Events

Marcos impeachment attempt

On August 13, 1985, 56 assemblymen signed a resolution calling for the impeachment of President Marcos for graft and corruption, culpable violation of the Constitution, gross violation of his oath of office and other high crimes.They cited the San Jose Mercury News exposé of the Marcoses’ multimillion-dollar investment and property holdings in the United States.NEWS,www.inquirer.net/specialfeatures/edsa20/view.php?db=1&article=20110226-322279, How we kept faith with Edsa in US, Heherson T.

It does not allege ultimate facts constituting an impeachable offense under the Constitution.In sum, the Committee finds that the complaint is not sufficient in form and substance to warrant its further consideration. It is not sufficient in form because the verification made by the affiants that the allegations in the resolution “are true and correct of our own knowledge” is transparently false. It taxes the ken of men to believe that the affiants individually could swear to the truth of allegations, relative to the transactions that allegedly transpired in foreign countries given the barrier of geography and the restrictions of their laws. More important, the resolution cannot be sufficient in substance because its careful assay shows that it is a mere charade of conclusions.QUOTE, April 2012,

The People Power Revolution

The People Power Revolution from February 22–25, 1986 was a series of mostly nonviolent mass demonstrations in the Metro Manila area. The peaceful protests were held after a call by Cardinal Jaime Sin, Archbishop of Manila, for civilian support of rebels, and this led to the fall of Marcos’ regime and the installation of Corazon Aquino as president.
