‘Corona impeachment, part of struggle to hold Arroyo liable’ – groups
“We need to hold him accountable for the long list of anti-people
rulings he supported to favor his patron Macapagal-Arroyo… But with
this move we hope that the next Chief Justice would be truly independent
and decide cases for the genuine interest of the people. We do not want
an Arroyo court to be replaced by an Aquino court.” – Bayan Muna Rep.

MANILA – Progressive groups have expressed support for the
impeachment of Supreme Court Justice Renato Corona, saying “it is part
of the struggle to hold former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo liable
for her crimes against the people.”
Nathaniel Santiago, secretary general of Bayan Muna, said the SC,
under the leadership of Corona, gave Mrs. Arroyo an opportunity to
escape prosecution when it issued a temporary restraining order (TRO)
against the Department of Justice (DOJ)’s watch list order against the
former president and her husband Jose Miguel Arroyo.
In the impeachment complaint signed by 188 lawmakers at the House of
Representatives, this was cited as “the biggest and most sensational
charge against Corona. “The SC under Corona immediately acted upon the
Macapagal-Arroyo’s petition and granted the TRO despite the fact
that there are clear inconsistencies in the petition,” they said
in the impeachment complaint.”
Although party-list representatives of Bayan Muna, Anakpawis,
Gabriela Women’s Party, Kabataan Party-List and ACT Teachers Party-List
signed the impeachment against Corona, they also warned against the
creation of an “Aquino court.”
According to the impeachment complaint, 78 percent of Corona’s decision favored Arroyo.
Corona served Arroyo as her chief of staff, spokesman when she was vice
president, presidential chief-of-staff, presidential spokesman,
and acting executive secretary..... MORE

"Kabataan’s Raymond Palatino, in the meantime, said that “while the impeachment of Chief Justice Renato Corona should be supported on the basis of his blind loyalty to former President Arroyo despite her crimes against the people, I stress the necessity to exercise vigilance against moves to establish as replacement an Aquino court.”"
