HOUSE impeachment prosecutors are confident of getting a conviction come Tuesday from senator-judges after Chief Justice Renato Corona failed to present documentary evidence to support his oral testimony.
\n\u201cThere has been no degree of demolition. In fact, it (Corona\u2019s testimony) has only strengthened our case,\u201d House Deputy Majority Leader Miro Quimbo, a spokesperson for the prosecution team, said in a press conference.
\n \u201cThe prosecution believes that the testimony of the Chief is essentially inadmissible in evidence, and even if the testimony is admitted, it has very little evidentiary value, if any,\u201d lead private prosecutor Mario Bautista earlier told the impeachment tribunal.
\nCorona faced the impeachment tribunal on Tuesday, May 22, and delivered a three-hour narrative testimony before he excused himself from the court after supposedly suffering from hypoglycemia.
\nHe returned on Friday, May 25, to answer clarificatory questions from senator-judges after both the defense and prosecution panels chose not to conduct the direct and cross examinations.
\nIn answering clarificatory questions, Corona admitted before the court that he has $2.4 million and P80 million in dollar and peso accounts.
\nThe chief magistrate cited a provision in the Foreign Currency Deposit Act which guarantees absolute confidentiality on deposits as his excuse for not declaring the $2.4 million in his statements of assets, liabilities and net worth (SALN). He also said the P80-million funds in his peso accounts were commingled; therefore, not necessary to be declared in his SALNs.
\nHe is accused of betrayal of public trust and culpable violation of the Constitution for failing to truthfully filing his SALNs since he became a member of the Supreme Court in 2002.
\nSpokespersons for the prosecution said Corona could have easily showed documents that would prove his \u201chearsay\u201d and \u201cself-serving\u201d statements.
\n\u201cHe did not even show a single deposit or trust agreement,\u201d Quimbo noted.
\nAurora Representative Sonny Angara, another prosecution spokesperson, doubted that Corona\u2019s testimony would be easily bought by the senator-judges.
\n\u201cWe have presented the AMLC (Anti-Money Laundering Council) report, the Ombudsman, SALNs, bank records, etc.,\u201d Angara said.
\nReferring to the AMLC report, Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales earlier said that Corona has 82 dollar accounts, deposits of which amount to at least $10 million.
\nSpokesperson and House Deputy Speaker Erin Tanada added that there was no excuse for the Chief Justice not to declare his peso accounts even if funds were commingled. Corona claimed that almost half of the P80-million funds were of his wife\u2019s family corporation, the Basa Guidote Enterprises Inc.
\n\u201cWhat\u2019s wrong with declaring commingled funds? There\u2019s no excuse for that,\u201d Tanada said.
\nThe Senate impeachment tribunal will hand down its verdict at the earliest on Monday after the oral arguments of the defense and prosecution panels.
