"I'd rather go scuba-diving and get lost in the Bermuda triangle than watch the impeachment at home. It's so boring."

[enzoafterdark]

okay talaga si Her Excellence Sen. Miriam. classic hahaha

kaya pag wala sya sa senate parang ang may malaking void 

[maykel]

sinu ba talaga ang iniimbestigahan dito, si CJ Corona o yung wife nya? kasi parang base sa takbo ng case kahapon, ang wife nya ang hindi ayos ang Tax.. ang weird lang.
At saludo talaga ako kay Sen. Miriam, straight to the point talaga sya.

[joshgroban]

ganun talaga pag under investigation.... pati kamaganak mo nasa cruelty ng gustong makisawsaw sa issue...

[maykel]

Sabagay.. just like the other congressmen, hindi ko naman alam kung anu ang mga nakasulat sa Article of Impeachment na kanilang dinidiscuss...

Ang weird lang kasi na puro property ng wife ni CJ Corona ang prinesent nila kahapon.

LEARNINGS FROM DAY 7: Memorable Exchanges, and One-Liners, AHA AHA!

DISCOVERY OF THE DAY: Senator Enrile authored the Internal Revenue Code and he highlighted specific provisions which the witness, BIR commissioner Kim Henares, couldn't answer. Also, I noticed Tupas talked less today. LOL!

MEMORABLE EXCHANGES   

1. SEN. SANTIAGO TO PROSEC LAWYER ARTHUR LIM: 'Don't override me. Don't revise your questions. Don't talk like that. Don't argue with me. Read the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act, letters a to k." Lawyer Arthur Lim complied. SANTIAGO: "Now, where in these provisions fall your verified complaint? Lim mentioned all. The senator retorted: "Ano ba ang batas na ini invoke mo? You're engaging in colloquy."

2.. SEN. JOKER TO KIM HENARES: "The ITRs are confidential. Why were they released? We should caution both prosecution and defense not to release documents until they are offered as evidence." TUPAS: "We haven't released them. We released the Bellagio documents only." SEN. PIA: "But I saw people flashing these on tv. Using them for the media is deceiving the public." ENRILE: "Release of the documents could be a basis for mistrial."

3. ESCUDERO: "Should there be only one specific complaint for each of the 8 hhis appointment? ENRILE: "That's for advicement. No definitive ruling on that."

4. WITNESS KIM HENARES: "Corona's daughter is not capable of buying the property." CUEVAS: "That's your opinion, and it's not allowed."

ONE-LINERS:

1.   ALAN CAYETANO: "The alleged ill-gotten wealth is explainable. There's presumption of innocence. The burden is on the prosecution to prove otherwise."
2.   CUEVAS: "There is nothing in their complaint about acts constituting a violation. Misleading questions. (smile impishly)
3.   JUSTICE CUEVAS, asking witness Kim Henares about her meeting with the Place to seek authority to release Corona's ITRS: "Did they tell you "Durugin mo si Corona?"
4.   ENRILE: "Incapacity to buy is not absolute evidence of ability to purchase."
5.   HONASAN: "The trials outside proceeds faster than inside this court." What about the presumption of innocence of the respondent, and the honor and reputation of the family of the respondent?
6.    SEN. SANTIAGO TO WITNESS KIM HENARES: "You're an ordinary witness: you're not allowed to form an opinion."
7.   ENRILE'S LECTURE TO TUPAS: "Specify documents to be requested from the banks. You were requesting all kinds of documents from real estate developers. You give the impression that you are fishing for evidence."
8.   SEN. ENRILE TO ARTHUR LIM: "You're too jumpy."

AHA! AHA! :

1.   GRAMMAR POLICE TAKE NOTE: Citing a paragraph in SALN form, Cayetano noted the following typo errors: "I hereby authorize the Ombudsman or his DULY REPRESENTATIVE to INCLUSE..."

2.   ENRILE: "Witnesses to be called later should be placed in a CONFINEMENT AREA so they won't hear. ESTRADA: May TV ba dun sa confinement area?

3.   I wonder why documents are marked Quintuple C, Quintuple F, etc. as I don't remember those marked as Quadruple in previous days.

4.   CUEVAS TO WITNESS KIM HENARES: "Were you in conference with Tupas?" KIM. Yes, I met HER in one of the meetings." Confirmed!

[vir]

nice!

wala bang Lapid?hahaha..

It is possible kasi na yung supposed "ill-gotten" wealth ni Corona ay maintransfer sa name ng asawa or anak. So possible na accessory to the crime yung family niya. But then again, they need to prove it pa.

sabi nga ni Corona, ang anak niya ay isang physician sa US, sa sinusweldo ng anak niya.. wala bang kakayahan iyon bumili ng sariling bahay at lupa sa Pinas?

it does not necessarily mean na if you have a good earning job, even if professional pa siya sa US, it follows na you are capable of buying a house and lot. Graduate ng Ateneo mayaman na agad? But then again, anu ba basihan ng pagiging isang mayaman. Accdg to BIR Comm as far as the ITR is concern, that level of income is not capable of procuring a house and lot. Fair point naman. but then again, the basis of the Comm is only the ITR. Hindi naman included sa ITR ang income from other sources like stocks, etc. Still the burden of proof ay nasa prosecution.
