During my active years in trial, I have a client who issued as payment for his rental a check without funds. The apartment owner was the late Chief Justice Felix Makasiar. My client left the premises and would like to redeem his check by paying cash. The late chief justice would want that aside from the…
CJ Renato Corona remains confident, at times, combative, despite seemingly overwhelming evidence about his character not befitting that of the jurist of the Supreme Court. The reason — he and his lawyers are Marxists, who believe in their own lies! “A lie told often enough becomes the truth.” Lenin. CJ Corona has no moral and…
The Lord always works in some mysterious ways. Who would ever think that a very innocuous corporation set up in 1961 as Basa-Guidote Enterprises, Inc., (BGEI) one owner of which, now a 90 year old nun, would come to haunt the Chief Justice in 2012?

Either way, this would not prevent me from kibitzing in this historic trial of Chief Justice Renato Corona for betraying a public trust, among others. I watched the trial on TV and video copied the…
On April 15, 1970, Congressman Gerald Ford (R-Mich) rose to demand an investigation of Associate Justice William O. Douglas on four specific charges: 1. Douglas had sold an article to Fact magazine and had received payment for it when the publisher, Ralph Ginzburg, was involved in litigation in federal courts which ultimately reached the Supreme Court. …
A week before the impeachment trial of CJ Renato Corona, I emailed Congressman Neil Tupas, Jr., through his House website. My email could have been routed to his “spam” folder because I have not received any response; or simply, the team thought that they have every base already covered hence an outside help is not needed. But…
Nothing much can be achieved in the impeachment of CJ Corona even if successful in the Senate except to sear in the public memory that a radical change in the leadership of the Supreme Court, touted before as the “untouchable” branch of the government is but a myth. But surely, it will not alter the present dynamics…
