I FOR ONE COMMEND THE FIRM STAND MADE BY THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE SECRETARY LEILA DE LIMA FOR STANDING HER GROUND AS THE WITNESS OF THE PROSECUTION TEAM AGAINST THE CHIEF JUSTICE RENATO CORONADO CORONA WITH REGARDS TO ARTICLE 7 OF THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL ALLEGEDLY SHOWING THE IMPARTIALITY OF THE CHIEF JUSTICE RENATO CORONA IN THE ISSUANCE OF TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER TO FORMER PRESIDENT GLORIA MACAPAGAL ARROYO ET.AL.
IN THE BEGINNING OF THE TRIAL, SECRETARY DE LIMA NARRATED THE STORY OF HOW THE CHIEF JUSTICE SHOW HIS IMPARTIALITY IN THE IST, 2ND AND 3RD EN BANC RESOLUTION BUT SHE RELIED HEAVILY ON THE DISSENTING OPINION OF ASSOCIATE JUSTICE SERENO TO PROVE HER ALLEGATION.
ALTHOUGH HER NARRATIVE STAND AS IT IS BUT IT CANNOT BE USED AS EVIDENCE BECAUSE IT FALLS UNDER THE CATEGORY OF HEARSAY EVIDENCE BECAUSE SHE IS NOT BODILY PRESENT AND HAD NO DIRECT PARTICIPATION WHATSOEVER IN THE DECISION MAKING OF THE SAID RESOLUTION.
THE DILEMMA OF DE LIMA WENT INTO DEEPER WHEN THE SENATOR JUDGES ASKED HER CLARIFICATORY QUESTIONS. SHE DEFIES THE DECISION OF THE SUPREME COURT ON THE BASIS OF MEMORANDUM CIRCULAR WHICH IS NOT BACKED UP BY ANY EXISTING LAW OF THE LAND.
IT IS ALSO SAD TO NOTE THAT A FORMER HUMAN RIGHT LAWYER AND ONCE A UPON A TIME APPOINTEE OF FORMER PRESIDENT GLORIA MACAPAGAL ARROYO VIOLATED THE RIGHT OF HER FORMER DISCOVERER.
IN MY OWN OPINION, THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE SECRETARY GO BEYOND THE CALL OF HER DUTY AND GUILTY OF THE SAME OFFENSE.
SENATOR JUDGE JINGGOY ESTRADA SAID AND I QUOTE, " MADAM SECRETARY THERE ARE HEARSAY CIRCULATING AROUND THAT IF CHIEF JUSTICE RENATO CORONA INDEED IMPEACH BY THIS IMPEACHMENT COURT, YOU ARE THE ONE HAND PICKED TO REPLACE HIM."
THOUGH THE FEARLESS JUSTICE SECRETARY CATEGORICALLY DENIED IT, BUT WE CANNOT DISCARD ITS PROBABILITY.
I HOPE THAT NO ONE PRESSURED OR INFLUENCED THE GOOD SECRETARY OF JUSTICE TO GO AGAINST HER WILL AND DECLARE WAR TO THE VERY PERSON THAT ONCE TRUSTED HER.
