Animal

CJ Corona and his mob of operators have been taking potshots at Senators again. Lest we allow them to dig their graves even deeper, someone please send a reminder that these days the Senators are also called Senator-Judges. Really, if it is a characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things, I’m afraid we have a pretty dumb Chief Justice. Have you heard the rumors about Senator Antonio Trillanes buying undeclared condominium units? Who do you think would start rumors against an angry Senator-Judge who...

All In

Was Judd Roy serious when he said the Defense will “defenitely” put Chief Justice Corona on the stand? The Dean just planted a landmine on his master’s path. If Corona evades answering questions on national TV, they’ll think he’s a liar. If he admits the obvious truth on national TV, they’ll confirm he’s a crook. If he doesn’t show up (or if sends his wife to cover for him), he is a coward. Come to think of it, he has nothing to lose. Like a...

10 million reasons for the TRO

Scuttlebut is the SC justices are all pissed off at their chief when the news broke out Sunday that the Ombudsman was asking Corona to explain within 72 hours how he acquired several bank accounts, “the aggregate value of which amounts to at least US$10,000,000,” roughly Php420,000,000. Now, why would they be pissed? No, no, it’s not because of virtue. If Marites Vitug is to be believed, and I think she is, the SC sadly houses few good men, or women, these days. From within...

Gloria and Binay? WTF!?

WTF is happening to the world? Apparently, this is why VP Binay has been so quiet about the impeachment: GMA, Binay join forces Published : Saturday, March 31, 2012 00:00 Written by : Ritchie A.

Revilla, the president of...

An Open Letter to Sister Flory Basa

Here’s another open letter circulating through email and social networking. Thanks to Roman Buenafe for posting it on my wall. Funny thing is I also got it through email from my grandmother, who is not political at all, and who has no idea about the stuff I do online. It was supposedly written by Dennis Garcia of Hotdog, who responded to an Inquirer article about Sister Flory Basa, the 90 year old nun and aunt of Cristina Corona who confirmed that the Coronas did screw over...

Referees have more integrity

The Flight Attendants and Stewards Association of the Philippines (Fasap) wrote the Inquirer about the pending Impeachment trial against Chief Justice Corona on the 16th. Fasap, if you would recall, was involved in a more than 13-year case against Philippine Airlines, which ended up in the Supreme Court, which is supposedly, and by duty, the final arbiter on such matters. The SC gave its decision, then later gave another one, then another, then another (in favor of Fasap). Later again, upon receiving a letter from...

Two Corona defense lawyers quit!

If you decide not to defend the Chief Justice, what does that say? Two of CJ Corona’s vaunted defense team, Atty. Ernesto Francisco Jr. and former Court of Appeals Justice Hector Hofileña, just backed out. Read the story on abs-cbnNEWS.com: 2 Corona defense lawyers back out Does this mean they couldn’t defend Corona? Does this mean Corona cannot be defended? Did they get a look at Corona’s assets? Does this mean these two lawyers just grew a conscience at the last minute? OR MAYBE, they were...
