DAY 7 CJ CORONA TRIAL: HIS DAUGHTER EARNING P8,476/YEAR ABLE TO BUY P18 MILLION PROPERTY IN MANILA

Properties of Corona's daughters (Day 7 Highlights of Impeachment Trial)

• During direct examination, Henares said the BIR was "surprised" to find out that Corona's daughter, Ma. Carla Constantino-Corona, only had a taxable income of P8,476 monthly in 2009; yet, she was able to buy a year later from her mother, Cristina, an P18-million property in La Vista, Quezon City. Henares said Carla only filed ITRs for the years 2008 and 2009.
• Enrile asked Henares if the BIR has filed a tax evasion case against Carla, and Henares said the BIR was still investigating whether the property was donated to Carla by her parents or if it was illegally acquired.
• Prosecutor Lim asked Henares about the BIR certificate for the sale of a lot in McKinley Hill, Taguig City, which was bought by another daughter of the chief justice, Maria Charina Corona, from Megaworld Corporation.
• Henares said Charina has never filed an ITR, but was a one-time taxpayer in the McKinley Hills transaction
• Henares said it is possible that Corona's daughter, Charina, would be able to explain how she was able to purchase multi-million-peso properties despite the lack of ITRs.
• Senator-judge Ralph Recto noted that the capability of Ma. Carla Corona-Castillo, to buy the La Vista property was being questioned because she did not file an ITR and, hence, had no regular source of income. Recto was about to ask Henares if the BIR has reviewed the ITRs of Carla's husband, but he withdrew the question because the BIR chief's testimony still did not cover this matter.

Authorization from President Aquino
• During cross-examination by defense counsel Serafin Cuevas, Henares said she was authorized by President Benigno Aquino III to divulge information regarding the ITRs of the chief justice, his wife, and their children and their children's spouses.
• Henares said the chief justice was her colleague at the SGV auditing firm and that her husband was Corona's favorite student at the Ateneo Law School. She added that she was also acquainted with Corona's wife.
• Asked by Cuevas if the Secretary of Finance told her "durugin mo na si Corona, kung maaari," Henares replied, "No."
•Senator-Judge Arroyo expressed his concern over the speed of the issuance of the presidential authorization to release the ITRs of Corona and his relatives. He warned that a parallel BIR investigation along with the impeachment trial were "twin moves" against one person that represented a "very potent" combination. Henares said that this was the first time that the President had issued such authority.

Corona's SALNs and ITRS
• Senator-judge Pangilinan asked whether or not the BIR may have overlooked the ITRs of the Corona spouses that recorded other income which could justify their assets. Henares replied that her agency conducted a diligent search and even checked the alpha lists.
• Senator-judge Cayetano asked Henares if she saw any discrepancies in Corona's SALNs in relation to his ITRs. Henares said Corona did not fill up the acquisition cost column and that some properties were registered the year after acquisition.
• Upon Senator-judge Drilon's inquiry, Henares explained that the regional district officer was made to produce the alpha lists from the Supreme Court. She said BIR records show that Corona only had one source of income.
• Henares said Corona's wife also did not file ITRs, but she was included in the alpha list of the John Hay Management Corporation and "has a little problem, with regard to directors' fees."

Corona must resign now! What a shame that he is still there in the Supreme Court. People have now doubts in our judicial system because of him, and because of this impeachment trial. Majority of the Filipino people are still quiet, but they sympathized with President Aquino's discontent of his overnight appointment as Chief Justice. The integrity of the Supreme Court is now in shake because of him, now that all the evidences against him have been divulged.

@PAENGTUBE with due respect, ms. miriam will not go down to the level of stupid ones. don't worry then, there is no chance that ms. miriam will waste her time on you.

[TeaseManiac]

@winglibato you should not be posting your stupid comments here. with your apparent pro corona attitude, you should have said that pres pnoy himself show his SALN instead! STUPID!!!

[TeaseManiac]

@kenhal2009 just how can your prayer be heard if it is a stupid one? it is apparent that corona doesn't love his country but rather "robbed" her. and in this premise, then he eventually will not resign! Get it? After all the evidences presented, where on earth will delicadeza come from corona? please think a little kenhal. please think...
