Meet the Battalion not the Battery

Dear insansapinas,
This coming Monday, the impeachment trial of SCJ Corona is going to start. If I were him, I'll really be scared. He is not facing a battery of lawyers as prosecutors--but a battalion of them.

For the purpose of recognizing the people in this coming "teleserye"
to find out who make the booboos and who are the heroes and anti-heroes I published here the backgrounds of the eleven House Prosecutors and names of the 57 prosecuting attorneys. Magigiba ang favorite legal oriented drama series kong The Good Wife nito. hehehehe.

Another purpose is to correct the wrong notions of the some observers about the prosecutors. Naaah, not all of them were Ateneo graduates--only six out of 11. The education profile of the lead prosecutor can not be found in Google.
Being a lifetime member of PICPA is not an achievement. All you have to do is to pay the lifetime membership fee.

Filipino lawyers and accountants (in the past years) were given reciprocity by some States in the US. Nothing to crow about.

Practising lawyers still need to research and study cases. The reviewers and and professors review textbook theories books and review materials. What if you are not practicing at all? Follow Miriam's advice. Study the impeachment procedures.
