Senator: Corona impeachment strengthens justice system
CITY OF SAN FERNANDO — Senator Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel III said Friday that the ongoing impeachment of Chief Justice Renato Corona serves to strengthen the democratic system and then justice could be served even if it concerns the highest magistrate of the country.
Pimentel made this statement during the press conference for Pampanga media at the Cefe Rustico here, after the oath taking of the new provincial members of the Partido Demokratiko Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan (PDP-Laban).
“The impeachment only shows that we can exercise to the fullest our democratic system. In a way, we are strengthening our democratic institutions by ensuring that the impeachment goes well. Whether the Chief Justice is acquitted or not, the whole exercise is not a waste of time since it is a proof that we can exercise our democratic process to the fullest,” Pimentel said.
Pimentel said, however, that he is a bit worried about the pace of the proceedings, adding that like most of the people watching the impeachment, he has found it to be proceeding slowly.
Asked how important the appearance of Corona is in the impeachment trial, Pimentel said it would not matter if the Chief Justice would take the witness stand.
“As a senator-judge, I cannot comment on that, but as a lawyer, I would advice lawyers in the trial that the strength of a case does not depend on how often a lawyer would make objections but on the strength and quality of witnesses presented along with evidences,” he said.
Pimentel said he hopes for the resolution of the impeachment trial when Congress resumes after a one month break.
Earlier, aware of criticisms that the trial has been dragging on for months, Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile assured that he and his fellow judges can render a decision on or before the close of the second regular session of the 15th Congress on June 7.
Both the Senate and House of Representatives will not hold sessions from March 24 to May 6. As a result, the impeachment court will only be convened on May 7. Asked if he can resume proceedings earlier than scheduled, Enrile said this matter should be agreed by congressmen and senators.
