Penalties

Mukhang kumbinsido ang mga Senador na may ginawang kamalian si CJ Corona sa hindi niya pag declare ng limpak limpak niyang saalapi sa kanyang SALN kasi maski si Senador Miriam parang nakikipag haggle na lang na yung parusa na ibigay sa kanya ay yung hindi pag sipa sa trabaho.  Ayon sa GMA news:

"Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago, for her part, asked whether the Senate can impose a lesser penalty if ever Corona is convicted on the charges made against him.

 

She specifically cited Section 3 (7) of Article XI which says: "Judgment in cases of impeachment shall not extend further than removal from office and disqualification to hold any office under the Republic of the Philippines, but the party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to prosecution, trial, and punishment, according to law."

 

"Thus the Senate can impose a lesser penalty like censure, reprimand, fine, suspension form office or the like. In case of conviction how should the penalty be determined?" she said during the trial."
