Corona okays SALN submission
January 18, 2012 | 6:00pm
Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato Corona has allowed his statement of assets, liabilities and net worth (SALN) to be submitted to the Senate impeachment court, his spokespersons today said.
Lawyer Karen Jimeno said the Chief Justice himself communicated his permission to give the documents to the impeachment court.
She, however, stressed that this is only Corona's personal decision and not the whole SC justices.
"Okay lang na ilabas kay Chief Justice pero yung other justices iba ang usapan yun," Jimeno told a media briefing during a short break of the proceedings.
SC Clerk of Court Enriquetta Vidal was forced to submit Corona's SALN after much prodding from several senator-judges who also assured her that she could not be cited in contempt by her superiors.
They said she could use as defense the subpoena issued by the impeachment court.
Presiding judge, Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile, ordered Vidal to submit and SALNs--from 2002 to 2011-- to the impeachment clerk of court and have them marked.
Enrile also pleaded to Corona's defense counsel, lawyer Serafin Cuevas, not to "punish" Vidal for submitting the documents.
