MANILA, Philippines—An appointee of President Benigno Aquino III to the Supreme Court sponsored Thursday’s Mass at the Supreme Court in support of impeached Chief Justice Renato Corona.
The Mass was the 14th to be held at the Supreme Court grounds since the defense team started presenting evidence in the impeachment trial of the Chief Justice. The impeachment trial has been suspended for over a month; it will resume on May 7, 2012.
Associate Justice Bienvenido Reyes, who sponsored Thursday’s Mass, is one of Aquino’s three appointees to the high tribunal. The two others are Justice Ma. Lourdes Sereno and Justice Estela Perlas Bernabe.
Fr. Boogee Tacdoro of the Society of Saint Paul told the Chief Justice that “with the challenges he is facing in his life, he must continue to hold on to his faith like Abraham.”
