When was cj corona impeached

This impeachment sends a chilling threat to the Supreme Court, to withhold the exercise of its judicial power and just let the President have his way. Unfortunately, his obsessive pursuit of his goal has, at times, resulted in the infringement of the law.

All who hold positions in the government of our Republic are accountable for their actions. Today, we begin to perform a solemn task that the sovereign people, through the Constitution they ordained, have reposed upon us, the Senators of the Republic. We convene as a body of jurors to try and render judgment on the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court under the Articles of Impeachment filed with the Senate by members of the House of Representatives.

Long battle ahead for Gloria Arroyo. Row over Philippines judge post. Senate of the Philippines. Supreme Court of the Philippines. Mr Corona is accused of failing to declare millions of dollars in more than 80 bank accounts.

His lawyers say that as a diabetic, he felt unwell. By then, Noynoy Aquino had emerged from an election that saw him gaining a broad popular mandate. But his targeting of CJ Corona made me recoil in protest despite his popular mandate, prompting me to send a text to lawyer Michael Musngi, whom I called Mike.

It was the first time that I voiced an opinion to Mike Musngi against the Aquino administration. In my text, I criticized why they were impeaching CJ Corona on what was then turning out to be a mere error in his SALN, which could simply be corrected.

Mike happened to be a close friend of the lady student, and he came into contact with Noynoy Aquino. In short, Noynoy Aquino also courted Mike Musngi to win the object of his heart. Noynoy Aquino appointed him as Sandiganbayan justice. He has been serving in such capacity up to now. Mike was my classmate for four years at the Ateneo de Manila University when we studied for our college degree in political science.

Bordering on insult, his text to me embittered me even more, serving to further disillusion me in the face of the illegitimate assault of his boss Noynoy Aquino. Since then, I have never again sent even one single text to my erstwhile friend and classmate Mike Musngi. During the inauguration speech of President Aquino, he mentioned about ways on improving the Philippine economy and eradicating poverty in the country. The President also warned those who were put in positions in the government by unlawful means, he warned those who have intentions to ruin or block the country on progressing.

The President mentioned that the government wanted to gain back the trust of its people by reviewing midnight appointments. One of the midnight appointees of Former Pres. Arroyo is Chief Justice Renato C. Corona, in the Senate.
