Chief Justice Renato Corona appeared before the Senate impeachment trial and announced that he is waiving his right not to disclose his foreign bank deposit accounts.
He likewise, extended his hand of reconciliation to his in-laws, the Basas, who went back here in the Philippines to listen to the Chief Justice's "bare-all" revelations before the Courts.
Corona, who suffered a glycemic attack several days ago, appeared today to continue his opening "testimony" before the impeachment court.
He, along with his wife, Cristina, extended their hands of friendship to their relatives, the Basas and the Rocos. The Coronas asked forgiveness from the Basas.
It seems like all ends well between the Coronas and the Basas.
Now, it seems that this thing is finally over between the two "warring" families.
Corona, in an interview says that the reason why he gave his unconditional waiver is to raise the bar of expectations of the people from their elected and appointed government official.
This waiver is intended to clear all doubts as to the legality or illegality of Corona's bank accounts.
Corona's act signifies his clear and unequivocal intention of really baring everything before the Filipino people.
His heroic act right now shows a man who is not bothered by his conscience. Maybe he is telling the truth.
get real! really baring everything? maybe he is telling the truth?
ReplyDeletewhy didn't he release this much earlier for true transparency when the trial started? do you think the money is still there? do you really think an ordinary citizen of a country where majority of its people are poor can take time out from their jobs (if they have one) to look into a painstaking paper trail?
i recall you being such an anti-gma writer. all of a sudden, you're pro-corona? were you paid? don't you remember what gma did to our country? don't you remember the tro that corona would always provide gma? don't you remember corona is a midnight appointee of gma?
out of P80M in his account, only P3.5M is his? if his kids have more money, then he should put his money in their account. and he mentioned he learned from the basa-guidotte family squabble. don't you think his kids will also argue how much of their money is in that bank account of his?
you must have been drunk AND drugged when you wrote this. and please add a new reaction for readers - "bullshit" because that's what you wrote. i certainly hope you post this comment.
Republic Act 6426 was enacted to encourage financial investments in the country, not to hide your wealth from other politicians and the filipino people.
