In This Crisis, We Stand Together
Just sharing this speech… In This Crisis, We Stand Together* by HON. JOSE MIDAS P. MARQUEZ Court Administrator and Spokesperson Supreme Court As you all know by now, our Chief Justice Renato C. Corona has been impeached in blitzkrieg fashion, in an unprecedented, lightning-like, coming together of 188 members of the House of Representatives. This astonishing, astounding feat has never been seen in response to urgent legislation long pending and gathering dust in the halls of our revered Congress.

The cases against the masterminds and suspects are not yet moving. Yes, some of them were in jail now, but no one has been convicted yet. No justice is served.
