Filipinos should vote out of office in May 2019 abusive Senators and representatives

Two people whose deaths can be directly traced to the abusive acts of Congress.

First is Chief Justice Renato Corona, whose impeachment was less an outcome of the rule of law, but more a political project orchestrated by a vengeful President, and carried out by his lieutenants in the House of Representatives and sealed by his allies in the Senate. The House prosecutors nailed Corona on a correctible oversight of a misdeclared statement of assets, liabilities and net worth (SALN), and the senator-judges agreed. This lowering of the bar for impeachable offenses which treated a SALN misdeclaration as if it was the equivalent to an act of treason inflicted on Corona a penalty that shamed him, from which he never recovered. The House and the Senate could have just poured poison into Renato Corona's drink, and it would have had the same effect.
