The D Spot

The much anticipatedImpeachment Trial of Chief Justice Corona began last January 16. The country waited avidly to see the proof, hear the various testimonies against the Chief Justice and to see our democratic process at work.

Everyone wanted to hear about the 40 plus propertiesincluding a penthouse suite. Everyone wanted to see just how far the political love affair between Corona and the former president extended. A part of the people wanted to see the Chief Magistrate go down in flames. Everyone wanted to see the no wangwang at work and finally see how the current administration is cleaning house, starting with the third branch of government.

Better than Valium

There has been much build up to the weeks leading to the trial, so to actually see things unfold oh so slowly on television is a little anti climactic. Sometimes, watching the proceedings was better than taking Valium.

That’s how slow and how boring it can get. It seemed like to spice things up, the prosecutors and defense teamwould facetiously and excessively call each other and refer to the members of the Senate “your Honor,” although honor has long been thrown out of the halls of Senate, what with some of the clowns that pass for lawmakers nowadays. There’s even that ridiculous show of Mano Po displayed by prosecution lawyer Mario Bautista kissing the hand of retired Supreme Court Associate Justice Serafin Cuevas. Way to get your picture on the papers!
