Corona dares Ombudsman to resign

Chief Justice Renato Corona sought the resignation of Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales, after alleging she allowed herself to be used by Malacañang. Corona branded as an outright lie her testimony that he had US$12-M in dollar accounts. He countered that he only had $2.4-M and only P80-M in peso deposits. In his 2010 Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth, Corona declared P4.5-M in cash and investments. Morales for her part charged Corona with being a “certified liar.” She said she would not resign and let people judge who is telling the truth. She also said that having worked with him for 9 years, Corona should know that she could not be used by anyone.
