Repost: Former SC Chief Justice Corona Dies; He was 67

Senators, justices, judges, and lawyers on Friday mourned the death of former Chief Justice Renato Corona, extolling him for his defense of judicial independence.
Corona, who was removed from office for nondisclosure of his assets following a riveting months-long impeachment trial in 2012, died from cardiac arrest before dawn Friday. He was 67.
Corona, who was known to have battled diabetes for a long time, died at 1:48 a.m. at Medical City in Pasig City, surrounded by family. He is survived by his wife Cristina and their three children.
“We extend our condolences to the bereaved family of the late Chief Justice Renato Corona and join them in fervent prayers for his eternal repose,” Communications Secretary Herminio Coloma Jr. said in a statement.
Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno and the associate justices “mourn the passing” of Corona, the high court said. The Philippine flag in all courts and the Supreme Court colors were flown at half-staff beginning Friday.
Corona was appointed Chief Justice in May 2010, but his term was cut short when he was impeached and found guilty of underdeclaring his net worth—the country’s chief magistrate in the country’s history to have suffered such a fate.
“My deepest sympathies to Chief Justice Corona’s family and loved ones,” presidential candidate Sen. Miriam Defensor-Santiago said in her social media account.
Her running mate, Sen. Ferdinand Marcos Jr., said Corona was a victim of the Aquino administration’s “selective justice.”
“It is always sad to note the passing of a man like Chief Justice Renato Corona upon whom a great injustice was visited and it is unfortunate that at the time of his death he was still under this cloud that remained above him since the impeachment trial,” Marcos said.
Santiago and Marcos, together with Sen. Joker Arroyo who died in October last year, voted to acquit Corona at his impeachment trial.
Corona, an Ateneo de Manila University law graduate who earned his law master’s degree from Harvard University, served as former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s legal counsel and chief of staff before he was appointed Supreme Court associate justice in April 2002.
Arroyo appointed him Chief Justice on May 12, 2010 despite a constitutional prohibition on appointments during elections. Critics called it “midnight appointment.” Arroyo stepped down on June 30, 2010.
Her successor, President Aquino, showed his displeasure over Corona’s appointment by taking his oath before then Associate Justice Conchita Carpio Morales.
In December 2011, the House of Representatives voted to impeach Corona, initiating a trial against him at the Senate. The trial ended in his conviction for betrayal of public trust and culpable violation of the Constitution.
In San Pablo City, Laguna, judges and court employees vowed to wear crapes until Corona’s remains were laid to rest.
“For us, [Corona’s] name, honor, and reputation remain unsullied despite the injustice done to him by the powers that be,” said Judge Agripino Morga of the city’s Regional Trial Court Branch 32.
Vicente Joyas, former president of the Integrated Bar of the Philippines, said Corona had considerable contributions to the country from his stint in Malacañang to his years in the judiciary.
Joyas remembered Corona as a “fair” justice whose “integrity is beyond question.”
Rico Quicho, a member of Corona’s legal team at his impeachment trial and now the campaign spokesperson for Vice President Jejomar Binay, remembered the late magistrate’s unparalleled “moral courage.”
“I am deeply saddened by the passing of CJ Renato Corona. He is a good man, loving husband and father. CJ Corona fought a good fight to uphold the independence of the institution he dearly loved,” Quicho said in a statement.
Karen Jimeno, also a member of Corona’s legal team in 2012, looked back at how Corona showed strength in the face of a painful and very public trial.
“What I remember from him is that I think he was also unfairly perceived by the public because of the trial by publicity that he had to go through. But at the end of the day, you have a person who is intelligent, which is why he was appointed to the Supreme Court in the first place as justice, and then later on as Chief Justice,” Jimeno told the Inquirer.
Jimeno could not recall the last time she saw Corona, but remembered that he would regularly meet the defense team for dinner even after the trial just to catch up.
“After the impeachment, we stayed in touch with CJ Corona. We would even regularly see him for dinners or get together with the whole defense team,” Jimeno said.
“At that time, he looked OK. He even lost weight in a good way, like he was able to exercise, [he was] spending a lot of quality time with the family,” she added.
Asked if she thought the trial took a toll on Corona, Jimeno said: “I think, to a certain extent, yes.”
“We saw even during the impeachment that his health declined. I think that came from months of having to deal with the media, most of all the stress. Even during the trial, there was one day when his blood sugar dropped very low because he had been with a serious condition of diabetes since before,” she said.
She said the wake of the trial, which led to the filing of tax cases against Corona, added stress to the then already ailing magistrate. “So those things take a toll on your health,” she said.
His death extinguished his criminal liability for cases pending in the Sandiganbayan and Court of Tax Appeals. With reports from Nikko Dizon, Dona Pazzibugan and Maricar Cinco, Inquirer Southern Luzon
Natural Detox for Your Colon
1. Apples and apple cider vinegar or ACV helps in cleansing the colon
- Many advanced colon-cleansing protocols include whole apples, apple sauce, apple juice, or apple cider vinegar (ACV) because this simple fruit is a powerful cleansing food. High in fiber, a nutrient that is already widely known to promote healthy digestion, apples are also rich in pectin, a carbohydrate compound that acts as a thickening agent inside the gut. When taken in therapeutic doses, pectin can help root out built-up toxins in the colon and strengthen the intestinal lining.
2. Avocados are good in cleansing the colon.
- For everyday colon cleansing, avocados are another great option for detoxification and digestion. Like apples, avocados are rich in fiber, and include both soluble and insoluble varieties at a ratio of about one to three, which is quite unique. As it turns out, insoluble fiber is the type that promotes healthy bowel movements and cleanses the colon, effectively reducing one's overall risk of developing colon cancer. Also important is the avocado's soluble fiber content, which is essential for absorbing water and binding with other digested substances to help them easily move through the digestive tract. This mechanistic "gelling" effect also helps maintain bowel regularity in its own unique way, and prevents the toxic build up that can lead to irregularity and constipation.

