RESULTA NG IMPEACHMENT DAPAT IGALANG -- ALAM

NANAWAGAN kahapon si Alab ng Mamamahayag (ALAM) Chairman Jerry Yap sa mga mamamayan na respetuhin ang resulta ng impeachment sa Senado.

Ani Yap, hindi natin dapat aksayahin ang ating oras upang ikampanya ang plastic na good governance .

Aniya, nakita na kung paano pinatunayang nagkasala si Chief Justice Renato Corona gamit ang mga Constitutional standards upang patalsikin ang isang opisyal na impeachable.

Nasaksihan rin umano ng madla ang Constitutional processes upang mapatunayan ang malalaking krimen.

Ngayon umano ay dapat na lamang nating suportahan ang desisyon ng Senado upang maiangat ang sobreyedad ng demokrasya sa bansa.

Iginiit pa ni Yap na ngayong tapos na ang impeachment, dapat umanong pagtuunan naman ng pansin ng gobyerno ang iba pang mga problema ng bansa tulad ng paglaganap ng droga at media killings na hindi pa nareresolba.

Paalala naman ni ALAM President Berteni Causing, sana ay maging aral sa lahat ng mga opisyal ng gobyerno ang naging desisyon ng impeachment court kay Corona.

Ngayon umano ay pwede nang patalsikin ang kahit sinong impeachable official kung hindi sila magdedeklara ng tamang statement of assets, liabilities and networth (SALN). – NENET L. VILLAFANIA

Diliman Diary Blog 05/30/2012: Corona no more, but what now?

Spending over 40 days for a politically-driven impeachment proceeding was a great political exercise but as Sen. Recto said, albeit indirectly, in his speech, there are bigger problems that the current administration has to face.   

Now that the Chief Justice has been given the guilty verdict, many people are wondering what will happen next not only to CJ Corona but to the whole country. A taho vendor in Diliman who watched the proceedings this afternoon in one of the TVs near a carinderia in the area said, “Hindi naman maapektuhan ang buhay ko niyan, puro naman sila pulitika.” The verdict is considered by many members of the intelligentsia as a victory while others can’t help but ask whether the Filipino people should ask for every government official to submit their SALNs.

A student from UP Diliman’s NCPAG said, “Ang lilinis nilang magsalita parang wala naman silang hidden assets. It’s not that I am for Corona pero ang malupit e parang they are casting stones as if wala silang ginawa ring masama at one point. Their speeches were quite disturbing except for the three who voted for Corona’s acquittal”.

Whatever the opinion of the general population, the question remains, will there be another show in this political carnival?
