Tomorrow, Tuesday. 6 March 2012, the Senate will be at a
crossroads. Before it is the choice of whether it will vote for the truth, and
declare the admissibility of bank documents, or whether it will strike a blow
against transparency and accountability.
There are those who believe that their campaign to sidetrack
the impeachment against Chief Justice Renato Corona, by subjecting the
proceedings to a blizzard of technicalities and objections, will succeed. “The
daily distractions provided by CJ Corona defenders aim to obfuscate the truth.
More importance should be placed on what was uncovered, not on how it was
discovered. What is clear is that CJ Corona did not submit a truthful SALN, the
evidence proves that,” says BnW Executive Director Leah Navarro.
The Black and White Movement express our faith and
confidence in the Senate as a body fully aware of its heavy duty of proving
that impeachment will work not only as an instrument of accountability, but as
a credible deterrent to wrongdoing by high officials, as well. - END
