So I happen to share a friend's summary/view on Philippine politics, specifically on the Corona's impeachment case. Im no expert on politics, but the UTANG NA LOOb cycle is rather obvious. To summarize, my friend Gino put it this way.
YOU SCRATCH MY BACK...
- Arroyo financed Corona's hospital bill when he was hospitalized due to a back problem.
- Arroyo appointed Corona as her Chief of Staff when she was vice president.
- Arroyo appointed Corona as her Spokesman when she was vice president.
- Arroyo appointed Corona as her Presidential Chief of Staff.
... - Arroyo appointed Corona as her Presidential Spokesman.
- Arroyo appointed Corona's wife to be a board member, then President, of JHMC.
- Arroyo made Corona as her acting Executive Secretary when she was President.
- Arroyo appointed Corona as an SC Associate Justice when she was President.
- Arroyo appointed Corona as an SC Chief Justice during the ban on midnight appointments before she stepped down as President.
I SCRATCH YOURS...
- Corona barred the creation of the “Truth Commission” which was tasked to expose the anomalies of Arroyo's administration.
- Corona barred EO2 revoking the midnight appointees installed by Arroyo (that includes himself).
- Corona barred the impeachment proceedings against Ombudsman Gutierrez, another protector of Arroyo.
- Corona allowed the illegal creation of another Congressional spot in Camarines Sur, now occupied by Dato Arroyo.
- Corona barred the Senate from putting Romulo Neri in contempt because he didn't appear in Arroyo's NBN-ZTE scandal hearing.
- Corona decided not to allow the public broadcast of Arroyo's Hello Garci Conversation.
- Corona decided as valid, Arroyo's gag order prohibiting government
officials to attend Congressional hearings without her permission.
- Corona dissented the case decision to allow FPJ (Arroyo's rival) to run for President.
