Cheche Lazaro Presents: IMPEACHMENT (part2)

On the eve of the impeachment trial of Supreme Court Chief Justice Renato Corona, Cheche Lazaro dissects the legal, though admittedly more political, process that will remove him from office.

Lazaro talks to the different camps: from the prosecution (Niel Tupas, Harry Roque), defense (Serafin Cuevas) and senator-judges (Frank Drilon, Chiz Escudero), to people in the know (Raul Pangalanan, Maritess Vitug) to piece together the sordid tale that consists of allegations of betrayal of public trust and culpable violations of the constitution, and accusations of railroading and political persecution.

The episode also looks back on the first impeachment trial that rocked the country, and talks to the people (Joseph Estrada, Nene Pimentel, Roan Libarios) who were involved. They shed light on the questions left by the impeachment process that abruptly ended with EDSA People Power 2.

What lessons have we learned from the first impeachment? How can we assure that the mistakes of the past are not repeated in this one?

Cheche Lazaro also takes to the streets in the metro's landmarks to get the pulse of the people. Ordinary Filipinos weigh in on the issue as the big day approaches.

Vitug does not know what shes talking about. Her Shadows of Doubt is pure biased against the Supreme Court (a Hate Book). I am starting to dislike and loss trust with ABS-CBN with shows like this.
