BPI told to bring Corona's monthly bank statements

Posted at 02/14/2012 4:32 PM | Updated as of 02/14/2012 4:32 PM

MANILA, Philippines - The Senate, sitting as an impeachment court, is asking the Bank of the Philippines Islands (BPI)-Ayala branch manager to produce the monthly statements of Chief Justice Renato Corona's checking account in the impeachment trial.

Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile ordered bank manager Leonora Dizon to bring the documents during Wednesday's hearing of Corona's impeachment trial.

Dizon earlier revealed that Corona's checking account with account number 1445-8030-61 had a total balance of P12,024,067.70 as of December 31, 2010.

This is lower than the P3.5 million in cash and investments Corona declared in his 2010 Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net worth (SALN).

Documents presented by the manager showed that the account had the following year-end balances for the following years:

December 31, 2005 - P149,767.36
December 31 2006 - P153,395.12
December 31 2007 - P5,069,711.18
December 31, 2008 - P1,525,872.87
December 31, 2009 - P678,501.83
December 31, 2010 - P12,024,067.70

During Tuesday's hearing, Dizon said she also brought the year-end balances of the same account for years 2002, 2003, 2004 and 2011.

The balances were submitted as evidence for the impeachment court but were not read out during Tuesday's hearing.

Defense lawyer Serafin Cuevas objected to the Senate subpoena to request for any and all other financial instruments owned by Corona in the BPI-Ayala branch, saying that the subpoena was akin to a general search warrant.

However, Senate President and Presiding Officer Juan Ponce Enrile said the subpoena relates to only 1 particular account, and not any other account.

"If I open an account and I put P1 billion in it, I could make that P1 billion disappear by putting it in different money placement or in savings account or in other similar instruments and that is the thrust of the question of the gentleman from Cebu," he said.

"It's a reasonable demand...If we are going to prevent that, then we will become a party to wrongdoings and I am not ready to cover up for anybody," he added.

Dizon told the impeachment court that Corona had no time deposits, certificates of deposit, settlement accounts, unit investment trust funds, or mutual funds in BPI Ayala.

Cock and bull story

Cock and bull story - double whammy for the prosecution (is it real?)

instrumental for the issuance of the subpoena is the bank document submitted by the prosecution. the fake bank document is the sole reason why the senate impeachment court decided to issue a subpoena to the concerned banks. but what is the connection between the aforesaid fake bank document to the fabricated story of umali regarding her mystic little lady? isn't it intriguing?

here is the catch, it is "only" tupas and umali who signed the request for the impeachment court to issue a subpoena to the banks using the fake bank document. PS bank branch manager tiongson refused to deny or confirm that tupas is a valued depositor in their branch (PS bank katipunan). it doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that the only "way" to produce similar but false copy of the bank document of the CJ, is to have someone from the bank itself leak the document. it is ironic that tiongson refuses to confirm if tupas is a valued depositor in PS bank katipunan. the possibility of connivance is not a far fetch idea. tupas may have requested to leak the bank document of corona through tiongson. now, the prosecution needed to come up with a story to cover the crime. here comes umali to the rescue. as a result, umali came up with an impossible story about a little lady who he claims handed him the fake documents. this is ofcourse to cover the crime perpetrated by tupas. however, the problem is, umali is not at all good at lying. since he claim that the little lady handed him the document around 2:30 pm on his way out of the senate, he failed to realize that people from the senate can ask for a review of the CCTV. since the senate sergeant of arms did not see the little lady's apparition in the CCTV, it became obvious that umali is lying to his teeth.

but the worse thing about it is that, these prosecutors who are also lawyers, clearly violated Republic Act 1405 for using a document from an anonymous source. how can you exact accountability or determine the authenticity of such document if it came from an anonymous source? sen-judge miriam is so infuriated about this that caused her blood pressure to shoot up. clearly, what the prosecution did especially umali and tupas is a ground for disbarment.

second, the prosecution never took the time to determine the authenticity of such document. the law dictates that the foreign currency deposits (dollar account) cannot be disclosed unless with the consent of the depositor. given this law, the prosecutors should have refuse to present the document or even use it. since the document was produced without the consent of the depositor, the document is either fake or illegally acquired. if the document is illegally acquired, then it is a violation of the law specifically Republic Act 1405. these prosecutors / lawyers should know that.

the senate allowed the fake document to be used for the issuance of the subpoena without trying to verify or confirm the authenticity of such document. JPE said the impeachment court assumed that the document is authentic and was submitted in good faith by the prosecution. that for me is a lame excuse.

damage has been done to the accuse even without the opening of the dollar account. why did the senate allowed the issue of bank account of corona to be discuss when in fact the prosecution failed to prove the materiality and relevancy of the issue to the impeachment case that they filed against the CJ. apparently, the senate made a ruling that prohibits both the defense and prosecution to tackle par. 2.4 of article 2 since the articles of impeachment did not allege corona of amassing ill-gotten wealth. if the impeachment court is trying corona for an accusation (ill-gotten wealth) that he was never accused, then the senate impeachment court is in violation of their own ruling. thus, making the impeachment court a kangaroo court and a court open for fishing expedition!

Liar, liar go to hell Thief Justice Corona. Here you go...

BETRAYAL OF PUBLIC, ESTE, MARITAL TRUST

Chief Justice Renato Corona wants to project the image that he is a loving husband to his wife, Cristina. The fact is, the Chief Justice has not only betrayed the public trust but most importantly, has betrayed his marital vow. 

