LET THE TRUTH SET THE CJ FREE

Mamayang hapon, at two o'clock, the CJ will testify in his impeachment case.  Kagabi, before I slept, I prayed for him.

I know deep within me that Corona is innocent of the charges against him.  Sa tingin ko, si Corona ay parang isang tao na binato at sinabuyan ng putik ng kanyang mga kalaban, at pagkatapos ay biglang sinigawan: "Marumi ka, alis d'yan!"

Kailan nga ba nagsimula ang lahat ng ito.  Aba, eh, pag-upong-pag-upo ni :PNoy, na galit na galit at hindi naging kanya ang tsansa na mag-appoint ng bagong Chief Justice na kapalit ng nagretirong si former CJ Reynato Puno.  Midnight appointment daw.  Aba'y di nga ba napatunayan na hindi sakop ng midnight appointment ban ang Supreme Court, given the constitutional provision that the President must fill up any vacancy in the Supreme Court within 90 days after its occurence.  As a matter of fact, hindi nga ba't iniatras na ng prosecution ang kanilang charge on "midnight appointment" because they themselves realized that charge would not prosper?  At saka, D'yos ko naman, kung sakali ba'y sino ang nag-violate ng Constitution on the midnight appointment prohibition?  Di ba si Gloria, di naman si Corona.  Bakit kay Corona tayo galit?  Dahil ba hindi na natin puwedeng ipa-impeach si |Gloria?

At any rate, I believe the real truth will come out after Corona's testimony.  In the beginning, the government shouted its voices hoarse into the four winds that Corona had 45 properties not declared in his SALN.  Corona then countered he had only five.  O, di ba napatunatyan nang the prosecutions numbers were a big lie.  Now, the Ombudsman says the CJ had more than $10-million US dollars in the bank, consisting of 82 accounts.  The CJ says that's a "lantern of lies".  I am sure the CJ's testimony will once again reveal the real truth. That truth will set not only the CJ free; but also PNoy's government free from their false accusations from the very outset.
