Noy retreats from oust-Corona move
By Aytch S. de la Cruz12/12/2010
President Aquino backtracked yesterday on an all-out campaign to oust Chief Justice Renato Corona, indicating he is no longer planning to support any impeachment complaints that his allies may push in Congress against the Supreme Court (SC) head.
Aquino’s statement was in contrast to his belligerent mood last Wednesday when he indicated plans of supporting moves to impeach Corona after the SC voted down Executive Order 1 that created the Philippine Truth Commission.
He clarified he was not the one who started the impeachment issue, saying he received calls to that effect from his allies in Congress even as none of his allies acknowledged having conveyed such plans to him.