If the Chief Justice is man enough, He should admit the fact that he has a long-standing romantic relationship with a gentle lady named EVA with whom the Chief Justice has two (2) illegitimate sons. EVA also hails from Batangas and had her education from Assumption College just like his wife Cristina who also graduated earlier from the same school.
For Chief Justice Renato C. Corona not to mention his children with EVA as if they do not exist at all, is the highest form of ignominy and immorality that he can commit not only against his legitimate wife and family but against his oath as the highest magistrate of the land.
An inquiry into his relationship with EVA and his illegitimate children in connection with the on-going impeachment trial becomes extremely necessary in the light of the properties given by the Chief Justice to them. EVA, who has previously undergone a heart bypass operation, is known not to have worked from the time she had this romantic liaison with the Chief Justice nor does she have any known business of her own and yet, EVA is luxuriously living in the United States, together with her two (2) illegitimate children with the good Chief Justice.

The SALN of CJ Corona does not indicate any such properties. 

And the reason for the frequent trips of CJ Corona to the United States, the latest of which was late last year, was to visit EVA and his children with her. That CJ Corona could afford to support the kind of luxurious lifestyle of EVA and her children in the U.S. is certainly for the Chief Justice to explain considering his small salary.

A simple investigation on the identity and circumstances of EVA can easily be done by a simple inquisition in Batangas as well as from the classmates, relatives and friends of EVA and of CJ Corona.
I know these facts because EVA is a relative of mine and it pains me immensely to see the Chief Justice professing his love for Cristina on nationwide television when he has confessed to my relative that he loves her far more than his wife. In fact, the Chief Justice made EVA believe that he was already separated from his wife Cristina. This probably explains why for the longest time, the Chief Justice has not reported in his SALN the fact of Cristina's working in government and the fact that Cristina has not signed the SALNs as his wife. 

Betrayal of public trust? This is a small matter than what the Chief Justice has done to his wife and family which constitutes the highest form of immoral act - BETRAYAL OF MARITAL TRUST.
Real name of CJ Corona's girlfriend - Eva Auria; She hails from Rosario, Batangas; She graduated from Assumption College (not from Maryknoll College) She has two (2) sons with CJ Corona who are now in their teens; She is residing now in the United States. CJ Corona's wife, Cristina, knows about the elicit relationship of her husband with Eva. To know more about the details on Eva, a simple investigation of Eva's background in Rosario Batangas and Assumption College would elicit the necessary informations. Eva has plenty of properties in the US. They keep secret the exact address. The bagman of CJ Corona (who facilitates the transfer of funds from Corona to Eva is "Abet" who is a relative by affinity of Eva, being married to a stepsister of Eva. (The wife of Abet has the same mother as Eva but different Fathers). The biggest delivery to Eva involves the bribe money given by the Aguirres of Banco Filipino.
If the bank accounts of CJ Corona and his wife are opened, it will not be a surprise to see a running balance of not less than P200M. The bribe from the owner of the previously closed alone was a whopping P200M. And most money went to Eva through the Assistance of Abet.
The sons of Corona carry the name of the mother. But CJ Corona has openly recognized Ate Eva's sons as his. A simple search at the NSO using "Renato C. Corona" would readily reveal this. For a time, when Eva was still in the Philippines, Renato and Eva lived as husband and wife. In fact, all our relatives in Rosario, Batangas and in the United States, knew the long-standing relationship. We all thought that Renato was already separated from Cristina. Some of Renato's relatives in Tanuan, Batangas where he hailed from, know about this relationship. Some friends of Renato have seen the 2 sons and have been their ninongs. All our relatives thought really that Renato will never deny his relationship with Ate Eva. Sana hindi nya gagawin iyon kasi kawawa sya at ang mga bata.

Wag ka na makialam sa pribadong buhay ni corona. Pro kung gusto mo talagang pumapel hindi dito mo dapat sabihin yan, magpunta kay tupaz at doon mo sabihin yang nalalaman mo. Sa akala mo bay ang mga senador , congressmen , gobernador at mayor ay walang inaanakan?marami sila na wala tayong pakialam dahil buhay nila yon. O baka naiinggit ka sa sinabi mong si eva dahil sagana siya at ikaw ay hindi marahil kung ikay naging si eva baka kakampi ka rin ni corona.
Hindi ito ang tamang lugar na maglabas nyan, para hahatak ka ng kakampi mo?


Salamat Cuevas

Di ko sukat akaling may ginintuang puso pala si Cuevas. Maraming salamat sa iyo at makikita ang lahat ng transactions sa account ni Corona for a period of six years. Baka naman puwedeng hilingin mo na buksan ang mga $$$ accounts ni Corona para matapos na ito at ng maka-iwas ka sa dagat-dagatang apoy. PEACE be with you.

ka rene

duda ng duda si osmena wala

duda ng duda si osmena wala naman palang ibang account si corona napahiya tuloy sya.


kangaroo court!

the senate sitting as an impeachment court allowed itself to be used and abused for persecution campaign and for fishing expedition. first, it rejected the motion of the defense to set a preliminary hearing. thus wasting the time of the impeachment court in the conduct of such hearing.

the senate in exercise of liberality has gone overboard in admitting questionable evidences coming from the pro...secution. take for instance the issuance of subpoena to PS bank and BPI. the bank documents submitted by the prosecution instrumental to the issuance of subpoena is evidently acquired illegally. the president of PS bank himself said during the hearing that no one from their bank has allowed the release of such documents. he further argued that there are differences between the bank documents of corona in PS bank and the documents presented by the prosecution.

if the president of PS bank is saying that they did not allow the release of such documents, and that no one from their bank has ever released such documents, it is safe to say that the bank documents presented by the prosecution is either fake or illegal. since the senate allowed the prosecution to use such documents acquired illegally, then they as an impeachment court lose the credibility to hear and decide this impeachment case.

the SC should stop the impeachment of corona, now!
