Miriam Santiago not feeling the love
Says prosecution almost gave her heart attack
MANILA, Philippines - Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago left the impeachment hearing early today after again giving the prosecution a dressing down.
“Halos atakihin ako (sa puso) dahil ang pinag-uusapan kanina ay ang sinabi ng opisyal ng bangko kahapon tungkol sa ipinakita na ebidensya tungkol daw sa dollar bank accounts ni Chief Justice [Renato Corona],” she told reporters after walking out of the room.
Her blood pressure shot up to 170/90. She was advised by the medical services of the Senate to go home and rest.
Santiago took offense to the supposed specimen card attached by the prosecution in a request to subpoena Corona’s alleged dollar accounts.
Philippine Savings Bank (PSBank) Katipunan branch manager Annabelle Tiongson said in her testimony Monday that the document is fake.
The prosecution, using the document, claimed the account had an initial deposit of “$700K”, which it interpreted to be $700,000 (around P38 million in October 2008). The prosecution alleged this was not declared in Corona’s Statements of Assets, Liabilities and Net worth (SALN).
A subpoena was issued in connection with this. However, it became a subject of a dispute among senator-judges since the accounts contain information on foreign currency deposits which are absolutely confidential unless the depositor agrees to disclose the information.
“Bakit pa kami nag-issue ng subpoena? Ang natuklasan ko ganito: Una, ang sabi nila mayroong babae na nagbigay ng impormasyon sa amin tungkol dito sa secret accounts na ito. Hindi pwedeng magbigay ka ng subpoena na ang sinabi lang ng abugado ay ‘merong nagbulong lang sa akin.’ Hearsay evidence iyon,” Santiago said.
She also took note of the prosecution’s claims that the media also has the same information.
“Hindi ka pwedeng mag-issue ng subpoena base lamang dun sa sinabi ng isang reporter o kolumnista. That’s outside of the rules of evidence. Ang dapat lang panggalingan ng ebidensya ay ang tao na gamit niya ang five senses niya: nakita niya, narinig niya, natikman niya, naamoy niya, nahawakan niya,” she said.
She said she is angry because even a trial court will not issue a subpoena based on such kind of evidence.
“Iyong taong anonymous na iyon pala ay kaya kaming paikutin, o kaya itong mga kolumnistang iyon kaya pala kaming impluwensyahan. Anong klase iyan? Galit na galit ang ating batas sa ganung klaseng ebidensya, na sabi nga sa ating Saligang Batas mismo, na kapag sobra na ang publicity o trial by publicity sa labas ng courtroom, dapat palitan na ang lugar dahil na-poison na ang mga isipan ng mga tao tungkol diyan,” she said.
She said she is very, very angry because many rules have been violated.

What else is new?
This brain damaged Senator named Miriam Defensor Santiago had it again. At first I am irritated with the way she acts in the impeachment court. But, on the other hand it's nice to see how incapacitated she is handling issues in our country. Good thing she was cheated in 1992, otherwise we will become the laughing stock of asia.
Her timing was a puzzle to me, every time Thief Justice Corona will be pinned down she will appear and help the defense panel to technical all the evidences. Not to mention her being unethical with the other people.
Karma got into her when his son commits suicide and how sweet to see her weeping at lifeless of boy. I think the way she acts and siding with crooks (Erap, Evil GMA and Corona) another karma will come to soon.
Go on Miriam, those international judges are watching you and visited our blogs about your personality. We will still have the last laugh.

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.

Bobo
Dumada ng dumada na naman itong gagang ito. Miriam, sira ba ang ulo mo? Maaring ma-alam ka ng batas ngunit bakit daig mo pa ang batang lansangan kung magsalita? Ikaw, si Cuevas at si Esguerra ay iisa ang dating, pare-pareho kayong bastos at walang modo. May bank secrecy law tayo, paano mailalabas ng ma-ayos ang mga bank accounts ni Corona? Hala nga ipaliwanag mo. Hindi peke ang ebidensiya. Bobo ka ba? The accounts exist and were validated by the bank officers, paano naging fake ito? Do you know how they come up with a bank account number? The answer is that a formula is used to derive an account number? Do you know that each bank account number has a check-digit? Alam mo ba ito? You don't pick up an account number from a thin air. Puwede ba tumahimik ka na lang? Nasisira ang araw ko kapag naririnig kita at di ko kailangan ang lecture mo, get it? Sa ugali at itsura mo, who will like you?
