Chief Justice Renato Corona said in one of his speeches before his subordinates in the high court that he is not the Supreme Court; that's because the high court decides cases as a group (en banc). Then lately he said that he is a stumbling block to those who do not want the Hacienda Luisita distributed to the farmers. He is saying now that he is the Supreme Court. [Only the Supreme Court deciding banc can be that stumbling block.]

Head of the CJ Corona defense team, Serafin Cuevas, admitted in Philippine Daily Inquirer that “If only they (senator-judges) let the prosecution ask questions, those documents (SALNs) would not have been disclosed." This is tantamount to an admission that the Corona defense refused to hand to the Impeachment Court that SALNs, and had to be forced by the Court to make that happen. So much the truthful in lawyering.
