Corona camp: Owning dollar accounts not a crime
Posted at 02/11/2012 1:15 PM
The Corona camp hit back at Malacañang after President Aquino challenged Chief Justice Renato Corona to open up his supposed dollar accounts to scrutiny. Lawyer Karen Jimeno, one of the spokespersons of the defense panel, said Corona's deposits were part of his savings even before he became chief justice. She added it is not a crime to own a dollar account. Jimeno said the defense lawyers will explain Corona's bank accounts when they start to present their evidence and witnesses. - ANC Dateline Philippines, Feb. 11, 2012

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
the house prosecution panel claimed major victory as the senate impeachment court decided to accept evidences, testimonies and documents submitted by PS bank officials. but what could be the repercussions of such decision by the senate impeachment court to our judicial system, to the impeachment court, and to the entire proceeding?
sec. 2 of article 3 (bill of rights) provides protection to citizens for unreasonable searches and seizures by the government or its agent. apparently, the senate committee on banks is conducting an investigation regarding the alleged "leaked bank" document of CJ corona. all evidences and testimonies so far points to BSP's Jerry Leal. in case senate committee on banks concludes and say that jerry leal of BSP is the source of the leaked bank document, then it is evident that this government is violating the constitutional right of the accuse (section 2 of Art. 3 BR).
and what if the defense panel decides to bring the issue to SC and SC's decision contradicts the senate ruling? it will erode further the credibility of the impeachment court to try and hear the case. if the senate committee on banks says that leal was the source of the leaked bank document, then it would clearly contradict the decision of the senate impeachment court to accept evidences and testimonies from PS Bank. this would mean that the senate impeachment court condones an illegal and despicable act of BSP, leal and and this government. it will cause an irreparable injury to the defendant.
is JPE willing to sacrifice the constitutional right of the accuse and the credibility of the impeachment court in exercise of liberality pending an investigation of the senate committee on banks?
if this can happen to the chief justice, then it could happen to you, to me or to any person for that matter if so and when the emperor in the palace decides you're one of his political foes!
TRUTH
paragraph 2.1 and 2.2 of art. 2 alleges the non-disclosure of CJ's SALN.
TRUTH: drilon manged to extract the SALN of CJ. because of this, the court confirmed that corona regularly files his SALN. thus, compelling the prosecutors to abandon the accusation of non-declaration of SALN.
paragraph 2.3 of art. 2: alleges that the CJ failed to declare some of his properties accurately in his SALN and that he committed perjury.
TRUTH: the law allows corrections in CJ's SALN. that being the case, no law has been violated not even perjury is applicable. additionally, perjury is not even an impeachable offense.
paragraph 2.4 of article 2: alleges that corona amassed ill-gotten wealth.
TRUTH: the senate itself made a ruling that par. 2.4 of art 2 will no longer be tackled since article 2 does not allege corona of amassing ill-gotten wealth. the prosecution is prohibited by the senate impeachment court to tackle par. 2.4 of art 2. the prosecution needed to cure art 2 or toss the impeachment complaint back to prostituted congress before they can touch the issue of ill-gotten wealth.
included in the articles of impeachment, CJ's failure to account on JDF.
TRUTH: COA cleared corona involving this accusation (2010 JDF) prior to the commencement of the trial.
the prosecution accused corona of having 45 properties.
TRUTH: during the impeachment trial, it was proven that the list of 45 properties is bloated.
Prosecution used bank documents to force the issuance of subpoena
TRUTH: the documents used by the prosecution were confirmed to be fake as stated by PS bank president gracia and branch manager tiongson. evidently, the documents used by the prosecution were acquired illegally.
umali said the documents used to subpoena corona's account were handed by a "little lady."
TRUTH: upon review of the CCTV, the little lady is missing. could it be an apparition?

Kala ko ba fake ang documents?
Mga singungaling talaga ang mga taong nakapalibot kay Corona e syempre kanino pa ba yang mga yan mag mamana e di sa father of all liars. I pity this guy name Corona! Such a shame...
KAREN JIMENO...GISING NGA!
KAREN JIMENO...GISING NGA! Who says it is a crime to open a $ ACCOUNT? Thatnis not the issue HERE... ANG ISSUE PO AY ANG NON-DISCLOSURE NI CORONA SA SALN NYA! Mamaya nlang yang ILL GOTTEN WEAALTH na issue... it will be prove later pag na establish na yung NON DISCLOSURE nya which is nakikita na sa PESO ACCOUNT! KUHA MO???
UNSOLICITED ADVICE TO CJ CORONA
IF I WERE YOU, I WILL OPEN MY DOLLAR ACCOUNT RIGHT AWAY.THAT WILL BE A BIG PLUS FOR YOUR DEFENSE. YOUR SAID YOU HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE. PROVE IT. WE ARE WAITING.
Lawyer Karen Jimeno..." it is not a crime to own a dollar accou
It is not the question of owning a dollar account. It is the question of legimacy on the sources of funds that has been deposited into that account. Kung legal naman ang pinanggalingan ng mga pera na nandun eh di fine, kailangan nga lang na patunayan nya.
Maganda kang tanga Harvard pa mandin para kang si HOhmmm
Kala ko ba bawal buksan yong dollar account. Bakit nasilip mo ba kaya sabi mo wala pa si Thief justice sa SC nadyan na account na yan. Di ka naman siguro naging mistress ni Corona para malaman mo na bago sya pumasok sa SC nadyan na account na yan. Mas lalo cguro mahirap ipaliwanag na wala pa sya sa posisyon may mga dolayares na sya. Para kang si baklang HOhmmm dakdak ng dakdak wala namang laman ang utak
Huh?
Was that the best defense the so-called de campanilla lawyers can put up? Pathetic!
→ Ang sarap talaga maging Judge ←
Possible pataasan ata ng amount kung macoconvict or innocent.
Just imagine if you are one of the judges,
one offered you 10 Million for a conviction,
the suspek then offered you 20 Million,
Counter offer of 30 for a conviction,
counter offer of 40 Million for an acquittal
this will boil down to the highest bidder.
Ang sarap talaga maging Judge.
I think let your children aspire to be a Chief Justice or a Senator,
either way, it will be a life full of privileges...
what do you think?
