GOT THIS>> Believe na ako kay Pnoy if he can make 16 senators to give him power over all 3 branches of govt. Btw, his eldest sis Ballsy Aquino Cruz is now treasurer of Hacienda Luisita.
ayaw pumirma ng waiver ang prosecution panel - hindi naman daw makaka-apekto sa SALN nila dahil puro sila LIABILITIES at hindi sila ASSETS.
kapansin-pansin na DINEDMA ng yellow media ang mga revelations sa narrative ni cj corona at nag-FOCUS sa alleged walk-out at sa pamilya BASA
- kulang na lang ay abutan ng panyo upang pahirin ang kanilang sabay-sabay na pagluha. buong trial, nakababad sa camera ang mga basa upang palabasin sa eaksyon na hindi totoo ang sinabi ni corona. lokohin nyo ang lelong nyong Pnoy este Panot oops!
PHILSTAR: BOBIT AVILA The pro-P-Noy media suddenly pounced on the hasty exit without acknowledging the state health of CJ Corona. Shame on them! Some even gave parallels to the wheelchair bound former Pres Gloria M. Arroyo, which in my book is bankrupt commentary. What has become to these people who profess to be Catholics or Christians? They themselves have become so un-Christian in their ways. I would dare say that they have become our modern day Pharisees.
sa loob ng 5 buwan ng impeachment trial, wala kang narinig sa prosecution at pnoy judges drilon, pangilinan at cayetano kundi ang salitang "accountability" and "transparency". bakit walang gustong pumirma sa waiver in the interest of "transparency and accountability". cj lang ba at exempted sila?
DZBB: Hinamon ni Justice Serafin Cuevas ang mga ngdududa sa tunay na kalagayang medikal ni Chief Justice Renato Corona na puntahan ito sa Medical City. Ayon kay Cuevas, baka sa pamamagitan nito ay maliwanagan ang mga kritiko ni Corona na may sakit talaga ang punong mahistrado. Sinabi pa ni Cuevas na mismong siya ay nagpa-panic na sa kasalukuyang sitwasyon ni Corona dahil alam niya kung gaano kadelikado ang sinapit nito.
Sen "Forbes" Drilon reply to the Corona challenge: I will not fall into the rap. I will not go down to his level... IT IS NOT ABOUT CJ'S LEVEL IT IS ABOUT THE FILIPINO PEOPLE WANTING THE TRUTH.
Sandigan ordered arrest of Grace Padaca. Padaca is kaya natin convenor. Hada. Kaya pala kaya natin. Kaya natin mambola. Kaya natin magpakahypicrito. Kayanatin magdouble standard. kaya natin!

SEN BONGBONG MARCOS: Marcos said the attack was "force majeure"  because it was beyond Corona's control.
He dimissed the claims by Corona's critics that his becoming sick was part of a scripted move to evade cross-examination.
He said, the stress, apparently triggered by the false in unfounded accusations being hurled against him for the last 5 months, had taken their toll on his health.
"This is the culmination of the 5 mos of stress on him in his family. There is no doubt the Chief Justice will be affected by these occurrences."
CJ CORONA, whether in a wheelchair, in a hospital bed or nailed in his coffin, should appear at the impeachment court by Friday ALL because  of a self-imposed DEADLINE. humanitarian reasons, medical bulletins, health condition, and family concerns do not count in the senate court - because it is unique, Sui generis and above any other institution. sedated or grasping for breath, he should show up by Friday or else court's decision will not be in his favor because the senate should adjourn on time. ang MALAS mo naman chief justice - NAGKASAKIT KA!
PHILSTAR: BOBIT AVILA Meanwhile depending on which side you are on, CJ Corona's last testimony about that conditional waiver that he signed in front of the Sen-Judges has been praised or condemned. Those who condemn it say that the 188 Congressmen and Sen Franklin Drilon are not being accused of corruption, so there is no need for them to sign it. But in my book, it was perhaps the greatest challenge that the Chief Justice posed not just for those accusing him of corruption, but also for the entire political establishment that has long been known to live on their pork barrels to the detriment of the economic growth and the development of our country.
PHILSTAR: BOBIT AVILA What happened to CJ Corona in the Senate floor was not part of his script. Remember that adage that a picture paints a thousand words? We all saw the face of CJ Corona, so full of emotion, so stressed out something had to give. No one should be subjected to that kind of spectacle that CJ Corona went through. I'm a diabetic myself and I know what it is like when I'm having a hypoglycemic attack, where you feel woozy, confused and your health deteriorating right before your eyes, you cannot predict what you want to do and simply end up with your systems shutting down.
INQ: Ret Ling-Dagupan Arch Oscar Cruz said signing a waiver should not be a problem for Corona's accusers since they, as public servants, were supposed to be open to public scrutiny. Lipa Arch Ramon Arguelles, backed the CJ's challenge to the congressmen and Drilon. Mnla Aux Bishop Broderick Pabillo said Corona's accuser should sign the waiver to get the trust of the people and for them to know the truth. Pabillo said he personally sympathized with Corona's plight and praised him for communicating his position in Filipino that he was a victim of malicious accusation by the Aquino administration.

