| Corona opening statement, a.k.a. Enrile coffee break |
Not a fan of Chief Justice Renato Corona, but I’m afraid
the administration’s exaggerated accusations are backfiring on them.
You could
almost see the looks of disappointment in the faces of pro-Noynoy! folks as
they struggle to counter Corona’s refutations. Oh, if only such anomalous
properties exist! That would be a face-saver.
In fact, the only advantage of Noynoy! is the length and
boring-ness of Corona’s opening statement, which prosecutors hope would draw
public ire.
[Update: This was written before the speech got interesting with Corona’s tears. Not boring at all! Appealing to emotion, coupled with the simple task of refuting the prosecution’s claims, AND waiving his claim to privacy of his bank accounts, AND challenging his accusers to do the same, serve him well. Galing ng coach niya. But the damage is done, and his rulings are forever questionable.]
WERE CARPIO-MORALES AND CORONA LOVERS?

WERE CARPIO-MORALES AND CORONA LOVERS?
Incumbent Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales and Corona were once Supreme Court associate justices at the same time. Could there have been a love affair back then?...
I have no evidence whatsoever of such but it explains so much of the passion of the allegations, and denials (all done through PowerPoint, whose real relevance to the two possible lovebirds remains a mystery).
A NOTE TO MY READERS/SPAMBOTS
I honestly do not care what happens here. The only reason I am writing now is to accomplish my duty to you, the reader, to provide you with insights (e.g. Conchita-Renato love angle) on Philippine issues. But the outcome of the Corona trial has no implications on the reduction of government.
Whether Noynoy! controls two or three branches of government is not as important as the fact that people still think that the government has anything to do with peaceful society.
I, for one, do not have political connections/enemies, so the success of one or another political party is something of which I do not care. Nor should you.
