Survey: 63% of Pinoys believe Corona has hidden wealth
MANILA (3rd Update, 4:45 p.m.) — Chief Justice Renato Corona brushed aside the results of a survey showing six in 10 Filipinos believe he has hidden wealth based on the undeclared money and assets in his statement of assets, liabilities and net worth (SALN).
The survey, conducted by the Social Weather Stations (SWS) from March 10 to 13, gathered 1,200 adults from Metro Manila, the balance of Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao.
“What more have they not invented versus me? Let’s just laugh it off. Nothing we can do about it. Part of the psywar, I guess,” he said in a text message.
Many of those who think Corona has hidden wealth come from Manila (77 percent), followed by the Balance of Luzon (63 percent), Mindanao (61 percent), and Visayas (55 percent).
The highest percentage points of those who agree that the Chief Justice has hidden wealth are college graduates.
House prosecutors believe that their strongest case against Corona was his alleged failure to truthfully declare his SALN since his appointment to High Court in April 2002.
Meanwhile, Senator-judges Aquilino Pimentel III and Sergio OsmeƱa III reiterated that the survey, will not, in any way, affect their judgment on the case.
“Senator-judges will not be swayed by surveys. We will decide on this through evidence presented during the trial,” Pimentel said in a text message to Sun.Star.
The survey also found out that 58 percent of the respondents think Corona intended to help former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and her husband, Jose Miguel, to flee the country to elude charges such as graft and electoral sabotage.
Corona has been accused of displaying partiality toward the former President when he led the Supreme Court last November to allow her to seek medical treatment abroad despite being placed under a government watch list for alleged crimes.
Fifty-seven percent of the respondents, meanwhile, say Corona accepted favor like discounts in the condominium and plane tickets, while 46 percent believe if the Senate does not convict Corona, then people power should be used to force him to step down.
Corona was impeached by 188 members of the House of Representatives in December 12 last year as the senator-judges will determine if there are enough grounds to impeach him.
At least 16 votes are needed to remove Corona from his post in just one of the three articles of impeachment.
