  • Senate Likely to Hold Pre-Trial by Christina Mendez (The Philippine Star) Updated January 04, 2012 12:00 AM Comments (89) MANILA
    Senate likely to hold pre-trial By Christina Mendez (The Philippine Star) Updated January 04, 2012 12:00 AM Comments (89) MANILA, Philippines - The senator-judges in the impeachment trial of Chief Justice Renato Corona are considering a pre-trial conference so they can have an idea of the evidence as well as the number of witnesses to be presented. “We want a pre-trial so we can speed up the process and determine the evidence they will present,” Senate impeachment court spokesperson Maria Valentina Cruz said. She said the impeachment court would also have to decide on Corona’s request for a preliminary hearing ahead of the actual trial on Jan. 16. Cruz said the impeachment trial will start at 2 p.m. to allow the senator-judges to do legislative work in the morning. She also said only select TV networks will be allowed to set up cameras inside the plenary hall where the trial will be held. “There are some restrictions. The media cannot interview in the hallways and the plenary hall. Ambush interviews are not allowed. There will be two rooms in the Senate where media can conduct interviews,” she said. The Corona camp is seeking a preliminary hearing on its argument that the impeachment complaint is constitutionally infirm and defective because the 188 congressmen who signed it were unable to verify their signatures or prove that they had read and understand the articles of impeachment. The Chief Justice’s lawyers argued that verification is a constitutional requirement. But for members of the House prosecution panel, Corona was hiding behind a technicality in his pleading to avoid or delay his trial.

HB 5487 provides that the requisite clearance or approval permits from the DAR for the purpose of registering lands shall only apply to those covered by the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP). This means, no such clearance shall be required for agricultural lands with an area of five hectares and below, as provided for in Section 6 of RA 6657, and those lands used or found necessary for parks, wildlife, forest reserves, and other purposes as identified in Sec. 10 of RA 6657. DAR Undersecretary for Field Operations Karlo Bello and Undersecretary for Legal Affairs Luis Meinrado Pangulayan support the bill, saying that it will expedite the transfer, sale or disposition of agricultural lands not covered by the CARP.
