INQUIRER: ATTY. TRANQUIL SALVADOR - "This is what we have been saying all along, that kind of evidence is inadmissible. All we did the past few days, these past weeks would be wasted," Salvador said in Filipino in a press conference after the trial. "At the end of the day, even if (the testimony) would not be stricken out, it would be inadmissible when the time comes for it to be formally offered as evidence, "Salvador added.
INQUIRER: You're committing a 'fatal error,' Enrile warns prosecution panel
"It is your responsibility. In fact, I tell you - and I'm sorry to say this frankly - your procedure, it seems to suggest to me as a presiding officer, that you have no evidence," Enrile told private prosecutor Demetrio Custodio. "You are gathering evidence by requesting a subpoena from this honorable court. And I warn you that this is going to be fatal error on your part," he continued.
ANC: CJ Corona files 48 page supplemental petition before SC, cites the tendency of senator-judges to "propound questions more akin to cross-examinations and loaded with veiled threats, securing for the prosecution what they failed to do for themselves." "In this case, the conduct of Senator-Judges has drawn the attention of the public, casting doubt on the integrity (of the) impeachment trial process and even the impartiality of the judges themselves, "the supplemental petition read. "In order to allow the prosecution to present evidence on part. 2.4, and to amplify or assist said prosecutors, the allies of Pres. Aquino in the Senate abused their authority and continued their presentation of evidence for the prosecution, "the supplemental petition read. Senator-judges mentioned - Drilon, Alan Cayetano, pangilinan, guingona, osmena. Corona says his right to due process is being violated "because certain senator-judges have lost the cold neutrality of impartial judges, by acting as prosecutors, "the petition read.
(PRESS STATEMENT OF CHIEF JUSTICE RENATO C. CORONA - ANC)
I had a very successful career in the private sector where I was a top executive before I joined the government. That is public record. For the past 40 years, my wife and I lived in a house, which was inherited property, and for that reason never had to pay rent or amortization on our residence. This translated to significant savings over forty years.
We have lived simple and frugal lives since we got married more than 40 years ago, to the point of thriftiness. This contributed to how we have been able to accumulate these assets. Other than our house, which we have lived in for almost 40 years, we have never had any other house.
(PRESS STATEMENT OF CHIEF JUSTICE RENATO C. CORONA)
Throughout my public career, I have never been involved in any anomaly or scandal. Whatever assets my wife and I have acquired are products of 45 years of toil and honest work. My wife and I have been privileged to come from families of comfortable means. We grew up never lacking in anything and even enjoyed some luxuries. We earned our academic degrees in some of the best exclusive schools in the country. I went on to earn several postgraduate degrees, including a Master's degree in Harvard Law School. Our parents provided well for our future. Family resources continue to be available to us anytime.
(PRESS STATEMENT OF CHIEF JUSTICE RENATO C. CORONA - ANC)
"I hope this prosecution will never happen to any other official, officer, captain of industry or Juan dela Cruz. I would not wish it on my worst enemy, should I have one. Finally, the President has clearly committed an impeachable offense when he came out swinging by openly urging the Senator-Judges to disobey the Constitution he has personally sworn to uphold. Itong impeachment trial na ito ay isang huwad, isang paghihiganti ng sukdulan at kahiya-hiyang tangka na pigilin ang pagbabahagi ng lupain sa Hacienda Luisita."

ang paghanap ng "katotohanan" ay hindi isang lisensya upang yurakan ang batas atipagsigawan na "kami ang pinakamataas" at wala nang hihigit pa. Ito ay napakamaling argument na nagbibigay ng maling interpretasyon sa Saligang Batas na nagbibigay independensya ng 3 sangay ng pamahalaan. The impeachment court started just fine until the prosecution aided by allied senator judges started playing God.

Drilon acting as prosecutor again. Atty Roy clearly stated that Corona will open his accounts at the proper time. Drilon the said that means Corona consents to opening of dollar bank accounts. But Atty. Roy stated that he accounts will be made public AT THE PROPER TIME. That proper time is when the Defense presents its side and not NOW while the Prosecution is still presenting. Atty Roy's statement was directed to Pres. Aquino & Malacananang because they are publicly pressuring Corona to disclose his account now. Why are the Senator Judges being so defensive?
DZBB: Atty. Jose Roy of defense team: Re: Isyu ng paggapang ng palasyo sa mga senator-judges para suwayin ang TRO. "Sa totoo lang hindi ko naman kabisado ang mga allocations para sa mga Lehislatura. Natanggap lang naming impormasyon yung daw pagkukunan nun ay savings at ito daw po ay para sa soft projects. Hindi ko naman po masiguro sa inyo kung ito ay nakatakdang mai-release. Pero ang sinabi raw agad-agad na gagawan ng paraan para mailabas ito para makakuha ng suporta. Soft projects mga general projects yata mga maraming maliliit na projects hindi necessarily infrastructure if I'm not mistaken."
Aside from the influence peddling reasons for impeaching Penoy, the minority should also include treason (funding enemies of the state), betrayal of public trust (clandestine meetings with communist and rebels) and disloyalty to the constitution (bribing legislators and overstepping the bounds of co equal parts of govt). These have more proof and will be more credible than impeaching the CJ which has deteriorated into a travesty of justice and a comedy of errors by the prosecution!

