“It’s your turn.”
This was the statement issued today by former Akbayan Representative Risa Hontiveros to Chief Justice Renato Corona after she finished testifying before the Senate impeachment trial.
“From the start, I was already wondering what the purpose and expected content of my testimony would be as I did not make any allegations of Corona’s alleged $ 10 million. Neither did my letter-request addressed to the ombudsman referred to the amount. Despite that, I committed to testify if my presence before the court would help in finally compelling Corona to personally explain the charges against him,” Hontiveros said.
“I just hoped the Chief Justice is true to his word. It’s now his turn. No more conditions. No more excuses,” Hontiveros added.
