Fariñas vows Corona-style impeachment for 8 justices
MANILA, Philippines - Prosecutor-lawmaker Rodolfo Fariñas said he will move to impeach the eight justices who issued the temporary restraining order (TRO) against the Senate subpoena of Chief Justice Renato Corona's alleged foreign currency deposits.
"Ako na ang pasimuno. Walo ang pipilahan. Lima ang nakakita na di sila dapat makialam dito."
He said the impeachment against the 8 associate justices will be "Corona style".
Prosecution spokesman Miro Quimbo said they will study the proposal of Fariñas. "We will read it very fast."
The eight magistrates who voted in favor of issuing the halt order are: Associate Justices Teresita de Castro, Arturo Brion, Roberto Abad, Jose Perez, Lucas Bersamin, Martin Villarama, Bienvenido Reyes and Jose Mendoza.
The 5 who dissented are: Associate Justices Antonio Carpio, Mariano del Castillo, Diosdado Peralta, Maria Lourdes Sereno and Estela Perlas-Bernabe.

SAME OFFENSE
as far as the impeachment complaint is concerned, the prosecutors missed to cite even a single instance where there is evident pattern of dishonesty on the part of the respondent to hide his assets. even the bank accounts of corona was not even included in their accusations.
the old SALN has “no requirement for Corona to indicate bank deposits or bank accounts. failure or omission in SALn has been decriminalized, it should no longer be an impeachable offense according to a senator-judge. moreover, old SALn guidelines do not specify how to properly fill it up. a new SALN form proposed by the Civil Service Commission would prove that the old SALN form is not that clear and specific as to the content that should be contained therein.
taking into considerations facts that i've mentioned, are the senator-judges especially those who are obviously part of the prosecution / pseudo sen-judges are trying to convict corona for the same offense that they have commited?
the law is clear in saying that there's an assumption of good faith on the part of the filer in case he or she failed to properly fill up the SALN. this is the rationale why the law allows correction in SALN of government officials.
since the filers of SALN are entitled to such corrections. then, there is no law that has been violated if in case the filer failed to properly fill up his or her SALN form. perjury is not even applicable. perjury is not an impeachable offense because it is not considered as a hight crime. moreover, failure or omission in SALn has been decriminalized.
is the senate sitting as an IC is trying to hear an impeachment case wherein the law does not even penalize the allegation / the offense.
but my million dollar question would be... is the impeachment court trying to impeach the CJ for an allegation of the "same" offense that most of their members have committed?
$$$ accounts ni Corona
Sangayon po ako sa panukala na i-impeach ang walong mahistrado na may tapa de ojo dahil sa isang malaking dagok kay Juan dela Cruz ang ginawa ng walong mahistrado sa pagpigil sa pagbukas ng mga $$$ bank accounts. Is the intention of the law to protect the crooks by depositing their ill-gotten wealth in $$$ bank accounts. Kung tunay na magaling na ginoo si Corona at may isang salita, may pahintulot na si Corona na buksan natin ang kanyang $$$ bank accounts. Bago magsimula ang hearing ang wika ni Corona, “I’ll execute a deed of donation. If they can show my properties, I’ll just give it to them." Ngayon po ay lumalabas na may properties si Corona in the form of $$$ bank accounts bakit di po natin busisiin ito? Binigyan na po tayo ng pahintulot ni Corona na kung mapapatunayan natin na may iba pa siyang ari-arian ay atin na ito. Wala na pong makakapigil sa pagbukas ng mga $$$ accounts ni Corona. Magkano kaya ang laman nito? Ang depensa ay nagsabing haharapin nila ang kasong ngunit tila nababakla sila ngayon. Pagbigyan po natin ang hiling ni Cuevas na busisin ang monthly bank statements ni Corona. Maganda itong ginawa mo kapatid, mabuhay ka.

Huminahon Tayo
Huminahon ka Congressman Farinas. Hindi maganda palagi na lang kayo mag away. Dapat both sides ay marunong tangapin ang reality. Ano na mangyayari sa bansa natin kung di na kayo sumunod sa batas? Kayo pa naman ang gumagawa ng FCDA tapos kayo ang di susunod. Pag iempeach mo ba yung 8 justicies ng supreme court maganda ang resulta para sa ating bansa? FCDA is clear, and we have to follow. NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW....Kung gusto mo, baguhin mo muna ang batas para ito ay sundin.... Lets move forward na po, tama na yung politika. Kawawa na kaming mga mahihirap......
@Ralph2011
huminahon your ass!!
you are not poor!!!
you are one of those who keep robbing our government.
Mahirap?
Mahirap mo your ass.. Kung talagang para ka sa mahirap naiintindihan mo sana na kailangan mawala si Corona, ang mga katulad nya ang isa sa ugat ng kahirapan, mga nuknukan ng mandarambong. Kung rule of Law ang paguusapan, maaring tama ka.. pero isa yan sa nagagamit ng mga kawatan para makaligtas. Sa galing ba namn sa batas ng taong yan, ano pa ang laban natin kung di tayo maninindigan. Subukan mong lumubog sa totoong realidad ng kahirapan, baka sakaling magbago ang pananaw mo..
