PAPUNTA SA DAANG MATUWID

CJ CORONA - said that while the 1987 Constitution sanctioned the impeachment process as a way to remove members of constitutional bodies such as Supreme Court justices, it had become "a partisan orgy, devoid of any mature deliberation and of lawful purpose whatsoever." This intemperate demonstration of political might is a fatal assault on the independent exercise of judicial power. Falsely branded as an attempt at checks and balances - and even accountability - we are witnessing a callous corruption of our democracy in this staged impeachment."
