Corona: We live at a time when leaders give in to demands of the mob. In his Easter message, Chief Justice Renato Corona drew a comparison between the modern times and the time when Roman leaders were plotting against Jesus Christ. "The prosecution of Christ is a microcosm of the modern travails our people go through in a society where the temple of justice is shaken by tectonic plates of political expediency, and in a government where leaders take away the rights of others to give in to the demands of the mob." He claimed that "injustice by complicity, trial by publicity, and conviction by popular opinion" could cast "dark thunderstorm clouds" over our society. However, Corona reminded the faithful to remember that the coming Easter would "break the grief and loss of message of a Risen Christ gives us strength, hope and solace. "He said Jesus Christ's resurrection will help people overcome hate and division.
