Here's Impeached Chief Justice Renato Corona Official Statement:
"Lubos kong ikinalulungkot ang naging pasiya ng Senate Impeachment Court. Bilang Punong Mahistrado, buong tapang at talino kong hinarap ang hamon ng impeachment at sumailalim ako sa proseso na alinsunod sa Saligang Batas, umaasang makakamit ang hustisyang aking hinanap ng mahigit limang buwan.
Hindi kaila sa akin na gagamitin ng Pangulo ang buong puwersa ng gobyerno, kasama na ang mga ahensiyang dapat sana ay malayang nagpapasiya - ang Kamara, ang BIR, ang LRA, ang AMLC, ang Ombudsman, at iba pa.
Hindi rin kaila sa akin na gagamit ng kabang-yaman para sa mapanira at mapang-aping media campaign, sa radyo, telebisyon at dyaryo, laban sa akin at sa aking pamilya. Lahat po ito ay tinanggap ko, alang-alang sa kasarinlan ng Hudikatura, upang maitaguyod ang kalayaang magpasiya ng mga hukuman, na isang napakahalagang sangkap ng ating demokrasya.

Summer Blast in San Juan, Batangas
Actually it’s not my first time to go to this beautiful shore of San Juan in Batangas. It’s my second! Wala namang masyadong pagbabago sa lugar except for the new resorts and cottages na nagsulputan sa lugar.
The sand may not as white as boracay sands but hindi naman siya mabato kaya pwede na! oks na! :)
What I observed in this place is that resort owners don’t have lifeguards. I might be wrong ha, pero kung merong lifeguards nasan sila? hindi sila visible. ( tulog ata. puyat! ) haha.
The water is salty ( malamang! :D ) but not itchy to skin. Kaya sarap mag-swimming! :)
SM's Henry Sy to Purchase Globe Telecom?
Who says only Manny V. Pangilinan aka MVP has the right to buy big companies in the Philippines? Who?! Well, whoever said that he/she should read this post! Because rumor has it that SM Mogul Henry Sy is eyeing Globe Telecom to be his new company. Yap! There is rumor that he wants to buy the Globe which is currently owned by the Ayalas and SingTel. But as I've said, it is a rumor. So take it with a grain of salt.
Rumor: SM’s Henry Sy buying Globe Telecom?
We got this really surprising tip from a source that rumor is going around that billionaire tycoon Henry Sy is looking to buy controlling shares of Globe Telecom.
Henry Sy has interestes in a lot of markets — retail, real estate, banking, leisure, etc. This rumored interest in the telecoms industry could have been sparked by the recent acquisition of Digitel by PLDT, putting the competition between Smart and Globe in a spotlight.
Earlier, Globe has secured a $90 million loan from China Banking Corp. to spend for the expansion of its 4G network in the Philippines. China Bank is also owned by Henry Sy.
Globe has a market capitalization of around Php142 billion and recently achieved a 1st quarter revenue of Php20.2 billion (Q1, 2012). The company is partly owned by the Ayalas with 32% share while Singaporean telecom, Singtel, owns 47%.
Henry Sy is the Philippine’s richest guy (#173 in the world) with an estimated worth of $8 billion or Php344 billion. That’s more than enough money to buy controlling shares of Globe.

New video shows Claudine Barretto's camp first hurt Mon Tulfo
MANILA, Philippines - Close to three weeks after the melee between Ramon Tulfo and the group of Raymart Santiago and Claudine Barretto, TV5 got hold of a copy of a video purportedly showing that it was the latter who first hurt the columnist and TV5 host.
The video shows a man in a pink shirt who was talking to Tulfo. The man was beside a woman in pink tops and white shorts, attire that is similar to what Barretto was wearing during the May 6 incident at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Pasay City.
The man in pink shirt was seen on the video hitting Tulfo in the head with his left hand.
The scene reportedly took place before the melee.
Tulfo had said he was simply trying to pacify Barretto, Santiago's wife, who was allegedly verbally abusing a ground crew over her offloaded luggage, when Santiago turned on him.
Tulfo said he had arrived from Davao onboard a Cebu Pacific flight when he chanced upon Barretto scolding the ground crew of Cebu Pacific.
Tulfo said he was taking pictures of Barretto while also trying to pacify her when Santiago came up to him and allegedly tried to get his cellphone. He refused, and he said that was when all the trouble started.
The Santiagos have kept saying the amateur video earlier uploaded on youtube [ watch here ], showing their group ganging up on Tulfo, told only the second half of the story, because, they claimed, before this happened, it was Tulfo who first hit them, prompting the group to retaliate.
