8-8-08 The CA Bribery Panel Investigation

I filed 2 pleadings: 82 pages and 82 pages - a) Intervention and b) Supplemental Disbarment Complaint against the CA Big 5 and included J. Edgardo Cruz, J. Martin Villarama, J. Sabio's 2 lawyer daughters Fides Angel "Bobbie" Sabio, Silvia Jo, and I will later add Midas Marquez.


I was shocked and flabbergasted that the 3 Panel investigation was and is being held in a petite room called S.C. training center, at the first floor of Centennial Bldg, Supreme Court, below the 2nd Flr. JBC, in front of PGH Hospital.


I thought it will be large enough like our Malolos Gym which is 1/10 of the Ateneo Gym. But, the room is good for just 100 persons.

When I filed the 2 pleadings with the Office of C.J. Reynato Puno, his P.S. - the most beautiful and "mabango" Jasmin Mateo (against whom I filed the administrative case I lost on 2007) peeped inside and was beside me. Every time I filed pleadings on fridays, Jasmin Mateo would surprisingly be beside me and my 3 dwarfs. Using Justice Sabio's "Deadma" not Tongpats, I snubbed Jasmin.

So, along the corridors of power, I also Deadma Justice Apolinario D. Bruselas, 3 times ... the final brush, when I was 5 inches off his body as I entered the Panel Room.

I stood up since there was no vacant chair. I was surprised when the Big 5 with some of their staff and 70% of the audience are composed of media-journalists. I was able to sit down during the break, and I wrote, luckily the words "Fides Angel "Bobbie" Sabio" the name of Justice Sabio's lawyer daughter against whom I filed the disbarment complaint as "Jane Doe."

As TV and Print media published: Justice Callejo scholarly scolded Justices Sabio, Vidal and Roxas due to word wars and incivility for lies, cover-up, name-dropping Fr. Bernas, boasting of daily recitation of the holy rosary, holy communion, Bible and rosary. It was a cheap atheist's soap opera.

Will you please all tell me then, why the public did not participate in the panel investigation amid the Trio's Order that the investigation was and is OPEN TO THE PUBLIC and MEDIA, with no cameras (but the TRIO allowed cameras after hearing).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GSIS-Meralco_bribery_case

The GSIS-Meralco bribery case, legally termed criminal obstruction of justice and malfeasance in office, is a political controversy and pending Supreme Court of the Philippines legal case, involving the P 10-million bribery attempt which allegedly involved a Manila Electric Company (Meralco) 'emissary' and Philippine Court of Appeals Justice Jose Sabio.

The "case-switching" scandal originated from Meralco and Government Service Insurance System (Philippines) row, after Sabio - in a letter-complaint against Justices Vicente Roxas and Bienvenido Reyes - revealed the attempted felony in consideration for him giving way to Reyes' chairmanship of the CA's Special 9th Division.

It has caught wide media coverage and has achieved political, international and judicial significance because of its very threat to the integrity and credibility of the Philippine judicial system. The corruption scandal forthwith caused the motu proprio assumption of jurisdiction over the issue, by the High Tribunal per its Chief Justice's rare agendum of an En Banc hearing and deliberation on August 6, 2008. The Senate of the Philippines' legislators, inter alia, called for speedy resolution of the issues.[4][5] The scandal engulfs the Judiciary and has uncloaked a dark, transactional periphery of the justice system.

Salonga: CA corruption exposé good for reforms

By Norman Bordadora Philippine Daily Inquirer First Posted 00:41:00 08/03/2008 FORMER SENATE PRESIDENT JOVITO Salonga on Saturday confirmed the purported corruption in the Court of Appeals and said reforms were urgently needed.

“It is true that there is bribery in the appellate court,” the 88-year-old founder of the judiciary watchdog group Bantay Katarungan told the Inquirer. “It should be stopped. The bribery should be exposed. It should be the beginning of legal reforms in our system of justice.”

