The politicians are the actors, and we the people are the audience.

By the way, I love your title. My tow cnets. Carpio is now the acting Chief justice until Aquino picks a new one, whether someone allied to him, his predecessor or from outside the Court. The ombudsman, the acting Chief Justice's cousin, might launch an investigation if Corona's assets are ill-gotten. If it is proven, he will have a case against the Ombudsman, (just like Erap). The people and the media will eat the issues and continue to speculate. Some figures from the trial might grace again the television screen and gain some airtime. Some senators might win or lose due to their vote on the trial. While others have simply no care. Whatever it is, their vote will cause an effect on their lives one way or another. The Justice committee of the House of Representative might impeach another Justice for plagiarism. I don't know if this will push through. An army of commenter will take sides or o sides at all. We might have another impeachment drama (good luck to us). Hope these scenarios answered your questions.

Well those are scripted in the sense they are reading it from their own speeches. I do not think we are being fooled in here since I guess if they wanted it for the show only then we could recognized that from what they speak on their speech. You can easily decipher who are sour graping and have not move on from the pains they have dealt in their lives. You can easily decipher from their speech which is telling the truth and those that are just riding along the waves. So for now me being fooled I cannot accept because I myself can decipher who is who from amonst themselves is hiding something.

After CJ's impeachment, one man/woman will replace his position and I'm sure that it's going to somebody who has strong ties with the President. AHEM! I have been observing to how Noynoy just automatically terminates and appoints officials. All of the terminated ones were his opponents and those who were appointed were his "friends." We should have voted "Aquino's team" right from the start of that's the case. I love the idea that he's into eradicating corruption, but it should have been better if he'll concentrate in solving other important problems than just blaming the previous government. I once voted for him and I regret it. P.S. I'm not a Corona fan. :) I just don't like how the justice have been served recently.

Well, the government has tasted money and power. What do you expect they'll do? Of course they'll try to get more. That's how things became when people stopped caring for what's really important anymore. Whether Corona is guilty or not, it is very clear that we are still far from the positive change since not only should the government change, it's people and the Filipino citizens should too--and this is very difficult considering our unhealthy traditions and bad habits.

Yeah we could have been fooled, but we elected them didn't we?, now let's go blame all the unintelligent voters that placed them into office, that for me my friend is one of the down side of democracy or a democratic process, don't worry we also have the power of the vote to remove them so all of us vote wisely nest time, unlike in other countries hehe at least we have a little advantage if you may call it that.

I'm sorry... being fooled? not by the senators! we are fooled by corrupt government officials!
