I Agree With Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago

miriam defensor-santiago

After hearing the votes and reasons of the Senator-Judges in the impeachment trial of Chief Justice Renato Corona, it was Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago's explanation that made sense to me the most.

There is really a need to amend our Foreign Currency Deposit Act first to exclude government officials before we can file complaints about it. There is a loophole in this law that needs to be corrected by our Congress (House of Representative and Senate).

So I agree with her. Technically, incorrect declaration of SALN is not impeachable. I also agree with her that interpretation of the law is not for everyone. Let’s leave it to the lawyers.
