Corona's bank accounts bared
02/09/2012 2:55 AM
Ibinasura ng impeachment court ang hiling ng prosekusyong tumestigo ang mga justice ng Korte Suprema sa paglilitis kay Chief Justice Renato Corona. Ang humarap naman kanina sa trial, mismong presidente ng isang bangko kung saan may mga deposito umano si Corona. Kinukwestyon ng prosekusyon ang humigit-kumulang P20 milyong ni Corona mula sa dalawang bank accounts. Magba-Bandila, Chiara Zambrano. Bandila, Pebrero 8, 2012, Miyerkules

the mystic little lady
PS Bank Katipunan branch manager tiongson confirmed that the bank documents used by the prosecution to subpoena the bank accounts of corona were fake. if indeed the president of PS bank and manager tiongson are correct in saying that the prosecution used fake documents to force the issuance of subpoena, it is a shame that the senate allowed itself to be used and abused by the prosecution camp.
corona's bank accounts are out in the open because the senate issued a subpoena to the banks using the fake documents handed by the little lady to the prosecution people as the basis. shame to the impeachment court. this impeachment turned out to be a venue for fishing expedition, wherein legal and constitutional rights of the accuse are not being respected.
umali said that an anonymous little lady handed him the fake documents right inside the senate at around 2:30 pm while on his way out of the senate. however, according to the report of the senate sergeant of arms, the CCTV did not have a recording of the mystic little lady.
is the little lady an apparition? is that the reason why the CCTV footage failed to record her presence? does it mean that congressman umali has a third eye? wow, isn't creepy?
or is this investigation of senate sergeant of arms a confirmation of a lie peddled by the prosecution. was these fake documents a result of devine intervention that umali can't give any sound and plausible reasons? or is it a result of devine manipulation, falsification and relentless persecution?

Let me give you guys a recall of the violations that pnoy and his prostitutes have committed against our system of democracy. pnoy through his justice secretary defied the TRO issued by the supreme court even without legal or constitutional basis. second, pnoy used the COMELEC to conspire with DOJ to make a joint investigation on electoral sabotage against the former president. counsel of the defendant questioned this in the supreme court but despite of the pending decision of the honorable court in regard to the aforesaid issue, the COMELEC railroaded the investigation. but the worse thing that happened was, sixto brillantes (former counsel of FPJ) participated in the voting procedure involving the filing of electoral sabotage case even if the COMELEC rule itself prohibits such act.
but pnoy was never contented in violating and circumventing rules, procedure, and laws to get back at his perceived political foes. next target was merci. with the help of mammoth administration propaganda against the sitting ombudsman, pnoy and his allies worked to defame her name in front of the public using yellow media. the ombudsman is guilty in the bar of public opinion even without the trial. as a result, she resigned before the senate convene as an impeachment court. but the catch here is that, the law itself prohibits the resignation of a public official pending an investigation against him or her. pnoy violated this law on anti graft and corrupt practices by signing merci's resignation. enough reason to impeach him.
the shame campaign did not relent. after the SC in a "unanimous" decision ruled to favor the distribution of hacienda luisita and rejecting STO (a predatory tactic of aquino-cojuangco clan to get hold of luisita), pnoy came out in the public enraged. the chief executive berated the chief justice on several occasions including the forum held by no less than SC. this ill-manned president used the opportunity to lambast corona in the forum organized by the institution the latter represent.
after the hacienda ruling, the prostituted allies of pnoy and he, met in a restaurant in qc to plot the ouster of CJ. the house of representative railroaded the filing of the impeachment. the chief justice was impeached in the prostituted house even if the articles of impeachment did not met the constitutional requirement of verification. those who refuse to sign the articles of impeachment were not spared. mandanas was removed from the powerful committee that he used to handle even if he is member of the ruling majority. tiangco (majority) had his PDAF witheld when he refuse to sign merci's impeachment. for the second time he and his colleagues were compelled to sign a constitutionally flawed impeachment complaint this time involving the CJ of SC.
the house rules on impeachment were revised during merci's time removing the two essential constitutional safeguards or requirements such as "personal knowledge". this move is all intended to easily file an impeachment complaint that this administration could use against their perceived political enemies. suddenly, the filing of an impeachment can be done instantaneously use to coerce and plant fear among those who refuse the will of the balding man in the pasig river.
back to the senate, during the trial it was proven that the badly written impeachment complaint needed to be toss back to the prostituted house of representatives for the wordings were badly written. the law itself dictates that accusations must be based on facts, not on opinion or inferences and must be exact. the articles of impeachment does not even allege corona of amassing ill-gotten wealth but only alleges corona for non-disclosure of SALN. during the inquiry of sen-judge drilon, it was proven that the clerk of court had his (corona's) SALN. it was also that day that the impeachment court proved that corona regularly files his SALN forcing the prosecution to abandon such accusation. a clear victory for the defense.
the court in exercise of liberality on many occasions have ruled in favor of the prosecution. the reason being is because the senate sitting as an impeachment court wanted to hasten the proceeding.
prosecution using dirty tactics presented before the media list of properties allegedly owned by corona. however, lately during the hearing, it was proven that the list was in fact inaccurate and bloated to make it appear as if corona amassed so many properties. the prosecution vehemently denied that the prosecution got anything to do with the distribution of such evidence in the media. however, in one occasion, sen-judge estrada managed to get a clear admission from tupas jr. that it was he who distributed the unsworn, unverified and unvalidated documents in the media.
the prosecution during the trial wanted to open certain bank accounts of corona in BPI and in PS bank (including peso and dollar account). the senate ruled on having the the president of PS bank to testify in the impeachment court inspite of the fact that there is a pending appeal in SC questioning the legality of disclosing corona's dollar accounts. the bank secrecy law is clear, no one can divulge information involving a dollar account as it is treated with confidentiality. the only time that this can be opened is when the depositor allows it. what the majority of our sen-judge want is to open this even if it is a clear violation of law. tackling the issue of corona's bank account is geared towards discussing the issue on paragraph 2.4 of article 2. the senate as an impeachment court already ruled not to tackle this portion of the impeachment complaint. if they will proceed, they are in great danger of violating their own ruling and possibly violating the constitutional right of the defendant.
instrumental to the issuance of the subpoena to the banks was the illegally acquired bank documents handed by the "little lady" to the prosecution. however, one of the prosecutors in a slip of the tongue referred to the lady as "he." it could be a manifestation that the prosecution is trying to cover the real identity of the one who handed those illegally acquired documents. even the possession of this illegally acquired documents warrants an investigation. i wonder why the senate did not investigate the prosecution team regarding this issue? worse, they (senate) even use this illegally acquired documents as basis to issue a subpoena.
this impeachment court is the only court that does not accept MRs. the essence of the right to file an MR supports the issue on the right of the concerned party to be heard. if this impeachment court under their rules does not accept MRs, then it deserves to be conducting their hearings in planet mars.
