“Yung (Supreme Court) chief justice, na-impeach. Nagpakulong ng tatlong nakaupong senador, ng kanyang predecessor. Wala namang nagsabing papunta tayo sa diktadurya noon. Dito, binabantaan ng impeachment ang Ombusman.” Sen. Chiz Escudero said, who is now in his second term and is not anymore eligible to run for reelection, at least in 2019.
“May impeachment process ngayon sa House, ang laban ngayon sa chief justice. May isang senador na na napakulong. Halos, kung titingnan nyo, parallel, pareho at parang kinokopya yung nangyari sa ating kasaysayan.” The husband of actress Heart Evangelist added. He was referring to CJ Maria Lourdes Sereno and Senator Leila de Lima.
As we all know, the late Chief Justice Renato Corona on December 12, 2011. In 2014, then-senators Juan Ponce Enrile, Ramon “Bong” Revilla Jr. and Jinggoy Estrada were arrested and detained for plunder and graft charges related to pork barrel scam. Nevertheless, the Supreme Court allowed Enrile and Estrada to post bail in August 2015 and September 2017, respectively.
On the other hand, Sen. De Lima was arrested last February for her alleged involvement in the proliferation of illegal drugs inside the New Bilibid Prison (NBP). A staunch critic of President Duterte, the Liberal Party (LP) senator was accused of orchestrating a drug-trafficking ring when she was justice secretary during the Noynoy Aquino administration.
Meanwhile, Sen. Escudero also said that President Duterte does not have enough support from the military to establish a revolutionary government, and that it is not allowed under the 1987 Constitution. This was his response to earlier warning of the president that he would declare a revolutionary government if his critics will attempt to destabilize the government.
