Corona Novela

CORONA NOVELA
-ryandgreat, pasig city

we're halfway 2012 and there were relevant news events that has already shaped our country

and i've personally witnessed the on-going political circus as we're there for its live broadcast! and in the parlance of tv, we have a show!

at the start of the year, the philippine senate began its impeachment trial of the supreme court chief justice renato corona

an impeachment case that was passed among the members of house of reps (mostly aquino allies)

on the basis of renato corona as being a "midnight appointee" of ex-president gloria arroyo

as well as being partial to all the legal cases of arroyos and he was not able to disclose his SALN properly

May 2012 | with Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile gusto niya maging happy!


it took more than 40 days of impeachment hearings and some of the highlights were mostly from senator miriam defensor santiago and senator juan ponce enrile

and some of the defense lawyers and witnesses atty. estelito mendoza, cong. neil tupaz, atty. karen jimeno and  pasabog from ombudsmann conchita carpio-morales


but the climax of all climax  that broke records

was when the main character, chief justice renato corona himself appeared at the impeachment hearings!

he first read an opening statement and then all hell broke loose when he walked-out

senate president juan ponce enrile, the presiding judge, ordered for a lockdown of the entire senate building

and after that, renato corona returned to the session hall on a wheel-chair!

there's nothing like the drama all over there! pang drama-rama sa hapon ang peg!
