Register of Deeds exec next to take witness stand

MANILA, Philippines—An official from the  Register of  Deeds of Marikina City   has been called  by the prosecution team  to testify  in the impeachment  of trial of  Supreme Court Chief Justice  Renato  Corona.

But before the prosecutors could  even identify  the  third  witness and administer his oath, the Senate acting  as an impeachment court,  decided to  adjourn  the  proceeding. It will resume at 2 p.m. on Thursday.

Two witnesses—Supreme Court Clerk of Court  Enriquetta  Esguerra-Vidal and  Marianito Dimaandal, head of Malacañang Records Office—already testified for the  prosecution  in relation to Corona’s alleged failure to  disclose his statement of assets, liabilities and net worth.
