Corona's dollars are savings before he joined SC: Jimeno
MANILA, Philippines - A spokeswoman of Chief Justice Renato Corona's defense team on Friday said Malacañang should not meddle with Corona's dollar accounts because it is not a crime to own one.
Atty. Karen Jimeno said President Aquino cannot dictate on Corona whether or not he can have a dollar account. This, after the President challenged Corona on Friday to present information on his dollar accounts if he has nothing to hide.
Jimeno said the money in Corona's dollar accounts were part of his savings before he became Chief Justice. Then-President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo appointed Corona as an associate justice of the Supreme Court in April 2002. She named him chief justice in May 2010.
Jimeno said the defense, when they present their witnesses, will have a chance to explain the accounts of Corona.
On Thursday, the SC voted 8-5 to issue a temporary restraining order (TRO) stopping Philippine Savings Bank (PSBank) from releasing records of Corona's alleged foreign currency deposits.
Under the Foreign Currency Deposit Act, a disclosure of foreign currency bank accounts can only be made upon written permission from the depositor.
The senator-judges have scheduled a caucus on February 13, Monday at 11 a.m. to discuss the SC order.
Presidential Spokesman Edwin Lacierda, meanwhile, warned the Senate against deferring to the SC order stopping the opening of Corona's dollar deposits.
"It won't stop. Ngayon foreign currency deposits. Nagpaparinig na ang defense, sabi nila even in the peso accounts, they are going to say 'It's a fishing expedition.' What will stop them now from going to the SC and say 'Your honors, the peso accounts, while it has been revealed, was a product of the fruit of the poisonous tree.' That's another question of law. The SC will say, 'Teka, we have jurisdiction. We are going to rule on that.'
"They will emasculate every order of the Senate. That is why it is untenable for the Senate to consider to even defer to the Supreme Court even in interlocutory orders because the basis is grave abuse of discretion. E kung sa final judgment sabihin nila may grave abuse of discretion, di paano na?"

TRUTH
paragraph 2.1 and 2.2 of art. 2 alleges the non-disclosure of CJ's SALN.
TRUTH: drilon manged to extract the SALN of CJ. because of this, the court confirmed that corona regularly files his SALN. thus, compelling the prosecutors to abandon the accusation of non-declaration of SALN.
paragraph 2.3 of art. 2: alleges that the CJ failed to declare some of his properties accurately in his SALN and that he committed perjury.
TRUTH: the law allows corrections in CJ's SALN. that being the case, no law has been violated not even perjury is applicable. additionally, perjury is not even an impeachable offense.
paragraph 2.4 of article 2: alleges that corona amassed ill-gotten wealth.
TRUTH: the senate itself made a ruling that par. 2.4 of art 2 will no longer be tackled since article 2 does not allege corona of amassing ill-gotten wealth. the prosecution is prohibited by the senate impeachment court to tackle par. 2.4 of art 2. the prosecution needed to cure art 2 or toss the impeachment complaint back to prostituted congress before they can touch the issue of ill-gotten wealth.
included in the articles of impeachment, CJ's failure to account on JDF.
TRUTH: COA cleared corona involving this accusation (2010 JDF) prior to the commencement of the trial.
the prosecution accused corona of having 45 properties.
TRUTH: during the impeachment trial, it was proven that the list of 45 properties is bloated.
Prosecution used bank documents to force the issuance of subpoena
TRUTH: the documents used by the prosecution were confirmed to be fake as stated by PS bank president gracia and branch manager tiongson. evidently, the documents used by the prosecution were acquired illegally.
umali said the documents used to subpoena corona's account were handed by a "little lady."
TRUTH: upon review of the CCTV, the little lady is missing. could it be an apparition?
Pakisagot lang
May tinatago ba si Corona o wala???? yong pera niya na milyon milyon bakit hindi naka disclose sa SALN???

Ano po ba ang issue?
Hindi naman po issue kung mayaman silang mag-asawa noon pa man at kaya nilang bumili ng mga ari-arian; na sobrang tipid nilang mag-asawa sa sarili nilang pera kaya charge na lang sa SC ang mga kinakain nilang lunch o dinner kahit na ultimo P138.00 na value meal sa McDo; ang issue po dito ay bakit hindi maayos na nailagay sa SALN ang mga pera sa banko. Kung may $700K sa banko, bakit walang declaration sa SALN? Nagtatanong lang po.
JIMENO IS A LIAR!!
HOY Jimeno!! Don't think we will just swallow your lies just because of your looks! We are NOT stupid! Those dollars probably are the ones he stole from the JDF, to which IMF is complaining about . . .i bet when he used the JDF to pay for his personal expenses abroad, he BLOATED the expenses and kept those dollars for himself! what a THIEF JUSTICE this country has . .. and now he has fantastic LIARS to defend him . . PWEH to all of you
Lousy Alibi
Corona's dollars are savings before he joined SC: Jimeno
Would that mean that even before joining SC, Corona has amassed ill-gotten wealth?
How could the public be on your side if you keep that dollar account to yourself? Show it to the public, every Filipino wants to know the Truth.
If you can't show it, there's truth that you are a BIG THIEF!!!
the truth!
ACCUSATION: article 2 of the impeachment complaint alleges corona for violation of the constitution and or betrayed public trust when he failed to declare his SALN.
paragraph 2.1 and 2.2 of article 2 alleges the non-disclosure of CJ's SALN.
THE TRUTH: after sen-judge drilon managed to extract the SALN of corona, it marked a clear victory for the defense panel. after the impeachment court proved that corona regularly files his SALN, the prosecution announced that they are abandoning the accusation of non-disclosure of SALN since it was clearly proven that the defendant regularly files his SALN.
paragraph 2.3 of article 2: alleges that the CJ failed to declare some of his properties accurately in his SALN and that he committed perjury.
THE TRUTH: it was proven that the prosecution's accusation that corona owned 45 properties is nothing but a bloated list. more importantly, the law allows corrections in CJ's SALN. that being the case, no law has been violated not even perjury is applicable.
paragraph 2.4 of article 2: alleges that corona amassed ill-gotten wealth.
THE TRUTH: what many people should know is that the senate itself made a ruling that par. 2.4 of article 2 will no longer be tackled since article 2 itself does not allege corona of amassing ill-gotten wealth. the prosecution is prohibited by the senate impeachment court to tackle par. 2.4 of article 2. the prosecution needed to cure article 2 or toss the impeachment complaint back to prostituted congress before they can be allowed to touch the issue of ill-gotten wealth.
