Kayo naman alam naman ninyo na Valedictorian si Senator sa Lapaz Elementary School. Sempre super matalino siya. Pero sa National Science High School lang indi na Valedictorian. Public high school lang hindi pa naka Valedictorian Bakit? I thought she is super matalino. Sana naman tigilan na ni Madam ang "let me educate you" at "GAGO"

Uttering the word "gago" is an insult. This word is never uttered in the court of law as it is insulting and demeaning. Miriam having said that word should have been cited for contempt instead of Aguirre who covered his ears. Don't we use to say " I don't want to hear about it"? There is double standard here. Judges in court listen to arguments and weigh evidences. Judges only talk to render an opinion at the conclusion of the trial. Santiago could not stop her BIG MOUTH!

Miriam Santiago insists that her tapes be played repeatedly as punishment to Aguirre. This is a torture devise that malevolent Police Services use in Eastern Europe. This goes to show the mindset of the lunatic Brenda. She thinks in brutal terms, like an inquisitor during the dark ages. There is no semblance of kindness or understanding in her. Hers is nothing but anger and hatred of everyone who thinks differently. With lawmakers like this the country is like in a timewarp. Nothing moves.

Coming from humble beginnings... from the barrios, Miriam Santiago has risen from the ranks, and has found herself within the few "entitled" oligarchy. That sense of 'intoxicated' power and position is manifested in her intolerant and abusive conduct to anyone or anything that would challenge her new sense of "elevated" status-as a Pinoy senator of course! If this was the time of the French revolution, her head will be rolling in a basket!!!

Finally, Miriam has met her match in Atty Aguirre. Alam pala niya ko ano ang pambabastos, then why does she do it everytime she addresses the impeachment court. If there is anyone who should be cited for direct contempt of the impeachment court, it is Miriam herself. She has demeaned and disrespected the impeachment court by her foul and crude language. I just wonder what kind of family upbringing Mirian had that made her what she is--a bully and brat. Shame

The shaming of people that Miriam Santiago is doing is not right. It is disgusting and totally uncalled for. Her role in the impeachment trial is to behave and act as a judge and nothing more. She should be there listening to many voices except hers. I hope the Hague gives her a dose of her own medicine.

Aguirre should have never apologized because by doing so he validated Brenda's abusive, bullying ways. The Prosecution Team should have volunteered to go to Jail with Aguirre as an expression of support and to make a statement that they will not take the likes of Santiago sitting down. When Brenda used the word Gago in the impeachment proceedings she forfeited the right to be respected. That the Prosecution meekly submitted to the Court's contempt decision speaks volumes not only of the prosecution's weakness but of the submissive character of the Filipino. Now Brenda will use this incident as one reason for Corona's acquittal.

Likewise, I'm extremely disappointed at Sen Santiago's loud verbal assault on the dignity of prosecution lawyers on Feb 29 (day 26) at the Impeachment Trial. I watched the video showing how she loudly berated people at the trial. Her loud usage of gago should be enough to cite her for contempt of court. Contempt should be based on Rule 3.03 Judicial Code of Conduct "A judge shall maintain order and proper decorum in court", and rule 3.04 "A judge should be patient, attentive, and courteous to lawyers, especially the inexperience, to litigants, witnesses, and others appearing before the court" Santiago's "How dare you argue with me! - while scolding a witness was not in line with proper decorum & courtesy.

Steve R: I could not agree more with what you said. There is a double standard. Miriam could utter insulting words with impunity without being censured. In the court of law, trial lawyers do the talking and the judge does the listening. In the case of Corona's trial, Miriam Santiago (a jury-judge) does too much talking. Miriam must be loving her voice! What the hell is Enrile doing? Watching and enjoying the antics of the clowns?

