Chief Justice Renato Corona’s impeachment trial starts today. As expected, it is already a hot topic on social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter. The topic #CJonTrial is in fact already trending on Twitter and could replace #GoldenGlobes as the number one trending topic anytime soon.
The impeachment of Chief Justice Renato Corona is a historic event since he could be the first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court to be removed from his post if the Senate votes so. It’s therefore expected for Filipinos to air their opinions on the matter.
At the impeachment trial, the members of the Senate will sit as judges to determine whether Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato Corona should be removed from his post. The Constitution requires the vote of two-thirds of the senators, 16 in this instance, for Corona to be removed from his post.
Amidst calls for resignation, Chief Justice Corona says only death can remove him from his post.
Let’s see what some of the people on Twitter are saying about the issue.

Mayroon nagsasabi na itigil na ang Impeach meant ni Buaya (Thief justice of the Philippines). Ang nagsasabi nito ay maaring binayaran, kamag-anak, employeado ng Supreme Court. Ang nagsasabi na ipatigil na ang Impeachment ni Buaya… ay nasasaktan sila… Habang humahaba ang Impeachment na ito, lumalamin ang sugat na mahirap na malunasan.
You’re right Lambug1. Filipino people should open their mind regarding this issue. And we should stick to our goal and objective in prosecuting those people who betray the public trust and enjoying the tax payers money. But when someone tried to achieve the people’s goal to go after with these corrupt goverment official, then the same people who are shouting for justice before are the same people shouting now to stop prosecuting these people. THAT IS THE REASON WHY NOTHING IS ACCOMPLISHED AND BEING PROSECUTED AND SENT TO PRISON BECAUSE SOME PEOPLES HAVE A CORUPT MIND.
WHAT IS MORE PROPER… USING THE PEOPLES MONEY TO PROSECUTE CORRUPT PEOPLE OR LET THEM USE PEOPLES MONEY FOR THEIR OWN GOOD AND SACRIFICE PEOPLES WELFARE.
DON’T JUST BE FOOLED WITH THEIR DRAMA OR SELF PITTINESS AGENDA TO GET PEOPLES SYMPATHY! AFTER ALL THE EFFORT OF THE GOVERMENT… BECAUSE OF YOU “PEOPLE” WHO ARE AGAINST THE PERSECUSSION, EVERYTHING WILL BE WASTE. AT THE END , WE WILL JUST GET ONLY ” SORRY”. JUST LIKE WHAT WE GET FROM GLORIA.
THAT’S WHY WE DON’T ELLIMINATE CORRUPT PEOPLE IN THE GOVERMENT. BECAUSE SOME OF US ARE CORRUPT TOO.
sO, IF U CANNOT HELP THE GOVERMENT, JUST SUPPORT ITS GOOD AGENDA. AND STOP CRITISIZING. LET THE GOVERMENT DO THEIR JOB. AND IF THE ACCUSED ARE REALLY INOOCENT, LET THE COURT DECIDE. THEY KNOW BETTER THAN US. AND LET JUSTICE PREVAIL IN OUR LAND.
MADALI NATING SABIHIN NA ANG PAGTUUNAN NA LANG AY ANG EKONOMIYA AT ANG BUHAY NG MGA PILIPINO, MATAAS ANG PRESYO NG BILIHIN, EDUKASYON, GASOLINA, AT KULANG SA TRABAHO. PERO DI NYO BA NAISIP NA DI LANG PILIPINAS ANG DUMADANAS NG GANITO… BUONG ASYA, EUROPA AT AMERIKA. AT LAHAT NG ITO AY ISA RING DAHILAN NG PAGNANAKAW NG MGA TAONG GANID AT WALANG PAKIAALAM SA MGA MAHIHIRAP NA NINANAKAWAN NG PERA NG TAONG BAYAN. SILA ANG TUNAY NA DAHILAN NG PAGHIHIRAP NG BAYAN … ANG MGA CORRUPT NA TULAD NILA GLORIA, ARROYO AT CORONA. KUNG WALA SILANG SALA… HAYAAN NATIN NA PATUNAYAN NILA. AT MAGKUSA SILANG BUKSAN ANG MGA BANK ACCOUNT NILA AT ARIARIAN KUNG TALAGANG INOSENTE SILA, WALA SILANG DAPAT ITAGO AT IPANGAMBA.
KAYA IKAW…”PILIPINO” MAKIISA KA NA SUPORTAHAN ANG PAG TUGIS SA MGA CORRUPT AT WAG KANG MAGING HADLANG SA PAGHAHATID SA KANILA SA KULUNGAN. KUNG WALA KA DING MAITUTULONG… TUMAHIMIK KA NA LANG… YON ANG TAMA KESA SA KUMONTRA KA….
