    Misplaced compassion

    By Tita C. Valderama  |  Feb 15, 2021 1:45 PM

    The Supreme Court’s unanimous decision granting the full retirement benefits of the late chief justice Renato Corona, despite his impeachment in 2012, is quite unsettling.

    Philippine Judiciary: The dawning of a new era?

    Jun 08, 2012 1:36 AM

    By CAROLYN MERCADO and STEVEN ROOD
    THE Philippine Judiciary is on edge. Five months of rigorous scrutiny by the public and media as a result of the trial of impeached Chief Justice Renato Corona created a high degree of expectation that major reforms are forthcoming. Ensuring that Corona’s conviction and the appointment of a new chief justice will lead to a lasting improvement of the country’s judicial system is putting tremendous pressure on the high court.

    Corona conviction puts High Court, JBC in uncharted waters

    Jun 05, 2012 1:05 PM

    By LALA ORDENES

    THE conviction of Renato Corona, the first time in the country’s history a chief justice is removed from office by impeachment, has thrown the Supreme Court and even the Judicial and Bar Council into uncharted waters, forcing the High Tribunal to contradict itself and act against its own pronouncements.
