On December 12, 2011, 188 of the 285 members of the House of Representatives of the Philippines voted to transmit the 56-page Articles of Impeachment against Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato Corona. Of the six exclusive grounds laid down in Section 2, Article XI of the Constitution, the three grounds of (1) betrayal of public trust, (2) graft and corruption, and (3) culpable violation of the Constitution were distributed among the eight Articles of Impeachment tried by the Senate starting January 16, 2012. On May 29, 2012, the Senate, voting 20–3, convicted Corona under Article II of the Articles of Impeachment filed against him pertaining to his failure to disclose to the public his statement of assets, liabilities, and net worth. Below are the eight Articles and the respective arguments presented by the prosecution and defense panels in support of their allegations. == Article I == :''Respondent betrayed the public trust through his track record marked by partiality and subservience in cases involving the Arroyo administration from the time of his appointment as Supreme Court Justice which continued to his dubious appointment as a midnight Chief Justice and up to the present.'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Articles of Impeachment against Chief Justice Renato Corona」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
