So while we completely sympathize with PNoy in his current confrontation with the Court, the reality is that he himself invited into his house the Devil that now haunts him. What is regrettable now is that having failed at first instance to do what is right, he is now destroying the very institution that that is indispensable in achieving public order in society. With his repeated attacks against the Court, he has achieved much in destroying the people’s faith in the Court as an institution. If he thinks he is doing the country a service by doing this, he better think again. For when people lose faith in the courts, they will have no further recourse but to take the law into their own hands.
Then he went into his old self again and concluded his piece with:
But all is not lost. Justices Corona and Del Castillo are both guilty of betrayal of public trust. The constitutional remedy is to remove them through the constitutional process of impeachment. PNoy does not only command the loyalty of both Houses of Congress. He also has the overwhelming support of the people. He can certainly cause the successful impeachment of these justices. Meanwhile, let’s spare the institution. You do not rebuild an already damaged institution by laying bombs at its foundations.
