MIRIAM DEFENSOR- SANTIAGO "Under the rule of ejusdem generis, when a general word occurs after a number a specific words, the meaning of the general word should be limited to the kind or class of thing within which the specific words fall. The Constitution provides that the impeachable offenses are:  "culpable violation of the Constitutions, treason, bribery, graft and corruption, other high crimes, or betrayal of public trust." An omission in good faith in the SALN carries a light penalty, and is even allowed to be corrected. Thus, it is not impeachable."
