Aquino’s impeachable crime is worse than the corruption Estrada was impeached for. Estrada would have been impeached for extorting money from a jueteng lord, a corrupt governor, and the unscrupulous owners of Belle Resources Corp. Aquino’s crime is that he undermined the basic foundations of our republican, democratic system by attacking the Supreme Court that represents the independent judicial branch of government. He committed bribery by offering the Senator-Judges the quick release of their pork barrel funds as well as an additional P100 million in such discretionary funds disguised as allocations out of the Disbursement Acceleration Fund. By doing so he is also guilty of graft and corruption since the Anti Graft and Corrupt Practices Act deems guilty not only the recipient of bribe money guilty, but the briber—Aquino.