Preventive suspension

On Friday, a former Malabon City judge asked the Supreme Court to order the preventive suspension of all appellate court justices involved in the Meralco vs GSIS case. In a “verified complaint-letter affidavit,” Florentino Floro Jr. said these justices should be investigated for gross misconduct, gross ignorance of the law, manifest undue interest and violations of the Codes of Judicial Conduct and of Professional Responsibility, among others. Floro said the high court should once and for all “cleanse the entire Court of Appeals.” “The undersigned, in his conscience, knocks at the doors of this court, because of the shocking events which rocked the very foundations of our entire judicial system: CA justices accusing each other, not in courts, but in the media. This is too much. This is the darkest hour of the CA since its creation,” he said. Floro named as respondents in the case Sabio and Associate Justices Bienvenido Reyes, Apolinario Bruselas, Myrna Dimaranan-Vidal and Vicente Roxas, as well as CA Presiding Justice Conrado Vasquez Jr. He said the high court should appoint one of its retired associate justices as an independent investigator and a special prosecutor to look into the matter.

Headline maker

Floro himself made headlines when he was ordered dismissed from the judiciary in 2006 by the Supreme Court. The high court declared him mentally unfit after he admitted to having “psychic visions,” having dwarfs as friends and being an “angel of death” who could inflict pain on people, especially those he perceived to be corrupt. Undeterred, Floro filed cases against judiciary officials he claimed to have violated the law. In April 2007, he filed administrative charges against what he called the CA’s “Dirty Dozen,” whom he accused of corruption. He said those found guilty should be dismissed from government service and disbarred. With reports from Jerome Aning in Manila; Ma. Cecilia Rodriguez, Inquirer Mindanao

3-man panel created to look into CA bribery try
08/04/2008 | 03:45 PM

MANILA, Philippines - The Supreme Court on Monday created a three-man panel of retired justices that will investigate the bribery issue in connection to the Court of Appeals’ controversial ruling on the Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) leadership row.

The panel, created during an en banc meeting of the high court, will be led by retired Justice Carol Griño-Aquino and has former Justices Flerida Ruth Romero and Romeo Callejo as members.

The panel will start its investigation on Thursday, August 7, and is expected to submit a report on or before Aug. 21.

"They will investigate the propriety of actions of the justices in the decisions of the Court of Appeals and also the allegations of the attempt to bribe a justice of the Court of Appeals," SC spokesman Midas Marquez said.

The appelate court, headed by Presiding Judge Conrado Vasquez Jr, turned over the case to SC after an en banc session last Thursday.

Heart Attack - 8-7-08

http://www.sunstar.com.ph/static/net/2008/...eralco.row.html

Justice Bienvenido L. Reyes was on leave after he suffered a seizure August 7, Thursday evening. He was brought to the intensive care unit of the Capitol Medical Center in Quezon City for "valvular heart disease, secondary to rheumatic heart disease; mitral regurgitation; and aortic stenosis."

Reyes's attending physician, Dr. Francisco Lukban, however, declared him stable.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valvular_heart_disease

Valvular heart disease is any disease process involving one or more of the valves of the heart (the aortic and mitral valves on the left and the pulmonary and tricuspid valves on the right). Valve problems may be congenital (inborn) or acquired (due to another cause later in life). Treatment may be with medication but often (depending on the severity) involves valve repair or replacement (insertion of an artificial heart valve). Specific situations include those where additional demands are made on the circulation, such as in pregnancy.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aortic_valve_stenosis

Aortic valve stenosis (AS) is a valvular heart disease caused by the incomplete opening of the aortic valve.
The aortic valve controls the direction of blood flow from the left ventricle to the aorta. When in good working order, the aortic valve does not impede the flow of blood between these two spaces. Under some circumstances, the aortic valve becomes narrower than normal, impeding the flow of blood. This is known as aortic valve stenosis, or aortic stenosis, often abbreviated as AS.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rheumatic_heart_disease

Rheumatic fever is an autoimmune inflammatory disease which may develop after a Group A streptococcal infection (such as strep throat or scarlet fever) and can involve the heart, joints, skin, and brain. It commonly appears in children ages 6 through 15.
