Defense to present 2 witnesses in Corona trial Monday

LAWYERS of Chief Justice Renato Corona are set to present in Monday’s impeachment trial Navotas Representative Tobias Tiangco and House Secretary General Marilyn Barua-Yap.
Defense spokesman Ramon Esguerra said Tiangco and Yap will prove that the impeachment complaint, signed by 188 members of the House of Representatives, lack probable cause and the required verification when it was transmitted to the Senate, which sat as an impeachment court.
Tiangco’s testimony will focus on the manner by which the 188 congressmen allegedly “railroaded” the hasty resolution to transmit the eight articles of impeachment to the Senate.
Tiangco left the majority bloc after he did not sign the complaint, along with other House members, including Deputy Speaker and Cavite Representative Jesus Crispin Remulla and Batangas Representative Hermilando Mandanas.
Afterwards, Tiangco delivered a privilege speech saying that while he supports the campaign of President Benigno Aquino III to make his predecessor, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, accountable for her sins, “in pursuing justice, it must be done in a manner that does not destroy our institutions and more importantly the co-equal status guaranteed by the Constitution.”
He also said the railroading of Corona’s impeachment showed that the leadership could no longer protect the integrity and independence of the chamber.
Barua-Yap, on the other hand, will testify on what transpired on the day the House voted to impeach Corona.
Earlier, Corona’s defense team said the Chief Justice’s wife, Cristina, will testify during the presentation of evidence, particularly on the supposed P37-million deposits of the Basa-Guidote Enterprises Inc. (BGEI) in their bank account at the Philippine Savings Bank.
Corona’s camp said the P11 million that appeared in the Chief Justice’s 2003 statement of assets, liabilities and net worth (SALN) was a loan from BGEI, a company owned by Cristina’s family.
PSBank president Pascual Garcia III, on cross examination by defense lead counsel Serafin Cuevas, earlier testified that the Coronas withdrawn their account from the bank’s Katipunan branch on December 12, 2011, the same day that the House impeached Corona.
Another defense counsel Tranquil Salvador III, meanwhile, said there is a strong possibility that Corona will personally testify in his own defense, a fact that the chief magistrate acknowledged in one of his media interviews last week.
But Salvador said there are risks involved in the magistrate personally testifying in the trial, such as being harassed or provoked by prosecution lawyers or some senator-judges.
The Supreme Court chief earlier said in a radio interview that he is open to testifying, but it will all depend on the advice of his lawyers.
