Ironically, one of the medals President Benigno Simeon “BS” Aquino III pinned on himself is after having purportedly achieved just that — by “impeaching” former Chief Justice Renato Corona who at the time was sitting as the country’s top magistrate. The only trouble with that dubious “achievement” is that Corona was not really tried in the real sense as his judges were all “senator-judges”. The “court” was not really a criminal court but one where verdicts are determined on the basis of their popularity rather than modern criminal science. And the “complaint” lodged against Corona was one House Representatives were coerced into signing by no less than the President himself. And, lo and behold, even in that Corona circus, all roads lead back to, you guessed it, the pork barrel. It is easy to see now that Corona’s trial before this Senate “impeachment court” was itself tainted by pork — it was a judgment body on BS Aquino’s pork payroll all the while!
