Raissa Robles article getting a lot of fans and heat.

I posted a comment on Negros Bloggers and found out that it kept getting mysteriously erased.

Firstly, in Raissa's blog article, Does Renato C. Corona have a clone living in the US?, nowhere she stated that Corona owns the properties in Florida nad California.

Unfortunately, this disclaimer may not be read by other people resulting in stupid allegations that Raissa claimed Corona owns these properties!


Instead, she was struck by the more than passing coincidences of the name of the chief justice associated with the real estate propertyies.

Already there are 1,118 comments posted under Raissa's article. And wonderful!, readers are now forthcoming with information in the freer United States.

Now we have the spectacle of the defense panel made to look like lying fool(s),when they claimed that it was just a namesake. However CJ Renato Corona VERIFIED that he is the Corona alluded to in the article! But he denied that he or his family owns the aforementioned properties.

Again, lets cool off and wait for further developments. Already there is tantalizing information coming out that yes, one Charina Corona Corona Salgado owns a Roseville California property. If indeed she is the Chief Justice daughter, and the information is doubly verified, we have a dammning proof that CJ is a lying chief justice.

One commenter in Negros Bloggers commented that Raissa wrote with malice. I dare say that Malice is in the eye of the reader. We should be informed of the TRUE and BLUE character of CJ Corona, a man not for others (as Ateneo grads are said to be) but a man for himself and family.


Note: May 18, 2012, a certain commenter Risa Rubbles replied to our blog post, but a quick check in the Internet showed that it is the same he/she wrote as a comment to the globalbalita.

Senator -Judge Santiago: no more case against Chief Justice

People may think that the lady senator is grandstanding but does she have a point?

She is manifesting that the impeachement article 2 is badly and incompetently written. It should have stated that the Chief Justice has failed to disclose or declare salaries and properties in his SALN filings.

One gets the impression she is not really after justice or against corruption but she is for absolute compliance about the technicalities of the law.

It would be better if Santiago goes to the ICC and let her spout her mastery of the law to her fellow international judges. Begone!

On day 27, defense panel making everyone look like fools?

What happened in the hearing today?

1. Senate will not accept any presentation of future witnesses on articles 1,4,5,6, and 8 and will not make a judgment on the articles. Call it perseverance for Cuevas, he is trying to drag the trial to a long long unbearable hearing.

2. Cuevas wanted to resurrect a preliminary hearing which was already decided by the Senate a loooong looong time ago!

3. Cuevas asserts that the impeachment hearing is invalid since the complaint was not properly presented or filed.


4. A voluntary witness, Congressman Tiangco was encouraged to testify about the impeachment hearing of, hold your hats, not of the Chief Justice, but of Merceditas Gutierez, the former personal Ombudsman of GMA :). The Defense claim that politics and intimidation (like non-release of public pork barrel funds) played a part in the approval of the impeachment proceedings. Oh, of course, impeachments are political proceedings! Also Cong. Tiangco DID not sign approval of the impeachment of the Chief Justice. This is a dilatory tactic of the defense. It looks like Tiangco does not act like a politician, but acted childish!

5. Now every one knows the phone number of the DBM secretary, which is a lapse of judgement on the part of the Congressman.

6. Prosecution should learn to object quickly to witnesses statements. Being a first timer is not a good reason, they should have learned already on the first 26 days of the trial.


7. Defense is showing hesitancy in presenting evidence about undeclared peso and dollar accounts.

8. Cong. Tiangco talks about Congressional proceedings, and we know that Congress is NOT the one on trial. The effect of Tiangco is to put Congress to unnecessary scrutiny. Call it political entertainment, but this just lengthens the hearing.


Well everyone does not feel good day today, but it is the defense panel that looks the most foolish of all today!

Corona opens his mouth and talks with forked tongue

Did not Corona promise that the he would open and explain his dollar accounts in due time? Now he is telling the Filipino people that the opening of his CONFIRMEDdollar deposits will depend on the advice of his LAWYERS!

Did not Corona, NOT declare a huge amount of cash in his 2010 statement of assets, liabilities and net worth (SALN)? In point of fact, he reported only "cash nd investments” amounting only to P3.5 million, in stark contrast to the more than 30 million pesos stashed in 5 peso and 5 dollar bank accounts discovered during the impeachment trial.

Did not Corona (and he still does!) claim and harped on that the impeachment charge was in retaliation for the Hacienda Luisita ruling? Yet this reasoning is not at all related to the impeachment hearing. In other words, he wants to distract those who wants to listen to his pronouncements.


NOTE: Now and then someone will point out to me privately about some grammatical errors. I do appreciate them pointed out. Thanks.

Do UST and Corona have a mutually beneficial relationship?

I was looking for Amado 'Jake' Macasaet's column and the Google search engine somehow produced from the interrelationships between web sites, this gem http://sc.judiciary.gov.ph/jurisprudence/2004/oct2004/124250.htm.

In this case, the Supreme Court, through its Third division, has set aside a Court of Appeals ruling,on October 18, 2044, UNIVERSITY OF SANTO TOMAS, petitioner, vs. COURT OF APPEALS AND PRISCILLA TIONGCO CANICOSA, respondents.


Now, dont get us wrong. We only publish a fact that UST, which conferred on Corona a doctorate in law, without the requirements of a published dissertation, had a favorable decision penned by the Supreme Court justice, Renato Corona.

Will trial bog down on Article 2?

I do not understand why the senate impeachment court cannot see the full Article 2 of the Impeachment charges. We have previously expounded on this aspect, see our previous post.

May we remind everyone involved that this is not a criminal trial, only a trial to show that the Chief Justice has lied and has hidden his full transaction details involving real estate properties. Who knows, companies might have given him cash gifts if CJ Corona has no oter visible source of income. This trial is to judge whether he can continue to sit as the highest magistrate of the land.