Repost: Kris: Abu Kidnap Plot Reason for Not Renewing ABS-CBN Contract

Source: www.entertainment.inquirer.net
Actress-TV host Kris Aquino on Thursday confirmed the alleged plot by bandit group Abu Sayyaf to kidnap her and cited this as the reason for not renewing her contract with broadcast network ABS-CBN.
The plan to kidnap Kris and boxing icon Manny Pacquiao was disclosed by President Benigno Aquino III on Wednesday.
Kris requested that her statement be published verbatim.
“Marinel- I was taken by surprise by the Malacañang statement. I wasn’t warned it would be made public. I had a 4 a.m. call time today for a TVC shoot and my sister Viel sent me the PDI front page.
“Honest truth, I was made aware of this plot late February, early March. My sisters tried to shield me because they didn’t want me to have more fear than necessary. If you recall, my sons and I left in March to go abroad for three weeks. The health reasons I cited weren’t fabricated because the stress coming from the threat had caused my BP to constantly elevate to higher than 150/110.
“I didn’t renew with ABS CBN because of this threat. That was a painful decision, but I needed to make that judgment call so as not to expose others to harm. It was that serious that I walked away from a new two-year contract for a job I’ve loved for 20 years. I informed my bosses the pertinent facts, but not full details from the intelligence reports, and they kept what I was allowed to relay to them under wraps. I was told to strictly keep the news contained and I obeyed. And I am grateful for the respect I was shown.
“And to their credit, everybody closest to me – both coworkers, relatives and friends – kept quiet to protect me and because they knew this was a matter to be taken seriously with utmost precaution.
“We left Palm Sunday and returned for my endorsement work commitments second week of April. You can check my IG (Instagram) feed from March onwards – there have been very few location specific posts, and since our return, the two boys (her sons Josh and Bimby) and I have been living with PNoy.
“If you’ll use this text – I hope I am quoted verbatim. I read and re-read my text to you four times to make sure I didn’t reveal more than what I have knowledge of and what is safe to share.”

Must Be a Crazy Love Triangle
Image courtesy of www.wikihow.com
Something allegedly was indeed developing between HN and YT. When HN first joined YT, the latter was smitten. His admirable physique and impressive skills in public relations made HN easy to like. Given that the location matched the call of the season, HN and YT had opportunities to loosen up and enjoy the amenities of the site.
Prior to being on the set, HN and YT had time to kill in their tent. However, during one time, both had yet to show up in the waiting area. Their absence made someone in the crew go to their tent and call them. When the door was opened, the crew tried to be calm, as it was noticeable that YT was fixing his shorts and something was up under the pants of HN. After a few minutes, the two did their segment.
As YT became fond of HN, he insisted on having him as the guest. The production could not complain, as HN was game anyway. However, one time, both repeated their disappearing act. The crew decided to do a bit of sleuthing and sneaked towards the window. This time, he had to be calmer than before because he was too shocked to see the scene. YT was a willing bottom and HN was giving him the time of his life. Thus, the mystery had been solved. Something indeed was happening behind the locked door.
When II realized what the production was telling her, she felt jealous. Recently, her attention shifted to HN and she even took him to a major event a couple of months ago. The presence of HN during the event was not at all surprising as he is among the talents the network aims to build up. Given his previous experience, HN knows all the moves to make a woman happy, and happiness is indeed what II gets from him. Thus, II had to cut the competition and get rid of opportunities that would bring YT and HN together at the company’s expense. However, knowing that II could be powerful, those who have an idea of her fondness for HN are expecting his career to zoom in the coming days.
