Here are the highlights from Day 36 of the impeachment trial of Chief Justice Renato Corona.

Meanwhile, the defense panel has asked Senator Edgardo Angara to inhibit from the trial, citing his son Congressman “Sonny” Angara and recently-funded government projects in the Angaras’ home province of Quirino as reasons for him to inhibit. 

Also on Monday, the prosecution continued the cross-examination of a defense witness and presented two copies of a check that was allegedly issued to buy the Basa-Guidote Enterprises Inc (BGEI) lot in Sampaloc Manila.
