Honestly I do not really follow on this topic because of lack of time but I will try my very best to blog about this topic as much as I can.
Renato Corona, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the Philippines was impeached on December 12, 2011. Corona was the third official. The first one was, President Joseph Estrada on 2000 for the crime of plunder. Second, is Ombudsman Merceditas Gutierrez earlier on 2011, to be impeached by the House of Representatives. Finally, former president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, who had appointed him as chief justice of the Supreme Court, days after the 2010 presidential election. This comes after the Supreme Court ruled that the president's ban on appointments does not extend to the judiciary. Since then, the Supreme Court has been accused of ruling unfavorably of the Aquino administration in cases concerning Arroyo. Well an impeachment is done when a formal process in which an official is accused of unlawful activity, the outcome of which, depending on the country, may include the removal of that official from office as well as other punishment. Which means that if an official of the government does something wrong or steals from the government they will be placed in trial.
Whether C.J. Corona is guilty or not his good reputation has already been damaged.
