Senator
Miriam Defensor Santiago defended Pres. Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III amid Sen. Ramon
“Bong” Revilla Jr.’s accusation that the president influenced the senator
judges to impeach former Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato Corona.
Santiago
said in an interview that even the president influenced the senators during the
impeachment, it still cannot be considered as crime.
The
lady senator stressed that Aquino’s influence is considered as ‘legal and
political in nature’ since he is a nominal leader of his political party.
However,
she admitted that it is clearly another issue when a chief executive influenced
the senator judges through bribery.
Yesterday,
Revilla exposed in his privilege speech in Senate the alleged Aquino’s
influence on their part as senator-judges during the Corona trial but they weren’t
bribed.
Pnoy
confirmed Revilla’s statement but insisted it was due to intelligence reports
on alleged pressure on the senators.
Aquino
named the senator-judges whom he met as Senators Jinggoy Estrada, Ralph Recto and
Teofisto Guingona.
Who do you think is
telling the truth? Senator Bong Revilla or President Noynoy Aquino?