We in the western world believe that Sen Santiago violated the universal “Code of Conduct’ 1. She had repeatedly exhibited impatience and making sarcastic remarks/jokes over and over again. 2. She had been acting, undignified, and discourteous to the counsels. 3. She failed to perform duties impartially and diligently. 4. Her rude, abusive and otherwise improper treatment of parties, counsel, witnesses, etc 5. As she admitted herself on her illness Santiago is indeed Judicial Incapacitated - a disability which which interferes with her performance of her judicial duties. She is suffering from acute Physical and mental incapacity. In view of these reasons, we believe she deserves an immediate suspension or inhibition in the Chief Justice's Trial.

I find it rather absurd that the senate hearing regarding the impeachment of Corona would issue contempt of court to Aguirre when he is not even uttering anything that would be seen as disrupting the process of justice or compromising the trial per se but simply blocking his ears with the palm of the hand from hearing Santiago's rant so that Aguirre could preserve the integrity of his eardrums. Would it be disrespectful to bring an earplug in court? Show me any rules of court to that effect. Respect BTW is a two-way street. The arrogance of government is quite revealing.

Sen-Judge Miriam Defensor was within her right to berate the "gago' prosecution panel for their inept handling of the Impeachment case. It is her right with justified reasons to lecture on those who appears before her for not presenting their case correctly. Aguirre being a lawyer before the court had no right to insult the judge- and no excuse for his behavior-- no wonder that the Contempt citation was passed without any objection--- not even from Drillion, Trillanes, Honasan- and other lapdogs of Aquino!! Aguirre is no hero! He acted like a cad!! Farinas and Tupas were groveling in presenting their apologies to the court!!

“They want me to change my personality. Hindi na possible ‘yan because I was born this way eh,” Santiago said. Madam Santiago seems to convey that her years in Law School didn't benefit her to change and refine her personality, in-fact, "it's not possible," she emphasized. To me this is sad. I will pray for her that God will change her because God can change people.

Historical jurisprudence took a set back when Senator Judges allowed gago to be stricken off the court's journal on the 26th day of Corona's impeachment trial. Only law students who are enthused with the meaning of due diligence will have a shot at knowing that gago was verbally used when Corona's impeachment court was in session. In my view, the utterance of gago while any court is in session is a violation of the Code of Ethics for the Law Profession. "Canons of Judicial Ethics[Administrative Order No. 162 dated August 1, 1946 of the Department of Justice.] Section 10. Courtesy and civility Judges should be courteous to counsel, especially to those who are young and inexperienced, and also to all others concerned in the administration of justice in their courts."

It's easy for the other people to say, "just let it go, she is that way" because it was not them who were called "gago." These prosecutors have also a life outside the court and they could be someone's lawyer. I think Senator Santiago should apologize not as a judge but as a humble person. I'm sure people will admire her for that and forgive her.

In Pilipino...'masyadong bakya'. How come she wasn't admonished or be reminded that calling a fellow lawmaker 'gago' is also a no-no. Professionals & high-ranking people don't resort to inappropriate language like that. PNL is right...only in the palengke & only in the Phils. Who does Sen. Santiago (brain damage) thinks she really is? Her excuse is she was born this way. It's BS & unacceptable. Abusing & victimizing others are not rights of senators. It's clear that she doesn't mince words when it comes to procedures but a little bit of diplomacy & tact will help. A friendly reminder being a senior legislator will be appreciated more. Being bane,profane, crude, rude & rural has no place in the hallowed ground of the senate. What a piece of s..t.

Appropriate punishment for senator Santiago for reprimanding, in strong terms, and not allowing the mocking insolence, impertinent disrespectful attitude of Atty Aquirre, against this senator judge, inside the impeachment confine, is the support of her fellow senator judges.., finding the miserable Atty Aquirre in contempt, and detaining him 48 hours in the senate chambers, and making Aquirre listen 24 continues hours to video recordings of senator Santiago Santiago lecturing, reprimanding, in the same strong terms she has always done, that makes her a national treasure.

