The D Spot

Yesterday was the second day of the much awaited Impeachment Trialof Chief Justice Renato Corona.

The country waited in baited breath as the people listened to their radios and watched the TV to see what evidence the prosecution had against the Chief Justice. Since the weeks leading up to the proceedings had filed the pages of newspapers and the airtime of news programs with a number of scandalous allegations, it was time for the people to see what the fuss was about.

With eight articles of impeachment to tackle, everyone was ready to hear the testimony of the witnesses that the prosecution has been saying they have lined up. We all waited to hear something as titillating as the revelations made in the Erap impeachment trial.

One comes before two

However, things have proven to be anti climactic as the prosecution said that it was not ready to present testimony to support the first article of impeachment. Instead, it would like to go ahead and present a case on the second article of impeachment.

Huh?

Needless to say, this caught everyone by surprise. As a matter of logic, it would make sense that the first article of impeachment would be tackled first, followed by the second and so forth.

When Senator Chiz Escudero was interviewed by ANC after the proceedings, he jokingly said that everyone who knows how to count knows that one comes before two.
