KIKO ON THE CA BRIBERY MESS
"SC should swiftly step in, act decisively in order to restore people's faith in the judiciary."

Following another bribery controversy this time involving the judiciary, Senate Majority Leader and Independent Senator Kiko Pangilinan today called on the Supreme Court to "act swiftly to get to the bottom of this latest scandal and immediately punish the guilty."

The SC must show no hesitation whatsoever in pursuing this controversy. The entire judiciary's reputation is tarnished by this scandal and the swiftness within which the SC responds will determine whether the damage is temporary and minimal or if it will be massive and irreparable," Kiko warned.

Justice Jose Sabio earlier protested the fishy Meralco petition decision by Presiding Justice Conrado Vazquez, Jr. insinuating that the latter received P10M from the power company.

"The SC must respond with clear and convincing resoluteness by dismissing from the service the CA justices involved in the irregularities if the evidence warrants it. I trust that under the leadership of CJ Puno justice will be done and the guilty made to account. The people, tired of endless corruption and irregularities, cry out in exasperation for results and decisive action," Kiko ended.
