CRITICS TOLD TO FORMALIZE OPPOSITION INSTEAD
Impeach Corona call knee-jerk reaction—SC
By Benjamin B. Pulta and Gerry Baldo12/10/2010
President Aquino started the talk of his allies in the House of Representatives’ move to impeach the head of the judiciary, following the Supreme Court (SC) ruling that struck down Executive Order 1 (EO 1) creating the Philippine Truth Commission (PTC).
It appears, however, that none of his allies even heard of such talk of impeaching the Chief Justice on such a flimsy ground and denied that there was even talk of a move to impeach him, which fueled more talk of Aquino having raised again the impeachment threat against SC Chief Justice Renato Corona because he didn’t have his way again in the high court.
Amid reports of a brewing campaign to impeach Corona over the high tribunal’s decision to void Aquino’s EO1 creating the PTC, SC acting spokesman Ma. Victoria Gleoresty Guerra, at a press briefing yesterday, said that Corona is calling on his critics to “read his 24-page opinion” before condeming the ruling.
