Binay: Fair Corona trial will benefit PH
MANILA, Philippines – A fair and impartial trial of Chief Justice Renato Corona will be a “great boon” to the country, according to Vice President Jejomar Binay.
"A fair and impartial trial -- and only a fair and impartial trial -- of Chief Justice Corona, unclouded by suspicions or actual accusations of misconduct and improper dealing on the part of any participant in the proceedings, or on the part of those whose legitimate right and duty are simply to observe the proceedings without seeking to intervene in the outcome, would be a great boon to the nation," Binay said on Friday during the 34th Anniversary Celebration of the Philippine Trial Lawyers Association, Inc. (PTLA) at the Manila Hotel.
Binay, speaking in front of trial lawyers, said that more are expected from them than being mere spectators of the impeachment proceedings.
"We are to stand as neutral observers in every proceeding in which we are not participants, but we should be prepared to intervene whenever the balance of justice and fairness shifts in favor of power, and the rule of law and due process are threatened," he said.
The vice president also lauded PTLA’s stand on the inviolability of the Constitution in the ongoing trial, especially in relation to the protected rights under the Bill of Rights, as well as the separation of powers between the different co-equal branches of government.
Binay warned that "we cannot depart from due process and the rule of law without renouncing our Constitution."
He added that the impeachment process should not be used to bend the law "or asserting the false supremacy of one branch of government over another, or putting one branch in conflict with another."
Corona pointed a gun to a caretaker!

Please read the article released by the Phil. Daily Inquirer today. Kinilabutan ako when I finished reading the article. God truly made this impeachment happened bec. it has purpose not just to our nation but to the people whom corona gave injustices. The helpless caretaker did not file a case for fear of his life also he was threatened by corona by saying "Gusto mo bang pasabugin kong mukha mo (Do you want me to blast your face)? That’s what the Chief Justice said to him back in 1997 (showing to the Inquirer the original copy of Mang Indo’s sworn affidavit). Unfortunately the defense has no answer to this new development showing their client miss demeanor. Truth hurts but it must be revealed! I am on the right side and in sympathy to the BGEI i link this to my facebook, twitter etc. let the people know this hidden tactic of corona, God bless the Filipino people!

demoCRAZY
If you are a senator-judge and you really want to know the truth, why adhere to technicalities and all these carnival-like applications and interpretations of the law? What you are for to investigate when you allow partial sheilding of the truth? Kaya nga mag-iimbestiga para malaman ang katotohana. Pero paano ka mag-iimbestiga kung kayo mismo ang nagtatakip sa katotohanan? Being a powerful authority as a SC chief justice for transparency, will you say "scrutinize me but don't you touch other details other than what I'll furnish you." Then for what you're submitting yourself for fair justice??? Tsk, tsk, tsk... common sense very funny. Are we just wasting more time with the intent of gaining media exposure because you/we know that as a people Filipinos are immoral, illiterate voters who just choose familiar faces in election time? Even if you'll make a surprising vote, it won't change my perception that some senator-judge are drunk of their arrogance that should be purge in the system forever. I can't imagine why there's this fear of conflict of interest and of scenarios in the future in governance if senator-judges makes the right decision? If you're for the morality, decency, and true justice in governance, there's absolutely NO DIFFICULTY in handing down the right verdict. Look at how we the poor, emaciated people of the countrysides/foreign shores how we eke out our daily living that you'll feel what justice should be. Hostile witness, yes. What about HOSTILE JUDGE? We as a people, for years witnessed the atrocities of other system of governments while we turn a blind eye in our demoCRAZY system. Too many rights that the smart devils use to evade justice.

fair trial?
what's fair? lambasting and lecturing one side? if the court is fair just listen and accept or reject the evidences. then decide if it's good for the whole country.
this is bad right or wrong people tend to be with the underdogs, come on try your best to accomodate the needs of justice.
fair and impartial
If Corona has been a fair and impartial chief justice, do you think we would be having an impeachment trial?
Fair Corona Trial
Wha...kaya nga binigyan si Corona ng pagkakataong sagutin ang lahat ng alegasyon. Patunayan kung saan niya nakuha ang perang pinangbabayad na pera sa ariarian at ang kanyang mga deposito niyang peso at dollar account...Wha... wag mong sabihin hulog sa langit yan. Kaya nga ang mamayan ay may hatol na pati UP students mayron na rin kasi pinagtatakpan nila yong mga ebidensya na dapat ipalabas na ang dahilan due process at human rights. Yes respeto para kay Corona 100% kung mapapatunayan niya 100% rin na ang pera at ariarian ay galing sa leagl na pamamaraan... public servant siya kaya e disclose niya ang kanyang SALN ng maayos. Wha...wha...at wha pa di ba Merriam?
NO TIME FOR TRAVESTY
IN MY OWN HUMBLE OPINION
THE CHIEF MAGISTRATE
SHOULD NOT HONOR
BY HIS PRESENCE A
PROCEEDING THAT
IS A TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE.
EVEN ILLEGALLY OBTAINED
EVIDENCE ARE GIVEN
UNDUE ATTENTION BY THE
COURT.
THESE FISHERMEN PERSECUTORS
SHOULD HAVE READY EVIDENCE
WHEN THEY APPEARED IN COURT
AND NOT RELY ON THE COURT
AND SOME PERSECUTOR JUDGES
TO FISH EVIDENCE FOR
THEM.
THE SAVINGS OF THE CORONAS
ARE NOT PRIMA FACIE EVIDENCE
OF ILL-GOTTEN WEALTH.
WHO AMONG THE SENATORS AND THE
PERSECUTORS DO NOT POSSESS
HEFTIER SAVINGS?
MERE POSSESSION OF WEALTH DOES
NOT IMPLY CORRUPTION
OR GRAFT.
IT IS THE ERRING PERSECUTOR WHO HAS
THE BURDEN OF PROVING THAT
HE IS NOT GUILTY OF
VIOLATING THE LAW.
