Why CJ Corona must not be convicted by the Senate?

1. On the issue of bias decisions in favor of CGMA:

CJ Corona is entitled only to one vote. The decisions of the Supreme Court cannot be attributed to one justice alone owing to its nature of being a collegial body. Nonetheless, if voting patterns is considered, there are far more decisions of the court in which CJ Corona did not vote in favor of GMA than those favorable to the former president.

2. On the issue of non-disclosure of dollar accounts in his SALN:

CJ Corona did not declare his dollar accounts because he believed “in good faith” in the confidentiality of foreign deposits as provided by the laws on banking secrecy and foreign currency deposit units (FCDU). If he did so, then it would contravene the very law that Congress itself has passed. If there is conflict or ambiguity in the interpretation of the law, it is Congress itself that is to be blamed. Reliance in good faith in the law that Congress passed is not a crime. You cannot put an ordinary man behind bars for a law that in itself is ambiguous.

3. On the issue of betrayal of public trust:

Is reforming the bar exams to set minimum standards for admission to the law profession betrayal of public trust?

Is de-congesting court dockets and promoting alternative dispute resolution to avoid arduous case trial betrayal of public trust?

Is voting for the distribution of the Hacienda Luisita to the farmers betrayal of public trust?

Is voting in favor of farmers in the case of coco levy funds betrayal of public trust?

Is voting to protect an ordinary man's right to travel and presumption of innocence betrayal of public trust?

Is signing a waiver to disclose dollar accounts of the CJ himself and all Congressmen that has set the standard of transparency in public service betrayal of public trust?

If it is, then our senators have a wrong understanding of public trust. If they convict the Chief Justice on the ground of these baseless allegations then there is reason to believe that in this nation, tuwid na daan means: ang baluktot tinutuwid at ang tuwid binabaluktot.

STOP DIRTY POLITICS. This impeachment trial is not a venue for selfish political ambitions.

STOP PERSECUTION. Let us not make the impeachment trial a way to harass justices of the Supreme Court and thus undermine Independence of the Philippine Judiciary.

STOP YELLOW RULE. Once and for all, set this nation free!

Free from the control of very few wealthy hacienderos while the rest of the nation is in poverty!

Free from blind hero worship of the Yellow clan who did nothing for this country except to ensure their class survival.

Free from the bondage of Yellow media manipulation that ensures continued ignorance of the Filipino masses.

Ang Laban ni CJ Corona, ay Laban ng karaniwang mamamayan.
Ang Laban ni CJ Corona, ay Laban ng Bayan.

Wag nating hayaan na sa yugtong ito ng ating kasaysayan,
Dilaw at hindi Batas ang manalaytay.
