Chief Justice Corona: GUILTY

For about 200 days with 43 trial days, people were waiting for the judgement of the court regarding the impeachment case against the Chief Justice Renato Corona. It was the second impeachment trial in Philippine history since Ombudsman Merceditas Gutierrez had resigned prior to the start of her trial. It is all about the undeclared properties to his SALN. Some people were agreed about the impeachment while some were pro-Corona. Both sides were heard. They were given time to say what's on their side to defend onto where they were stand, the prosecution and the defense team. There they showed evidences regarding the cases.

I wasn't able to watch the trials because I was in school. But, on the last day of hearing, on the deciding day, I was able to watch it with my mother. What is my stand? hmmp. I am in favor of the impeachment trial. and so is my mother. Upon watching it on television, we were puzzled about the decisions of the senators as judges. But, we are confident enough that majority of them were against Corona. Hehehe. Yet, were still nervous about the result. We felt a little bit cold. Hehehe. Before it started, we're already counting on who is against and in favor of the Chief Justice. Regarding with our guesses, we were right on most of them. Senators were given time to explain their decision on why they were against or the other way. There were only 16 votes needed to convict the chief justice. There were only 23 senators to decide since Senator Benigno Aquino became our president. Three of them voted Corona as NOT GUILTY namely Sen. Joker Arroyo, Sen. Miriam Defensor Santiago, and Sen. Ferdinand Marcos, Jr.. And the rest of them, they were in favor for the impeachment of the Chief Justice Corona. Therefore, Chief Justice Corona is GUILTY!
