5th petition to stop Corona impeach trial filed
THE Philippine Senate has no right to proceed with the impeachment trial of Chief Justice Renato Corona since the complaint signed by nearly 200 congressmen last year was not made under oath, two lawyers said Tuesday.
Petitioners former Misamis Oriental governor Homobono Adaza and lawyer of former President Joseph Estrada, Alan Paguia, said the complaint was illegal and unconstitutional due to lack of proper verification process.
“Under the third Paragraph of Section 3, Rule 7 of the Rules, an unsigned pleading produces no legal effect,” the 23-page petition read.
Senators, acting as judges on the complaint, will resume their legislative duties after a month-long holiday break on January 16 but actual trial may begin later if Corona’s request for pre-trial will be granted.
A pre-trial will help expedite the proceedings since the process will determine how many witnesses will be summoned and what documents will be presented by both the prosecution and defense panels.
Justices will be on a full-court session on January 17, where they are expected to rule on the petitions seeking to stop the impeachment trial.
Similar petitions were earlier filed by lawyer Vladimir Cabigao, tax informer Danilo Lihaylihay, Oliver Lozano, and former Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP) president Vicente Millora.
Reached by phone, Paguia chided the speedy disposition of the impeachment complaint in the House of Representatives, which was supported by President Benigno Aquino III.
“We want the SC to rule definitively on the railroading process that our elected representatives undertook the impeachment. It is very unconstitutional,” he said.
The petition also cited that some of the majority leaders in the House failed to sign the complaint as congressmen were not even given enough time to review and read the complaint against Corona.
They include Deputy Speaker Pablo Garcia; Deputy Speaker Jesus Crispin Remulla; Assistant Majority Leader Roman Romulo; appropriation committee chair Joseph Emilio Abaya; committee on appointment members Rodante Marcoleta and Luis Villafuerte; bank and intermediaries committee chair Sergio Apostol; basic education committee chair Salvador Escudero III; Economics Affairs Committee chair Ramon Durano VI; Natural Resources Committee Chair Ramon Matugas, Public order and Security Committee Chair Pablo John Garcia; Defense Committee Chair Rodolfo Biazon; health Committee chair Alfredo Maranon III; information and communications committee chair Sigfrido Tinga; and Labor Committee chair Emil Ong.
In late December, Batangas Representative Hermilando Mandanas was fired as chairman of the powerful House ways and means committee after refusing to sign the complaint.
However, Aquino said the lawmaker was replaced because he had a different stand on the revenue-generating measures of the government. (Sunnex)
