Good riddance. It is about time the drama-king got fired. In his capacity as Chief Justice, to interpret a Marcos-era bank secrecy law as justification for absolving himself from the requirements of a more recent law on the accountability of public servants shows his self-serving and corrupt logic.
Common sense suggests that old laws are repealed, implied or expressed, by new laws. R.A. 6713 is m...ore recent and it requires "cash on hand or in banks" be disclosed and this law has a repealing clause. More so, the language of the 1987 Constitution, a more recent and more legitimate social contract (compared to the perverted 1973 Constitution), backs R.A. 6713.
I hope his dollar accounts would give him much consolation; he will need it for his criminal defense. Without the clout of his judicial robes, things could get expensive. No more pro bono legal representation!
I pray the Tanodbayan will extend the same courtesy the impeached and convicted public servant showed to her when she hauls (or drags) him to the Sandigandayan. It will teach future generations of politicians and judges to shed their entitlement mentality and thus, the lesson of humility.
In a country where the rule of law reigns supreme, erring agents and interpreters of the law are treated the same as laymen. Justice knows no kamag-anak, kaibigan, kaklase or kabarilan.
Oh, I can't wait for the Philippine FOI Bill to be enacted into law.
