (inclusive of everything that has to be bought). That is roughly 1/7th of the alleged Corona's property. Now, I am so much sure that Corona alone is worth more than 7 times I and my brother are. Corona is a topnotch lawyer as well. How can he not buy a property worth that much? Sus!

Are they trying to imply that doctors who can afford Marcus lab coats are (more) corrupt than those who can afford simple scrubs? The image that this circus is trying to show is that if you can afford a property that much, then, you are a bad guy. Scr@#@ them!

4 more years!!!

A warrant of arrest was issued hours after tons of documents were submitted. A CJ was impeached without signatories knowing why they are doing this (it's just that they are afraid to be tagged enemies of the regime). A call for CJ replacement in case the CJ will be unseated was made in bad taste (what? rubber stamp Congress and Senate?).

Should I even include how shooting and drinking buddies get protected even f they have committed clear and obvious mistakes? Or the "justified" Macs in the CommGroup? Or the suuuper late (or lack of it) disaster response? Or the partying with some entertainers while people are dying down south?

Is it just my moral compass or there's something wrong with this administration?

Yeah, 4 more years. F%$#!

At the very least, the number 1 guy in Malacañang should seriously be taking online college degrees with a major in good manners and right conduct!
