Corona received the order on April 23. Through his lawyer Ramon Esguerra, Corona denied having $10 million in the bank, saying the complaints were part of a "black progaganda" against him. He said the Ombudsman had no jurisdiction over the Chief Justice. Rico Paolo Quicho, another lawyer on Corona's defense team, said: "The timing is highly suspect. The Chief Justice [will} continue to fight for what is right and will not waver in his commitment to protect [the] independence of the judiciary."
