Archbishop under fire for wanting CJ trial stopped

MANILA, Philippines - Lipa Archbishop Ramon Arguelles has come under fire for saying that the impeachment trial of Chief Justice Renato Corona has nowhere to go and must be stopped.

In a statement, Bantay Gloria Network spokeswoman Risa Hontiveros said Arguelles' call was uncalled for especially after he criticized the impeachment trial as a waste of taxpayers' money.

“Mawalang-galang na sa butihing arsobispo pero ang paniwala namin ay hindi balakid ang paglilitis kay Corona sa paghahanap ng pamahalaan ng solusyon sa mga problemang sosyal at pang-ekonomiya ng bansa,” she said.
 
“Ang napipintong pagtanggal kay Corona ay magiging daan pa nga para makasikad ang programang pangmahirap ng ating pamahalaan dahil sa pagkawala ng isa sa piunakamalaking balakid sa pag-unlad,” she added.

Hontiveros said the impeachment trial is part of the checks and balances in government, and will strengthen democracy in the country.

Arguelles earlier accused the senator-judges of only seeking media mileage. "It's boring. Parang hindi totohanan eh, umeeksena lang ‘yung mga pulitiko eh. Gusto lang yata ma-media lang," he said.

The archbishop also believes that the Corona should be tried in a regular court and not in the Senate.

Some of the chief justice's fellow Batangueños, however, are split over calls to halt the proceedings.

“Dapat itigil na ‘yan, mag-concentrate nalang ang gobyerno sa mga problema ng mga tao,” said Francisco Cortes.

William Iliw-Iliw, on the other hand, believes the trial should continue because Filipinos deserve to know the truth.

“Dapat lang ituloy para malaman natin ang katotohanan,” he said.

Meanwhile, Batangas Representative Nelson Collantes, who is one of the 188 congressmen that signed the impeachment complaint, explained that it is important to continue the trial so that Filipinos will know if Corona is guilty or innocent.

"The wheels of justice are turning. It may be slow but it is turning," said Collantes.

Archbishop Ramon Arguelles, you are such a weird

Archbishop Ramon Arguelles wants the impeachment trial stopped. Now, is it the new doctrine of the Catholic Church to let the cheaters, the violators of the law of God and the law of the country to get off scot free?

The 7th Commandment of God is: "YOU SHALL NOT STEAL"

Archbishop Ramon Arguelles, should have advised Cheat Justice Renato Corona to open and show all his peso and dollar bank accounts if he has nothing to hide, then redeem his soul, repent and confess his sins for the Lord Jesus is faithful and just and will forgive his sins and purify him from all unrighteousness.

Ephesians 1:7 - In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace.

Acts 3:19 – Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord.

1 John 1-9 – If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.


Naive

Archbishop is so naive to believe that charges will prosper in courts that Corona head!

BETRAYAL OF PUBLIC ( MARITAL TRUST )

BETRAYAL OF PUBLIC( MARITAL TRUST)

Thief Justice Renato Corona wants to project the image that he is a loving husband to his wife, Cristina. The fact is, the Chief Justice has not only betrayed the public trust but most importantly, has betrayed his marital vow.

If the Thief Justice is man enough, He should admit the fact that he has a long-standing romantic relationship with a gentle lady named EVA with whom the Thief Justice has two (2) illegitimate sons. EVA also hails from Batangas and had her education from Assumption College just like his wife Cristina who also graduated earlier from the same school.

For Chief Justice Renato C. Corona not to mention his children with EVA as if they do not exist at all, is the highest form of ignominy and immorality that he can commit not only against his legitimate wife and family but against his oath as the highest magistrate of the land.

An inquiry into his relationship with EVA and his illegitimate children in connection with the on-going impeachment trial becomes extremely necessary in the light of the properties given by the Chief Justice to them. EVA, who has previously undergone a heart bypass operation, is known not to have worked from the time she had this romantic liaison with the Thief Justice nor does she have any known business of her own and yet, EVA is luxuriously living in the United States, together with her two (2) illegitimate children with the good Chief Justice.

The SALN of CJ Corona does not indicate any such properties.

And the reason for the frequent trips of CJ Corona to the United States, the latest of which was late last year, was to visit EVA and his children with her. That CJ Corona could afford to support the kind of luxurious lifestyle of EVA and her children in the U.S. is certainly for the Thief Justice to explain considering his small salary.

A simple investigation on the identity and circumstances of EVA can easily be done by a simple inquisition in Batangas as well as from the classmates, relatives and friends of EVA and of CJ Corona.

I know these facts because EVA is a relative of mine and it pains me immensely to see the Thief Justice professing his love for Cristina on nationwide television when he has confessed to...show more show less


salapi ang panginoon ni padre damaso

bago magsalita si padre damaso, dapat hubarin muna niya ang sotana. ang tingin ko ay walang galang si padre damaso sa kanyang tungkulin. bale-wala ang mga sinasabi ng isang tao na namamanginoon sa salapi.

With respect to the

With respect to the Archbishop, I hope he conducts his own "impeachment trial" of priests who have committed abuses.


aquino is god?

Mukhang panginoon na ang tingin ng yellow army sa mga aquino, patawarin sana kayo sa mga ginagawa niyo. Para bang lahat ng ginagawa ni aquino ay tama lahat, kahit labag sa batas sa lupa at sa langit basta si aquino ang nagsasalita para sa kanila tama, nagiging kulto na yata itong yellow army. tsk tsk tsk.
