From Integrated Bar of the Phils. (IBP) publication: The impeachment of CJ Corona based on decisions issued by the SC, the House in effect arrogating unto itself the power to interpret the law over and above the SC. Such an impeachment has transformed the House of Representatives as the higher interpreter of the law of the 3 branches of govt, the judiciary is the weakest, it does not have the powerful "sword" of the President or the awesome "purse" of Congress. Its only weapon is the passive power of "judicial review."
