Dramatic Tuesday
So, after my dramatic walk out yesterday morning, quitting from potential work on account of uncooperative people who tells me that they are busy to accommodate my simple request, which, by the way, is for the benefit of our common benefactor, rain poured wonderfully all day.
Yesterday afternoon, on the impeachment trial of the Chief Justice of the Philippine's Supreme Court, Chief Justice Renato Corona walked out of the Impeachment Court (the Philippine Senate sitting as judges of the court) after his almost three-hour speech. He was asked to appear in the impeachment court as a witness, but instead of being subjected to questions by the prosecution lawyers or the Senator-Judges, he went on a three-hour speech, supposedly addressed to the Filipino people.
Presiding Judge, Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile obviously was not aware that the speech would last that long, thus he kept on interrupting asking the Chief Justice if it would still take him long to finish his rhetoric. Totally wasting the people's money with rebuttals banking on emotion and name calling. Everyone was expecting him to answer the testimony of Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales who accused him of keeping millions of dollars in several dollar accounts. He did, but its quite suspicious because his actions reveal that he is hiding something.
His claims were not backed by evidence as he refuses to have his accounts scrutinized by the Impeachment Court, instead challenging the court to waive their right to secrecy over their accounts. And then he went into all this drama of signing a waiver form over his accounts, but on the condition that the Senator-Judges do the same, and then walked out on the Impeachment Court, proclaiming that he is the Chief Justice.
This enraged the Senate President and ordered Senate security to lock all the doors of the Senate so that no one could leave, including the Chief Justice, then threatened the lawyers of the Chief Justice to have the latter return or they take off the CJ's speech from the records and decide on his case based on the information that they have.
The Defense was on a frenzy and the Chief Justice went on a drama, saying that his blood sugar levels went down, the reason why he had to leave without showing respect to the Impeachment Court. Good thing he has a doctor for a son-in-law. Now if the Impeachment Court would believe the self-serving assessment of the doctor son-in-law of the Chief Justice, who was the only doctor who checked on him, then they are fools.
The Chief Justice is supposed to be God-fearing, brandishing his affiliation with the Filipino church Iglesia ni Kristo (Church of Christ). I have a few INC friends and they are honest people, but the Chief Justice, well, let's just say that nobody is perfect and regardless of one's religious affiliation, are still prone to lying, corruption, and greed.

Doctors in the Philippines, especially those from high end hospitals, are liars and they would easily give false diagnosis or recommendations of hospital rest or something for their clients to help them escape from being prosecuted or from serving their sentence.
CJ Corona was confined in Medical City after his appearance in the Impeachment Court. And for the record, former President and now Congressman Gloria Arroyo was confined in St. Lukes Medical Center when she was being made to answer for her sins to the Filipino people.
Sad, ain't it? For doctors and such esteemed institutions to allow themselves to be used by greedy criminals, it's a shame really, considering the many common people who are the real victims here.
Such doctors should be made liable for malpractice and as accomplices.
***
Today, his doctors said that he needs to rest for 48 hours. I rest my case.

So, just as we were rained with CJ Corona's alleged lies and drama yesterday, rain also poured beautifully all day, and I swear there was a fog late yesterday morning. Not smog, fog. I just love rain, don't you?

For dinner, I had stir fried cabbage and tofu in oyster mushroom sauce and banana and singkamas for dessert.
