A pity: After the Supreme Court allowed live (albeit limited) coverage of the promulgation of the Sandiganbayan rulings on the Estrada plunder and perjury cases, Estrada’s lawyers moved to dispense with the reading of the decisions in their entirety. Only the dispositive portions were read.
Live coverage would have been, like the impeachment trial itself, a civic education. But it would also have laid the case, as seen by the three Sandiganbayan justices, for Estrada’s conviction.
By making that motion, Estrada’s lawyers served only to further politicize an already politicized legal process.

Precedent!!!
They exploit Erap’s popularity to become president so they can assume power by removing him with all means. This time they cannot use Erap’s conviction as the first highest official to be incarcerated or by death penalty (abolished) because they are all thieves and liars in the face of all Pilipino people.
If you are 30 years old now or younger, you maybe fortunate to see our country free from corruption.