Takot yata si Enrile na parusahan si Miriam sa pagamit ng salitang gago. Pinarusahan si Aguirre pero si Miriam ay wala. Hindi ba mas malala, masakit at walang modo ang anyo ng pagsasalita ni Miriam? Kaya takot si Enrile na parusahan si Miriam at baka maalis siya bilang president ng Senado.

I do believe that Filipino citizens or voters can't afford to tolerate & live with a chronic bully like Senator Miriam Defensor-Santiago. Again, critics agree that verbal attack or abuse is the mechanism of a weak person holding unlimited dominance. A scholar once said: "Verbal abuse can be subtle, vague, & unpredictable, yet it is insidious because the victim usually gets brainwashed, conditioned, & confused to the point they don't recognize the seriousness of their suffering." Only foggy & bewildered Senators would tolerate a chronic bully in the impeachment trial.

Sen. Miriam, I just hope hindi mo dadalhin sa ICC ang ugali mo, you might just end up as a disgrace to your people and your country. Better yet, give it up. At least dito sa Pinas, pwede ka naming pagtiisan, baka duon ka pa magkalat, nakakahiya ka para sa lahing Pilipino

To avoid embarrassment the P-NOY administration should look into the matter to withdraw the assignments she has at the ICC. Just asking at her tirades against the laywer is it allowed in the impeachment courts, a behavior like that is being tolerated by the impeachment courts. Is this attitude included in their rules. To scold lawyers, to call lawyers GAGO and STUPID. Elected Senators you are all representative of the people, You are elected to serve the people, Is Sen. Santiago's serving the interest of the people? If not cite her also for contempt. You are very quick to cite Aquirre for contempt for his behavior, what about the behavior Senator-Judge Santiago. What you will do about it.

This Impeachment is all about politics which is why Corona will walk. Revilla, Lapid, Estrada & Sotto coming from the movie industry should predictably vote for Conviction, if only to honor the memory of their esteemed colleague, FPJ, whom we all know was cheated by Gloria Arroyo, Corona's benefactor. They have are iffy at best. For acquittal are: Angara, Joker Arroyo, Santiago, Honasan, Marcos, Villlar, Pia Cayetano, & Alan Cayetano. Maybe 8 or 10 Senators will surely vote for impeachment but for that 16 votes are needed. Those votes are just not there. I pray I am wrong. There's nothing I would like to see than the impeachment of Corona and the conviction of the Arroyos and their minions. But it is what it is.

Trivia: MUSIC TORTURE was used by the military to flush out Noriega when the US invaded Panama in December 1989. Now the Senate of the Philippines wants to use Miriam's recorded speeches (ranting in the halls of Congress) played repeatedly as a new form of torture to punish Vitaliano Aguirre. This Philippine Congress can't stop shaming this country by its immaturity and insanity.

This op-ed is very appropriate. Steve R called it double standard which I also echoed and so are the many writers who contributed to this forum. Miriam Santiago has crossed the line not but once but many times. She insults people and gets away with it. She thinks being offensive or disagreeable is cool. Apparently Miriam (aka Brenda) is being treated with kid's gloves by her peers in the Senate. She even had the audacity to be proud that she was born that way with an abhorrent personality and she has no intention of even modifying it. What a jerk! I hope Hague (ICC) teaches her a lesson she won’t forget.

This suggestion of Miriam (who is about to join an international court in the Hague) to replay her tapes for hours as a form of punishment to Vitaliano Aguirre is the weirdest and most ludicrous idea. It could only come from a deranged women born of nobility in the 15 or 16th century. Miriam is deserving of the so called Tudor Punishment as a witch.

The Alphabet Man: Allow JOMA to return. Trillianes and Honasan were involved in the overthrow of the government which was no different from the communist's agenda in the past. Luis Taruc (a true commie) even became a Congressman at the height of communist's insurgency or popularity. Trillianes and Honasan were allowed to run for public office and became senators. I smell hypocrisy and a double standard. Allow the people to decide JOMA's political faith. It is not right to infer that the Aquinos are too friendly (coddlers, if you may) with communists or NPAs in the distant past.

