Two leftist groups—Kilusang Mayo Uno and Anakbayan—backed Chief Justice Renato Corona’s challenge to 188 congressmen who signed the impeachment complaint and to Sen. Franklin Drilon to join him in signing a waiver authorizing disclosure of their bank deposits.
During his three-hour opening statement on Tuesday, Corona said President Benigno Aquino III was dominated by leftists.
“We dare them to speak with the same tone of self-righteousness that they used when they signed the complaint,” KMU chairman Elmer Labog said, referring to the congressmen.
Anakbayan chairman Vencer Crisostomo said: “It should not be difficult for the advocates of impeachment to sign the waivers as a gesture of sincerity and commitment to transparency and accountability in government.”
