MANILA, Philippines (Nov. 23, 2011) – Senators Franklin Drilon and Francis Pangilinan, both members of the President Aquino’s Liberal Party, call on Chief Justice Renato Corona to inhibit from deliberations on the cases involving former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo to erase suspicions in the public’s mind that the Supreme Court is biased in favor of the former first couple.
At the weekly Kapihan sa Senado, Drilon said the main reason for Corona to inhibit himself was his being chief of staff and spokesman of Arroyo when she was vice president.