2 congressmen from the prosecution are willing to sign the waiver to their bank accounts. but the lead prosecutor niel tupas refused and reasoned that it is was just a diversion from the "real issue". sen drilon refused as well. whaaaat? isn't it that that this was issue hurled against cj corona? if they are not hiding anything, why refuse? simple - the accusers are much much wealthier that the accused!
ANC: IMPEACHMENT VS. CJ CORONA:  5:10-5:20 Top Story-Interview with PH Heart Center Cadiologist Dr. Ludgerio Torres by Bernadette Sembrano and Tony Velasquez

- We are concerned he was trying to make a camouflage of his clinical condition.
- Q and A is more rigorous, I will advise against it.
ANC: IMPEACHMENT VS. CJ CORONA: 5:10-5:20 Top Story - Interview with PH Heart Center Cardiologist Dr. Ludgerio Torres by Bernadette Sembrano and Tony Velasquez

- I am admiring the guts of the CJ for undergoing 3 rigorous hours, ordeal taking the witness stand.
- It is not advisable for Corona to testify on Friday due to medical condition.
- When he developed hypoglycemia, Corona must be at level of incoherence, maybe he does not know where he is going.
- Sen. Enrile should consider Corona's medical condition because he might lose his life if he will appear on court on Friday. That will be again full of emotions.
ABS-CBN: medical bulletin on CJ Corona
- Doctors from The Medical City have advised Chief Justice Renato Corona to remain at the intensive care unit for 48 hours to monitor a possible heart attack. The doctors also advised Corona not to attend this afternoon's impeachment trial due to his condition. Here is the press conference of the doctors on Corona's medical condition. ANC, May 23, 2012.
ANC: Sen. Escudero asks about water.
Cuevas: It's still with Corona. We have copies but not circulated.
Rep. Tupas: None of 188 congressmen signed waiver that Corona distributed.
News5AKSYON. House Minority Leader Danilo Suarez: We join CJ on his cal on signing wavier. House minority will sign waiver too if 188 will.
Atty. Dennis Manalo- The invitation of CJ Corona to prosecutors - complainants and senator Drilon to simultaneously execute bank waivers is intended to prove that the common interpretation of public officials is that there is no legal obligation or duty to disclose foreign currency holdings and deposits in the SALN. While they are obviously not on trial, the issue of interpretation of the SALN law vis-a -vis the fcdu law is. Their refusal to execute waivers only proves that CJ Corona's interpretation is correct or at the very least the current practice.
DZRJ 810 AM update: Senator Escudero asks the Prosecutors if they have already signed their waivers. Tupas answered that none of the 188 have signed it yet. Senator Estrada asks Tupas if he will sign the wavier. Tupas says they will not sign.  Drilon puts on record that he will not sign his waiver because Drilon feels that it will be disastrous for the banking industry.
Then why are Drilon and members of the Prosecution asking CJ Corona to sign his wavier?
DZMM Reporter:
> posibleng sa lunes sa muli haharap sa impeachment court si Cj Corona. > ito ang inamin ngayon ni Atty. Tranquil Salvador kasunod ng rekomendasyon ng mga duktor ni CJ Corona na kailangan itong manatili sa medical city ng 48 hours.
(9:32-9:33) - Saksi sa Dobol B - DZBB) by G. Juego SC Spokesman Midas Marquez, kinumpirma na nagpupulong sa mga oras na ito ang mga doctor ni Chief Justice Renato Corona as Medical City para sa inaasahang medical bulletin na ipalalabas. Marquez, nagpahiwatig ng walang katiyakan kung makakadalo si CJ Corona sa impeachment proceedings mamayang hapon.
GOT THIS>> The invitation of CJ Corona to the 188 complainants, prosecutors, Drilon to also execute waivers is intended to prove that the common practice/interpretation of public officials is that there is no legal duty of obligation to disclose foreign currency deposits in the SALN (absolute confidentiality). While they are not on trial, the issue of interpretation of the SALN law and the FCDU law is. Their refusal to execute waivers shows that CJ Corona's interpretation is the common practice even with the 188 + 1. - DENNIS MANALO
