A Masterful Deceit: How to Destroy the Philippines' Democratic Institutions


NOV 22 2011 The Supreme Court orders the distribution of 4,915.7466 hectares of Hacienda Luisita, the sugar estate owned by the relatives of President Benigno Aquino III. The case had slept for 5 years in the SC. But only after 18 months after Corona assumed office, Luisita was no more.

NOV 24 2011 The Cojuangco clan meets in Makati to discuss their loss. They complain to the President that they've managed to keep the Hacienda through several administrations only to lose it during the term of one of their own.

DEC 1 2011 In a speech before the Makati Business Club, the President accuses the Supreme Court of being confusing and partisan.

DEC 5 2011 The President criticized Chief Justice Renato Corona and the entire Supreme Court in front of other justices, lawmakers and other stakeholders in the criminal justice system during the first National Criminal Justice Summit. He accuses the SC of being a stumbling block to his plans and renews his tirade against Corona's appointment.

DEC 5 2011 During the Liberal Party Fellowship and Christmas Party, the President instructs his partymates to fast track the long pending impeachment of Associate Justice Mariano del Castillo. It had been on the shelf for the past year but all it took was a word and a "promise" from the President.

DEC 7 2011 As ordered from the top, the House of Representatives’ committee on justice voted to declare the complaint against Justice del Castillo sufficient in substance. From last year's 11-10 vote on sufficiency in form, the President's men pulled through this time with a 40-7 vote.

DEC 10 2011 Pnoy meets leaders of groups allied wth the majority in the Palace and orders them to proceed with drafting the articles of impeachment against Chief Justice Corona. It will have the signature of at least one-third of the legislators and will immediately be transmitted to the Senate

Dec 11 2011 His allies meets in the house of Rep Neptali Gonzales II to draft the articles of impeachment against Corona. Gonzales spearheads this move to buy some leniency for a close friend, former COMELEC Chair Benjamin Abalos.

TODAY The son of a hero and a revered president systematically destroys the democratic institutions of the Philippines to create a government he alone controls. The irony is dumbfounding. His deceit will unravel itself. Know the truth.
