Santiago irate over prosecutors anew

Maagang tinapos ang ika-17 araw ng impeachment trial kanina kasabay ng kaarawan ni Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile at pagdiriwang na rin ng Valentine’s Day. Sa kabila nito, hindi pa rin naiwasang magka-tensyon sa ilang bahagi ng paglilitis lalo na nang kastiguhin ni Senador Miriam Santiago ang prosekusyon sa pagsusumite ng umano'y pekeng bank documents.

lukaluka
lukaluka iyan si miriam. may altapresyon daw siya, maniwala ako! that altapresyon of hers is normal for her condition, may thyroid problem siya and she's on medication, the altapresyon is the side effect of the medicines she's taking, and not pathological. miriam is just fooling us with the highblood pressure story, so she can have excuse not to attend congress anytime she wants to. crazy woman.
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!
Santiago’s behaviour is unwarranted, unbecoming of a senator.
Santiago’s behaviour is unwarranted, unbecoming of a senator.
First of all, she insults, berates, and screams at the prosecution panel, not giving them any due courtesy as elected congressmen, a co-equal in Congress, and as lawyers.
Second, she acts as if and arrogantly proclaims the senate as “her court”.
Third, she only targets the prosecution and has no such attitude towards Cuevas and his team, even for the misdemeanors and unethical actions they do. It is clear as day that she is so partial towards the defense.
She is a complete disgrace to this proceedings, and should be the one censured by her colleagues, by Enrile. Her antics are not funny, and are an insult to good, professional conduct required in this trial, done by others. She should be reminded that this is the Filipino people’s court, not hers.
The whole world is watching, including those who elected her to the ICC. What a big shame.
Parang kalbaryo ni Meriam
Parang kalbaryo ni Meriam ang impeachment hearing. Nagsesermon at nag-walkout everytime nag-attend? Ano kaya ang mangyari sa ICC... nakakahiya sa atin mga Pinoy.
Corona magpakatotoo ka na para di ma stroke si Miriam
Ang makakasagot lang nyan ay kung buksan ni Corona lahat ng account nya. Kung wala namang illegal dapat pumayag syang ipakita ang lahat para matapos na ang batuhan. Di na kailangan ibase sa batas o technicality o gamitin ang SC - kung talagang malinis si Corona, ipakita nya sa lahat ang account nya, lalo na sa mga iniisip nyang bias na judge. Ang masama takot sya at nagtatago rin ng katotohanan. Sabi nya ipapakita nya at the right time. Bakit hindi ngayon na lang para matapos ang boxing.
