Exciting times ahead. It will be quite entertaining watching so-called 'journalists' being grilled on the witness stand on national television. It's been revealed recently that "investigative journalist" Raissa Robles and "online journalist" Maritess Vitug wil be subpoenaed to testify for the prosecution in the impeachment trial of Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato Corona. What is amusing is how the inclusion of these two "journalists" actually reveal even more how desperate the prosecution is. After all, what do Robles and Vitug bring to the table? As far as I know, nothing but sketchy circumstantial evidence ... Going further down the depth of the barrel, we found veteran “investigative reporter” Raissa Robles and “online journalist” Maritess Vitug scraping its bottom with their “reports” about the sketchy improprieties of Corona’s wife Mrs Cristina Corona and the “outrage” of the University of Santo Tomas (UST) awarding Mr Corona academic ...

Suddenly the notion of rule of law detestable. Reporter Raissa Robles quotes it in all caps and in bold all over a recent article and says that she "grimaces" whenever she now comes across that term. Not coincidentally, the notion of rule of law lately hasn't really been working in favour of the lynch mob to which Robles belongs to. What they are doing now is plain demagoguery. Former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo is right at least on this one. People may say "demagoguery daw " with sarcasm (the way juveniles do at a schoolyard). But that's exactly what it is. For lack of a solid foundation to build a sound argument upon it has now become a circus of stirring up emotional fanaticism and clouding logic using persuasion devices not too different from the sort used by cult leaders on their ignorant flock. The Crusades along with its close cousin The Inquisition as well as various crimes against humanity perpetrated in the name of various gods over our h...

Raissa Robles wrote (in value-crushing detail) about a loophole exploited in a certain Department Circular No. 41 issued by Justice Secretary Alberto Agra in 2010 under the Government of then President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo (GMA). This circular is what the current Justice Secretary Leila De Lima then used to slap the travel ban on now former President and Congressman Arroyo. Because of this, DC 41 said, these Supreme Court circulars left a gap because they were “silent with respect to cases falling within the jurisdiction of courts below the RTC as well as those pending determination by government prosecution offices.” It is the last clause, which I posted in red, which De Lima is using to bar the Arroyo couple from traveling – because they have five complaints filed against them “pending determination by government prosecution offices.” So check out the bunch of commentors over there at that blog exchanging high fives over what they perceive to be the irony of a GMA-era circular no...
