It is good that Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile has advised one and all that only a military action can prevent the Upper Chamber from proceeding and concluding the impeachment of Chief Justice Renato Corona. Saying he will not countenance any delaying tactics by any party including those hell bent on shaming Corona through pickets in his house, “occupy” operations and similar actions or even a walk-out by any of the parties such as what the prosecutors did during the aborted trial of then President Erap Estrada, Enrile advised all concerned to behave, as it were, and work within the rules as prescribed under the Constitution.

"That statement should have ended the debate about Corona’s degree. But no. Some quarters continue to beat it like a dead horse if only to have more mud thrown at the Chief Justice. Being self-proclaimed “reformists” who have nothing to show for all the years they have taken to bringing our institutions down they simply cannot resist hounding their favorite scapegoat to justify their soiled existence. The Estrada playbook is being played out yet again. Pray these guys will not succeed this time otherwise we will truly descend to the abyss and, as the late Justice Cecilia Muñoz-Palma cautioned during the Estrada impeachment express, be instituted into the infamous roster of “Banana Republics.”"