Dapat lang they should respect the TRO or else crisis na! Sen. Lacson wants to jail the Defense Team for contempt due to the presscon last night! Bakit ba..did they kill DACER? Gulo na talaga! They have to respect the SC! Pnoy is acting like an Emperor due to his sheer ignorance of the constitution! He should just marry Grace Lee migrate to Korea an be a good husband instead of allegedly hiring cheap call girls as his comfort women at the Palace!
DZBB: Atty. Jose Roy - Naging maselan na paksa ito at matagal kaming nagdebate ng mainit tungkol sa isyu na ito. Hindi lang naman yung source ang nagsabi sa amin nito napangunahan na nga yan ni Sen. Tatad, Sen. Ernie Maceda. Inilabas na po yung istoryang yan.
Yung pagkasabi sa aming (source) detalyado nakita naman ninyo hindi namin kathang isip ang mga bagay na ito. Ipinapaabot lang namin ang narinig namin. Hindi po namin pinagdududahan ang mga senador. Gusto lang namin supilin ang mga nagtatangkang gustong gawing baluktot ang proseso. Gusto namin iparating sa kanila na ang mga bagay na ito hindi namin tatantanan at ie-expose namin yan. Hanggat may matatag kaming balita.
Confidential info passed on by a PSG member: Since the start of the impeachment trial, Sen. Pinky Lacson would go to Bahay Pangarap in malacanang where Pnoy stays almost every night during weekdays. He would arrive at 9pm and would stay till midnight passing thru a secret gate. Evidently he discusses important things with Pnoy.
QUESTION: Is this proper and ethical for a senator who sits as a judge in the impeachment trial of CJ Corona? What is Pinky Lacson's business in going to the residence of Pnoy, knowing full well that Pnoy is the main man behind the impeachment of cj corona? Can we still expect fair judgment from Sen. Pinky Lacson? Pls pass so that people may know.
ABS-CBN - Atty. Rico Paolo Quicho, defense team spokesperson: RE: Palace allegedly bribing senators to defy SC TRO on dollar accounts. Nagulat kami dahil ngayon lang nag-ingay ang Palasyo dito sa impeachment court. At nung Biyernes, Sabado, at Linggo, nakakuha kami ng mga impormasyon at hindi namin puwedeng ipagkibit balikat na lang ang mga impormasyon na ito. Ang taong ito (nakunan ng impormasyon) ay mapagkakatiwalaan, may posisyon. Rerespetuhin ko ang confidentiality ng information at ng resource person na 'yun. Kung may dapat kaming harapin para protektahan ang impormasyon at tao na 'yun ay handa na kami itong harapin.
10:05-10:10/ANC/CORONA IMPEACHMENT TRIAL/INTERVIEW WITH ATTY. DENNIS MANALO OF THE DEFENSE TEAM
- CORONA'S INSTRUCTION WAS TO OPEN HIS BANK ACCOUNT WHEN IT'S OUR TURN TO PRESENT EVIDENCE. WE WANT TO PROTECT THE INTEGRITY OF THE PROCESS. THE INFORMATION WAS RELAYED TO US THROUGH AN EMISSARY. WE HAVE FAITH IN THE IMPEACHMENT THAT IT WILL SHIELD ITSELF FROM PRESSURE. THERE'S NO PERMISSION IN THE RULES OF COURT WHERE THE SENATOR-JUDGES WILL ELICIT THE EVIDENCES.
INQUIRER- DORONILA High Court battles for independence
"In a blatant interference in the trial, the President unleashed the attack at a time when the Senate impeachment court was in the midst of examining voluminous evidence against Corona who has been accused of betrayal of public trust and graft and corruption. The attack was tendentious and touched on the merits of the evidence which is now within the jurisdiction of the tribunal to adjudicate. It was also inflammatory amid rising public tensions over the trial that has run for more than three weeks."
