MAKE MY DAY: A soap called “IMPEACHMENT”
…ang saya saya!
I will rate the opening; rather the first day…call it as you
like as living up to people’s expectations. It is better; forgive my choice if
you are a Coco Martin fun but the Impeachment really did made my day more than “Walang
Hanggan” opening episode.
Funny; both corners claiming not ready agreed to postpone
the second day of the show.
Oops! Why both sides? Good question; even the media missed
the point. The prosecution insisted to begin with the #2 article of impeachment
that was understandably opposed by the indefatigable 83 years old orator Cuevas
of the defense. I wish I could be as sharp and as booming of speech as the 83
years old Cuevas when I get to that point in my age; well, if I ever get there.
How many people reach that far in their lives…not many?
The prosecution insisted; they were ready for article number
2 not article number 1 while the defense prepared and were ready for article
number one not article number 2 meaning likewise, they were ready and not ready
whoahaha! Where are the fireworks?
I think and I am saying this with a grin on my face that the
prosecutors were influenced by a law professor from UP who appeared on TV
Patrol on day 1 of the impeachment. Kabayan Noli asked professor if she were
given the choice; which of the article of impeachment will she start with? The “ill
gotten wealth,” (sorry; I think she used another term) she replied without
blinking. You are not going to put the CJ in jail nor confiscate his
properties. This is an impeachment court not a criminal court. All you need to
show is a “betrayal of public trust” that will render Corona unfit to sit as CJ
which is what this impeachment is all about and besides; you have documents to
support your claims. It is easy.
Obviously; the prosecutors took the cue :-)
MANILA, Philippines—The prosecution team’s lack of preparation to present its first evidence against Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato Corona prompted the postponement of the impeachment trial in the Senate on Tuesday.
“The prosecution is not prepared to present evidence today, the court moto propio postpones the trial until tomorrow afternoon at 2:00,” said Senate President Juan Ponce-Enrile, who presided over the trial.
