Lopsided voting, stronger judiciary

Last Tuesday the Senate made history when it finally convicted Chief Justice Renato C. Corona and found him guilty of the impeachment complaint filed against him in the Impeachment Court after 44 days of hearing.
With 20 senators-judges voting for conviction against the three votes for acquittal, the vote last Tuesday was unexpectedly lopsided. Most of the senators found the chief justice guilty for not disclosing his total and complete assets in his Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth as required by law and the constitution.
I think what did Corona in was that he underdeclared in his SALN that his total assets were P3.5 million. He didn’t disclose his dollar accounts believing they were exempt from public disclosure under the foreign currency secrecy law. But by his own admission, he has dollar accounts worth about $3.4 million and P80 million in his peso accounts. His justification for not disclosing his P80 million peso account was that it was a commingled account with Basa-Quidote Enterprises and his daughter Carla.
The senator-judges emphasized that the Supreme Court dismissed a lowly court employee for failure to disclose a market stall in her SALN so if the SC was very strict with her, how much for a learned chief justice.
