MANILA, Philippines - Sen. Miriam Defensor Santiago on Monday denied she was offered a P100 million bribe by a Malacañang emissary to reject a Supreme Court order stopping the opening of Chief Justice Renato Corona's dollar accounts in the impeachment trial.

"I have NOT been contacted, much less offered, Php100M or any other amount in connection with the impeachment trial," she said.

Santiago is the latest senator-judge to reject allegations from Corona's defense team that Malacañang was offering the senators P100 million each to vote for the opening of Corona's dollar accounts.

In an interview with radio dzMM, senator-judge Jinggoy Estrada said he is disappointed with the defense's allegations and asked them to reveal their source.

“Nakataya rito ang integridad at honor ng bawat senador…Kapag bukas nag-decide ang majority na i-defy ang TRO, ano na lang ang sasabihin ng taumbayan?” he said.

In a separate statement, senator-judge Francis Pangilinan said: “I hope this is not mean to divert the attention of the public on the main issue: which is whether or not the Chief Justice has dollar bank accounts that he failed to disclose in his Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth.”

Senator-judge Ralph Recto also chimed in, saying: “I have not received a call from [Executive Secretrary Paquito Ochoa Jr.] and I cannot be bribed.”

For his part, senator-judge Panfilo Lacson said: “What the members of the defense team are alleging are pure rubbish and nothing more.”

Senator-judge Gregorio Honasan, meanwhile, said: “Don’t make allegations without hard evidence.”
