Either way, there will still be chaos in the end

No matter what the decision of the court regarding Chief Justince Corona's case, there'll still be chaos among Filipinos. There'll be people who will try to re-open this case or be against the court decision so long as they disagree with the court's decision. Filipinos are still not ready--not yet mature--to accept anything just like in the major events that happened before in this nation.

I agree with, CJ Corona was not really the issue here. It's about a vindictive President trying to remove officials even to the extent of violating the laws and principles that preserve democracy in our country, along with his vain and arrogant allies who sided with him in the impeachment. I guess if there's anything good that had come out of this is that Filipinos get to know the true character of their leaders and politicians. Say for example... The three who voted for acquittal. One would wonder at their decisions and their place in the Senate and there's nothing you can say but that they see at the whole with independence and integrity.

The trial was really disappointing--I do not mean the outcome of the trial since it is to be expected if you have the majority of the senator judges judging a case using their own emotions/conscience a.k.a. own-understanding-of-the-law.
It's not that I am pro this group or not. It's just that with what I've seen, the trial itself from the very beginning started with a lot of fallacies in terms of proofs and even disregards the rules used in Philosophy--As Senator Santiago pointed out.

Rules in logic and rules of law. There was not really a strong and valid case against the Chief Justice and yet they proceeded anyway. The whole trial is one such great fallacy. It shows how much politics get in the way of order and rule of law in the government.
I read from somewhere that if Malacanang can do it to an official, trampling one's privacy rights and right to due process, and even to the extent of violating those timely-honored principles of check and balances, independence of the three branches of the government just to remove someone, then he can also do it to the ordinary people.

Start dealing with the crab mentality of the Filipinos and maybe it could get better than nothing.
I'm not a fan of the trial and I don't watch them as much as having interest of what's going to happen next. I'm more interested in knowing how will the government will deal with 7 million jobless citizens out there. LOL
Happy mylotting, Filipino.

Filipinos are smart but also ignorant of many things. This does not seclude the people sitting in government, unfortunately.
I too am not a fan. It just bothers me that people are destroying fellow persons time and again--in front of the public and in front of the world. And by destroying their name, they too are destroying families and their future. And what's worse, many people in the government do not know how to look and interpret the law at all and merely listens to their own faulty judgement and base their decisions according to their emotions or whatever suits them. And boy, this leaves a bitter taste on my mouth.
What really interest me is no longer the government or politics--it never did. I'd rather go and mind my own business that might help more people than these politicians will be able to.
I hope these politicians will really see what's the real problem and not just the carrot placed in front of their eyes and follow it like a donkey.

Well I guess it is the right of every citizen to appeal when convicted so I guess you cannot just allow that he would easily resign to the judgement he got from the impeachment court. I think that is not a sign of immaturity but a normal response from him believing he is not guilty.
In every issues we confront in our lives there are always two sides and both will always have their allies and foes on this. When one side wins then you expect opposition from the losing side. But for as long as both plays within the acceptable norms then I guess we can say they are mature enough to accept what has been judged.
