De Lima warns SC: Aquino to reclaim court for the people

MANILA, Philippines—Justice Secretary Leila De Lima strongly warned the 10 Arroyo-appointed associate justices at the Supreme Court they could face impeachment as well, saying President Benigno Aquino was “reclaiming the court for the people.”
“The Supreme Court belongs to the people,” De Lima said in a statement three days after Aquino’s allies in Congress moved to impeach Chief Justice Renato Corona.

“And when the Arroyo justices start thinking that in protecting [former President Gloria Macapagal] Arroyo, they are shorn of any accountability, not even by impeachment, then it is time the people, through their representatives in Congress, impeach them. It is time the President and Congress reclaim the Court for the people,” De Lima said.

Thirteen members of the high tribunal, including Corona, were appointed by Arroyo.

Corona and Associate Justice Mariano Del Castillo have separate impeachment cases.
Iloilo Representative Niel Tupas Jr. said two more justices could also face impeachment complaints. He did not elaborate.

The unprecedented push to impeach Corona came after the Supreme Court made a series of decisions that Malacañang said hindered government efforts to prosecute Arroyo for alleged corruption.

“Some members of the Supreme Court may belong to Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. But the Supreme Court, the institution, the Supreme Court of the people, can never belong to Corona or to Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo,” De Lima said.

Aside from Corona and Del Castillo, other justices appointed by Arroyo are Associate Justices Antonio Carpio, Teresita Leonardo De Castro, Diosdado Peralta, Arturo Brion, Roberto Abad, Presbitero Velasco, Jose Mendoza, Jose Perez, Martin Villarama and Lucas Bersamin.

Meanwhile, the associate justices appointed by Aquino are Maria Lourdes Sereno,
Bienvenido Reyes and Estela Perlas Bernabe.

Aquino, who won presidential elections last year in a landslide, has never fully recognised Corona’s legitimacy as the Supreme Court chief justice.

This is because Arroyo appointed Corona shortly before she stepped down as president, in what Aquino said was a violation of a constitutional ban on so-called “midnight appointments” by an outgoing leader.

Aquino’s allies have said Arroyo planted Corona in the Supreme Court as part of her efforts to protect herself from future criminal prosecutions.

Arroyo, who ruled the Philippines from 2001 to 2010, has been accused of rigging elections, plundering state coffers and a wide range of other corruption while in power.

She has denied all the accusations.

The government filed the first of what it promised would be many charges against Arroyo last month for allegedly rigging the 2007 senatorial elections.
Corona made a defiant speech to court officials on Monday in which he vowed to resist the political pressure.

“I assure you, I do not intend to leave them to do as they please. I am not going anywhere,” Corona said in a speech to court employees.

“I want all of you to know that your chief continues to be in command and will lead the fight against any and all who dare to destroy the court and independence of the judiciary.”

Corona said his impeachment was linked to the Aquino administration’s eagerness to control the high court by installing justices “who will grant their every request.”

“It seems that they’ve become restless because they cannot designate their own chief justice if they will follow the Constitution. That’s why they labeled me as a stumbling block to economic development and to the realization of their campaign promise,” he said.

The Chief Justice said the allegations against him were malicious and mere fabrications.
“Maybe the enemies of the court thought that since they cannot dictate upon me and other members of the tribunal, they can force us to resign,” he said. “But I will never allow this attempt to put the Supreme Court under the control of another branch of the government. I will be the first to oppose it. I will be the first to fight it.”

The Supreme Court on November 24 ordered that the sprawling Hacienda Luisita controlled by Aquino’s family be given to more than 6,000 farmers who had worked there for years.

As if kahapon ka lang ipinanganak! Hahahaha.

Try asking Ms. Carmen Pedrosa about previous results. Then we don't have to spend money and effort just to let the Filipinos know.

Hindi naman sa takot tayo kay Pnot! Nakakaawa lang ang mga bata, lalaki sila na malabo ang future, yun lang.

[b_two]

imo di nya kayang maging diktador tulad ni marcos... ang gusto kong sabihin ay nakakatakot ang ginagawa nya kasi sinisira nya ang pundasyon ng isang sangay ng pamahalaan. kahit pa sabihin nila pnoy na ginagawa ito para sa tuwid na daan, paano tayo nakasisiguro na tama nga ang tuwid na daan na gusto nilang lakaran natin? dahil ba sinabi nilang tama ay automatic na tama na agad? karamihan ng nakapaligid kay pnoy ay nakapaligid din dati sa mga sinundan nya, kung sa tingin ni pnoy mali ang nagawa ng mga sinundan nya... dapat siguro tumingin muna syang mabuti sa mga taong nakapaligid sa kanya pagkatapos ay mag-isip-isip.

[absinthe_888]

From Sec, de5: (Napanuod ko lang ngayon sa ANC)

All Arroyo justices must be impeached.

Aquino dares Corona to show statement of assets and liabilities

MANILA, Philippines—President Benigno Aquino dared Chief Justice Renato Corona on Thursday to reveal his statements of assets, liabilities and net worth if it is true as he claimed in a speech lambasting the President on Wednesday that he has religiously been filing such statements.

“There’s one notable thing. From what I understand, he said that he files his SALN every year. Now, it was easy yesterday when he was speaking to show a copy of his SALN.

But didn’t you notice he didn’t do so?” Aquino told reporters in Malacañang.

Aquino fielded questions about his reaction to Corona’s speech on Wednesday. Corona hit back at Aquino after the administration allies in the House of Representatives impeached the Chief Justice early this week.

“Perhaps by next week it would be revealed, but yesterday, when he said he filed [his SALN], isn’t the simplest statement, `This was what I filed, isn’t it clear?’ But he didn’t do it. Why?” the President said.