Most critics agree that "bullies respect only those who say, ENOUGH." Again, If the Filipino voters would give in & go along with Senator Santiago's pseudo-superiority, or her "rudeness as an imitation of the weak man's strength," verbal bullies like Senator Santiago would never be held accountable.

Atty Aguirre a hero, for Senator? My foot! You whiners don't realize he was planted in there to screw up the trial and get minutes of fame. Reason: He doesn't have any business to be in the front since his role to present article 7 was already trashed by lead prosecutor Tupas. He was there to antagonize the judges and to create an issue which he realized he was wrong, that's why he apologized for his act. The trial that should last only a week if the prosecutors were prepared still goes on without an end in sight, so I don't think the judges should be scolded for going ballistic. Professional people accept mistakes professionally, immature whines when scolded.

I agree with you overkill iyong ginawa ni Santiago. But again focus on the goal.. Kailangan ng itigil ang kapalpakan ng impeachment case na ito. Kalimutan mo muna ang crush mong si PNOY at mag isip ka ng malalim. Dahil kay miriam, nagising ang bayan sa kapalpakan ng prosecution. Kaya sorry na lang back to the drawing board ang iyong beloved.

Miriam Santiago is a hopeless case. Would she display the same uncivilized behavior at the International Court? Miriam Santiago is a big bully and a total embarrassment. She must always have the last word. She must always be the right one. I've never seen a bigger ego than this lunatic. Her ego is as big as her fat cheeks. What's sad is the Filipino people keep on electing her as a Senator of the Republic. With politicians like Santiago, we will forever be a third-rate country and a laughing-stock of the more civilized nations.

You need to be reminded, she was elected by the people as a senator and acting judge in this impeachment court. In brief, she is being paid by the people as a public servant, doesn't she? Is she serving the people's interest with her demeanor in this case? Some of you doesn't seem to understand that! Tsk tsk tsk...

With the public announcement that Iglesia Ni Cristo (a religious based organization) is supporting the acquittal of CJ Corona, other religious based org must respond accordingly. Cardinal Sin galvanized People Power that toppled the tyranny of Marcos & it appears that now is a good time for one of the living Cardinals to carry on what Cardinal Sin had achieved in 1986 - the return of freedom in a democratic society. The extension of corruptions under CGMA must be stopped. CJ Corona stands out as one of the biggest, most powerful extension of corruptions under CGMA, He must be stopped. His conviction will take a very big chunk of corruption in the PH.

In my opinion, the true color of Iglesia Ni Cristo is being laid out in full view by no other than Iglesia Ni Cristo themselves. Last month 1000s rallied at the Quirino Grandstand to show Bible study to others who might want to join INC. INC spokesperson Bienvenido Santiago stated that the rally was purely religious & added "(This is not for anyone in particular but for the glory of God for the salvation of man)," Was B Santiago 'Lying Through His Teeth? My understanding of all reported NEWS about INC would make me believe that B. Santiago was indeed lying. Who would want to join the Iglesia Ni Cristo? Who would want to leave INC? Purely religious, my foot. I'll stay away near an INC bldg, especially near the ghost town that INC bought in South Dakota.

Alam niyo ba na ang isa sa nagpapahirap sa ating lipunan ay ang mga taong kagaya ni Miriam Santiago, Enrile, at Corona. Dapat ang mga ganitong tao ay ene-export sa ibang bansa gaya ng Syria, North Korea para may pakinabang o di kaya i-confined sila sa lugar na di nakikita ng mga tao para di na dumami ang mga katulad nila. Nakakainis ang mga pagmumukha ang mga taong ito. Noon parang naniniwala ako na may pag-asa pang guminhawa ang pamumuhay ng mga kapos palad na kababayan sa ating bansa. Ngayon parang ala na akong liwanag na nakikita hanggat may mga aktibong taong kagaya nila Miriam, Enrile, Corona, isama na natin si Gloria na gumagalaw at nagmamanipula sa kaawa-awang lugmuk na sa kahirapang inang bansa.

