Malacanang offering P100M to senator-judges?

Lawyers of Chief Justice Renato Corona revealed what they called efforts by Malacanang to pressure some senator-judges into defying a Supreme Court order restraining the impeachment court from looking into his dollar account.

In a hastily arranged press conference, nine members of the defense team condemned the Palace for allegedly undermining the impeachment process and the Constitution for purportedly trying to win senators over.


Jose Roy III, a member of the defense team, said the panel received information that the Palace was dangling "P100 million per senator" to be released this week in exchange for defying the TRO.

Corona's camp said he would confront the issue of his bank deposits once the defense gets its turn to formally present evidence later in the impeachment trial.

Budget Secretary Florencio Abad said in a text message: "The P100 million is a complete fabrication concocted by the desperate Corona defense lawyers.

"Their energies and time are better spent preparing for [today's] continuing hearings on the hidden and now exposed dollar and peso accounts of Corona in PSBank and BPI," Abad said, referring to the Chief Justice's alleged unreported deposits in the two banks.

During the press conference, Corona's lawyers were pressed to reveal their sources, but they stood their ground and said it was up to the informant to decide whether to come out.
