I always try to monitor the on-going impeachment trial of Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato Corona in the Senate either thru DZMM or ANC. Yesterday, it was BIR Commissioner Kim Henares who authenticated the Income Tax Returns of CJ Corona and his wife from 2006 to 2010 (2002-2005 not available since BIR has no copies of SC’s alpha lists for those years).
I respect Senator Miriam Santiago’s point but I think the time given to the prosecution to question further Commissioner Henares gave expectators a much clearer picture of what the prosecution is claiming about CJ Corona. Senator Ralph Recto came to question also the witness and found out the truth about on what records did the BIR only have pertaining to CJ Corona and what they don’t have.
Will those records show betrayal of public trust and ill-gotten wealth? That will rely on the authorities who will scrutinize the documents and other supporting evidences and witnesses in the future.
Nevertheless, let us all be patient with how the impeachment is going on and give our trust and confidence to our Senate that they will make a just and wise decision over this trial. Let us all pray.
