PHILSTAR - DICK PASCUAL
"They say that impeachment is nothing but a political process, to be decided on the basis of public opinion, not on the basis of the evidence. If that were the case, then the Senate should have no role in it." "The case should be put to the people in a referendum, which should tell us what the 'public opinion' is, so long as everyone participates and the process is not rigged." "But that is not what the Constitution says. Impeachment is a constitutional process. The Senate tries and decides all impeachment cases, on the basis of the evidence, not on the basis of party line or personal sentiment of the 'judges.'

"In making the congressmen sign an unread document in exchange for certain tangible gifts, P-Noy unduly risked his political reputation for being previously incorrupt.  Critics see him now as the first corruptor of Congress. "In their view, he has made himself impeachable in the very act of impeaching the Chief Justice. He, rather than Corona, should be the one impeached for culpable violation of the Constitution, bribery, corruption, betrayal of public trust and other high crimes." 

SWS - Survey Whitewashing Stupidities it's not unusual anymore that every time pnoy govt slips and make errors that SWS comes to the rescue to drumbeat in compare pnoy's high ratings and cgma's lows. is SWS now a govt funded agency? then, of course, methodically, pulse asia, a "kapamilya" survey group, is expected to follow suit and supplement the rescue effort. on thing is sure, with all these "rescue missions", we can all confirm that this administration is DISASTER!

CJ CORONA - said that while the 1987 Constitution sanctioned the impeachment process as a way to remove members of constitutional bodies such as Supreme Court justices, it had become "a partisan orgy, devoid of any mature deliberation and of lawful purpose whatsoever." This intemperate demonstration of political might is a fatal assault on the independent exercise of judicial power. Falsely branded as an attempt at checks and balances - and even accountability - we are witnessing a callous corruption of our democracy in this staged impeachment."

Chief Justice Renato Corona on Monday said the Senate should dismiss the articles of impeachment filed against him by the House of Representatives, claiming that the move to unseat him was the "handiwork" of President Benigno Aquino III and the ruling Liberal Party. "Ensuring political advantage would amply justify the allegation that President Aquino seeks to subjugate the Supreme Court."

Pnoy pardoned a British drug dealer. Why? Ilan pang filipino ang mabibiktima nyan?

bakit pag sa kaso ni hataman, naniniwala ang palasyo sa decision ng SC lifting the TRO? and kahit na may MR, ito ay bale wala? samantalang nang magrelease ng TRO ang SC sa WLO in CGMA, hindi ito sinunod dahil may MR daw sila? NAKAKATAWA o NAKAKAINIS?
