The impeachment trial of Supreme Court (SC) Chief Justice Renato Corona at the Senate court is being anticipated by Filipinos similar to the great expectations they have for the next telenovela series.
The similar proceedings conducted on former President Joseph Estrada, that became an almost daily fare, provides a good guidepost on the trial process.
Sen. Miriam Defensor Santiago, however, said that while there would be a lot of similarity between the impeachment process of Estrada and Corona, the Senate has learned a lot, and many of the jurors in the Senate court against Estrada will be seated in the Corona trial, and would be wiser this time around, particularly in making sure that the process is seen to its logical conclusion.....

napakalaki rin ang pagkakaiba ng corona at estrada impeachment. si erap ay tunay na halal ng bayan, hindi nandaya subali't pinagkaisahan pa rin ng mga yellow business and political elites (at ayon sa isang journalist & retired mass comm dean ay pati ang kalbong agila) at pati ang medyo naligaw o naging taktikal na kaliwa.....tapos, sila arrobo, power grab ang habol at itong si abs ay hacienda luisita ang habol. LOL.

"The Estrada trial was never completed and a walkout of the House prosecutors over an argument on an envelope that majority of jurors ruled not to open touched off the Edsa coup d’etat that installed Gloria Arroyo, sending the nation into nine years of an Arroyo rule."
Why do filipinos enjoy watching someone go down in flames?
Maybe not all, but mainstream media makes it looks like a lot.
Bored I guess...
Sure, get rid of the boogieman without much drama and move on already.
Send in the clowns...
