CJ was voted guilty with a 20/3 votes

I am pretty sure jails in the country will not be enough to house convicts if an honest-to-goodness appraisal of government officials is conducted. But who'll do the accusing which entails time, money and effort.

Yeah, it costs so much to impeach anyone.. If we can impeach all the bad and corrupt officials, maybe our funds all would all be drained. I hpe there is another way to get rid of them.

But then God gave us free will and he will only intervene unless everything has gotten out of control.. i hope he intervene now though.. since there are lots of people in poverty.

You've hit the nail right on the head. To add another hammer blow to the nail, I suggest publication in the web of SAL-N of all public officials for all to scrutinize, obviously to prune graft and corruption in government.

Ouch!!! Well, it's okay for me he he.

Well. ARIES1973, come to think of it. We suggest so many things here constructive for the good of the government. Are we not barking at the wrong tree? Is there a way by which our suggestions reach the ears of powers-that-be? Do our voices echo back to us because nobody listens to them? What is your comment?

Yes, we should all hope for the best. With the high cost of the impeachment, it would be a waste of time and money if nothing good happens as a result.

It's our right to speak our mind. Just think of the advantages brought in by the results of the impeachment trial.

I can't think of what the advantages would be because it was a witch hunt to begin with. Aquino doesn't like Arroyo, so he's been going after their family, and CJ helped Arroyo, so Aquino is also trying to go after him. Even before the trial started the president threatened everyone that didn't vote CJ out. They were against him the whole trial. It wasn't exactly a fair one. They basically said he was guilty before the trial even started. It was just a show for the people to make them think democracy was in action. Aquino is running a dictatorship. And then the judge says the supreme court can't over rule them. Yes. The supreme court can over rule them. But it seems the laws don't apply to Aquino. I always heard that the Aquino family were heroes and Marcos was a horrible dictator. But now I wonder if it was really just 2 dictator families fighting for power. I know Phils want to fight corruption, but you can't fight corruption with corruption.

For the sake of discussion, redhot..., If you were holding the reign of government and would like to render good for the welfare of the great majority, would you just smile at someone who is blocking your every move?

Yes- the fate that CJ Corona has suffered will deter commission of similar crimes. But man easily forgets. So to remind officials of Corona's waterloo, every provincial capital should have a billboard in bold letters- REMEMBER CORONA!

The law must be equal; it must have the same interpretation for all: rich, poor, learned, ignorant, lowly, mighty, etc. Let's hope corrupt officials get their share of the ax, but not all will go under the same process of impeachment.
