The Chief Justice on Trial

The headlines today are all about the impeachment trial of Supreme Court chief Justice Renato Corona and this is unquestionably the most significant political and legal trial to happen in history now.

This is a historical event, because this is the first time in our country that the person who is supposed to advocate the law of the Philippines is being put on trial for impeachment.

Can it be fair?

 

The country is extremely known for having a slow, unreasonable and unfair justice system. Whether guilty or not, Corona himself must go through due process of the law. It’ll works depends on how things are handled. The Chief Justice still has the opportunity to clear his name to the accusation that he is indeed innocent. And the rest of us will be given an instant view on his personal lifestyle and his wealth.

Vidal said she would if the impeachment court required her to, adding that she believes the SC would grant the request and she simply needed time to get the high court’s approval.

Impeachment VS Corona – Day 4

Defense blocks presentation of evidence on Corona property upon cross-examination by defense counsel Serafin Cuevas, Rutaquio admitted that he was not present when the certificates of title and deeds of sale were processed. However, he was quick to add that the documents would not have reached him unless these had passed through the normal registration process of the Registry of Deeds of Taguig.

Impeachment VS Corona – Day 5

Justice delayed is justice denied, Senator-judge Miriam Defensor-Santiago pointed out the “quasi-political and quasi-judicial” nature of the impeachment trial, which dictates the need for a speedy trial that would satisfy the public while adhering to the applicable rules of court. But she said the Rules of Court do not apply totally to the impeachment proceedings.

Impeachment VS Corona – Day 6

            Of course, red will be a very lucky color for everyone, also pink and tangerine. 

            But if you want something really special and something that you could always bring anywhere, you can try charm bracelets and accessories. Each crystal or charm calls for a different kind of luck, these are some examples:

Crystal and stone are normally associated with love in Feng Shui.

The dragon turtle is the Feng Shui lucky charm for wealth.

A jade dragon pendant is good to wear if you want a charm for your family.

No matter what charm you buy and put to yourself, it is still up to you on how you will attract good fortune and that is if you’ll work diligently, be careful, respect others and pay attention to your loved ones.

This will be a good year. Spread the positivity everyone.
