The “incident” at the Senate Impeachment court where the Chief Justice Renato Corona surprised everyone by his declaration of a waiver allowing most government agencies to access his bank accounts… only to give a pathetic condition later on that all 188 congressmen, who signed his Impeachment complaint, plus a special mentioned Senator Franklin Drilon, would also sign similar waivers, then CJ hurriedly walks out of the courtroom before he could be cross-examined…… was like similar to having sex with your wife at a point where both of you are almost reaching climax, at the peak of intimacy……then all of a sudden your child walks into your room and sees the two of you while in coitous.
When the CJ returned to the courtroom (he probably couldn’t leave because the Senate President and presiding impeachment court senator judge Juan Ponce Enrile ordered all Senate doors and gates locked), he was in a wheelchair….like a limp penis several minutes after pleasing himself.
I believe he’s far more relieved, while most of us at the courtroom had been abruptly stopped from ejaculating!
Kudos to CJs “scriptwriter”, or the men and women behind the grand mischievous scheme no “tele-serye” writer could have ever thought of.
The Philippine local cinema and TV stations could use their impressive talent.
I used a Compensatory Day-Off (CDO) to witness in person the Impeachment Trial at the Senate last Tuesday, May 22, 2012.
I was there as early as 7 am and was in queue already. I estimated to be number 22 in line. When 8 am came, a security guard in barong informed us that there were no more tickets available. Many of us didn’t believe and many questioned the announcement because the Senate was suppose to distribute the tickets starting 11 am only. I approached the said security, and asked him who gave the message. He wouldn’t say the source but he hinted that there were people from Corona’s Supreme Court group, and from the Senators group that reserved most of the tickets. When he wouldn’t reveal the source, I continued to remain in line and was hoping it was just a trick to send people away.
Around 8:30 am, somebody who introduced himself as the convenor for a certain organization affiliated with the Corona Resign (CoRe) movement went in to the Senate grounds to verify if there was any truth to the announcement that there was no more tickets available to the public, from the Senate security. When he came back, he informed us that there was no truth to the announcement. He said the security who gave the earlier announcement was from an agency and not directly connected to the Senate. He also advised that we should form two lines, one for the senior citizens and then another line for the rest of the crowd. Blue tickets will be for the senior citizens, while the yellow tickets were for the remaining crowd. We waited in line until 11 am while we witness a lot of reporters and camera men roaming around the place interviewing some of the people in line.
Past 11 am, the Senate security finally came out to distribute tickets. One was carrying a box supposed to be containing the tickets. However, we were shocked to find out that they will be giving out only 40 passes or tickets to the public. Another uproar from the crowd. Again, the reporters had a feast interviewing the disappointed crowd. Whatever happened to the 110 tickets?
Apparently, there was truth to the original announcement, and that they just decided to giveaway additional tickets to appease the angry crowd. The 40 tickets were just to save face.
Unfortunately, I still was not able to get a ticket eventhough I was inclusive of the 40 already in line. It just so happens that a bunch of guys pretending to be senior citizens created a third line in between our own lines. Security was powerless to interfere.
I could have gotten the last ticket available because It was my turn to be served, but another guy from the back hurled himself towards the front of the line grabbing the last ticket.
I was just too kind and considerate to raise a complaint.
I was more disappointed to have realized that the guy who took my ticket was the same guy who was suppose to be fighting for the right values. I just said to myself, maybe he’s just too hopeless to get in, he would step on somebody’s toes just to get in.
Later….after still hanging around hoping there will be new tickets for distribution, I even resorted to asking an individual who got hold of a ticket if she could sell it to me instead.
Whoa!, I was surprised I even thought of that…just for a chance to personally see the Chief Justice testify. It was fortunate for me she refused because I couldn’t have forgiven myself at the end of the day.
But, I believe it was fate for me to see the trial in person……………….. for later in the afternoon, I was able to get inside the Senate Session Hall at the 2nd floor, and was able to watch the trial from one of the better seats in the gallery even without that damn ticket. Imagine that I had to sacrifice falling in line for several hours, only to get none. Then, finding out there was a much easier and convenient, though risky, but sure way of getting in.
Want to know how I was able to get in?
Well, it’s too shameful to discuss online ……and too shameful for the “special” people of the Senate..
All I can say is…we live in a really “dirty” world. ….it’s freaking me up towards the level of insanity!
Damn, I am slowly hating myself!
Huling Hirit:
“I beg you, ladies and gentlemen of the prosecution, not to engage me in argumentation about who is on trial here. We—you and me—are on trial here. Let’s stop all the posturing to show the Filipino nation what we’re made of. This is no trick or manipulation. This is an invitation, a challenge for public accountability made only with the hope that we can all together give our nation one shining moment in public service.” – Chief Justice Renato Corona
“I have high respect for the Chief Justice, for the institution he represents. But I equally demand respect for the institution that I represent. I am not going to allow any slight, any abuse of authority against this court for as long as I am the presiding officer.” – Senator Juan Ponce Enrile