PROFESSIONALISM & DIPLOMACY as well as RESPECT is lost in this impeachment proceedings. Allowing both sides to crack out of bounds jokes that are irrelevant to the case and patting/shaking hands, with a grin in the face, with the enemy during recess (should be blocked to the public) is purely hypocritical. Such demeanor are non-sense and completely unacceptable as it serves as distraction to what the people are really trying to accomplish. It's very similar to Rush Limbaugh's misogynistic remarks to a female law student re: contraception issue. It derails the real subject matter on US political agenda. Political strategy does not have to done this way! Tsk tsk tsk...

If we really look at the bigger picture, the "fault" is really in the SYSTEM. There is that existing clout of protectionism amongst the 'exclusive' Senator's club. And it only takes an unsympathetic, unapologetic, and intolerable "maniac" like her to exhibit that level of "omnipotence", and demonstrate their 'untouchability'. There is a serious disconnect with these so called leaders not only with the rest of the country but with their own sense of common decency.

PNL's current editorial was one of several reasons why Senator-Judge Enrile made a ruling as follows: Excerpt, “The court has arrived at a decision and ruling that it will deny the motion to suppress and accept the evidence for the consideration of the court in connection with Article II of the Articles of Impeachment and we are going to issue a lengthy, formal written decision or ruling on this particular matter,” Senate President Juan-Ponce Enrile announced after an all-party caucus held in the Senate. Enrile was referring to a 33-page motion to suppress “illegally obtained evidence” filed by Corona’s camp last week in connection with the bank documents presented as evidence by the prosecution team for Article 2 of the impeachment complaint." PNL's readership is global.

Nagtataka ako kung bakit di pinatitingnan kaagad sa Psychjatrist si Sen. Santiago . Her uncontrollable, repeated belligerent, ballistic behavior unmindful of what most people are saying (she said she cannot change) is a sign of psychosis. She knows for a fact that she has been branded as Brenda (brain damaged) because of her UNUSUAL behavior but she persists to do it. Ang simple definition ng psychotic ay ang paulit-ulit na paggawa ng isang bagay and expecting a different result each time, in her case expecting people to accept her behavior as normal.

Actually/factually, there is no need for congress to craft amendment to the bank secrecy law because by this administration using the the BSP and AMLC to obtain CJCorona's bank records, and passing it to the prosecuting team, used as evidence, it has, by so doing, negated this secretive banking law useless., therefore null and void, otherwise, its violation by this administration is only meant to single out/nail CJ Corona.

I'll say this again. Santiago used Gago in describing the actions of the prosecution (of dropping some of the charges) as a "figure of speech" because she was disappointed with them, not because they really are nincompoop. The prosecution don't have to dwell with those charges. The Court may find Corona not guilty (not necessarily innocent) for the charges (for lack of evidence etc), so be it. Conviction of one complaint would be enough to remove Corona from the position. Check this out: When the Bills were leading by 3 points with less than a minute remaining and receiving the ball, instead of "kneeling" at the end soon and kill the time, the receiver tried to advance the ball; fumbled it; the Patriots recovered it and scored a "touchdown", I screamed to the Bills "GAGO"!

GFJBHEDF; 'To my "little knowledge is a dangerous thing," co-PNL bloggers, concerning senator Defensor Santiago. There is no one.., more productive/prolific lawmaker in the senate than senator Santiago. By 2009, senator Santiago personally authored 692 bills. You know how many bills mama's Kim Jung Ill boy, senator Ninoy Aquino, now P'Noy authored then.., total? 9 bills all told. > LINK.'¯ I want to add Phre that as a productive lawmaker, I bet she couldn't stand allowing the incompetent prosecutors to waste taxpayers money by appearing unprepared, liars, manufacturing evidence, therefore the trial that should last a week turned to months and end is not even in sight. The wasted money could have been used to feed the hungry and jobs for the unemployed.
