THE DILEMMA OF JUSTICE SECRETARY DE LIMA


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.

COMPLETE SET OF FEET

Our feet works harder than what we think of. It brings us to lovely places we never been to. The feet carry our body weight all day out all day in. Though tired but never complained.   I was reminded of the song "Foot Prints On The Sands." Where most of the time the songwriter always noticed that there are two sets of footprints on the sand. Suddenly, the lowest point of his time came, at his amazement, there were only one set of footprints on the sands. He complained, because he thought God leave him. A voice from heaven was heard, "My son I never leave you. Yes, there was only one set of footprints on the sand the reason for that is that I carry you." This true to life story made me think that the complete set of feet is not one but two and we must always think this way.

SAVE YOUR SPEECHES FOR THE BEST

THE POLITICAL ARENA IS VERY COLORFUL. WHETHER YOU ARE PARTY MATES OR YOU BELONG TO THE OPPOSING PARTIES, AT THE END OF THE DAY YOU WILL DO YOUR BEST TO OUT-DO AND OUT-WIT ONE ANOTHER FOR ONLY ONE REASON, TO ENSURE VICTORY AND REMAIN ON TOP. LOOK AT THEIR SLOGANS OR WHAT THEY ARE CLAIMING DURING POLITICAL RALLIES AND CAUCUSES. SOME CLAIM THAT THEIR ONLY VICE IS SERVICE (ANG TANGING BISYO NILA AY SERBISYO). SOME SAYS, "BAYAN ANG NO.1, KAMPEON NG PALUPA, TAGAPAGTANGGOL NG KABABAIHAN, KAMPEON NG EDUKASYON, GUSTO KO HAPPY KA, TAPANG AT MALASAKIT, LAYLAYAN NG LIPUNAN, ITULOY ANG DAANG MATUWID AND A LOT MORE. THEIR SPEECHES ARE WELL ORGANIZED AND CRAFTED. THEY WERE EVEN SUPERB IN THE DELIVERY OF THEIR MASTER PIECE. TO BE HONEST AND FAIR, THERE ARE CERTAIN TRUTH TO WHAT THEY ARE SAYING AND CLAIMING BUT MOST OF IT LACED WITH FLOWERY AND SOMETIMES EVEN POISONOUS. SELLING YOURSELF TO THE PEOPLE IS NOT AN EASY JOB. THE PEOPLE WILL KNOW HOW SINCERE YOU ARE AS PUBLIC SE...
