A representative of the Philippine Savings Bank has been allowed to testify at the impeachment trial of Chief Justice Renato Corona despite pending petitions filed against it before the Supreme Court.
Pascual Garcia III, president of PSBank branch in Katipunan, Quezon City, took the witness stand on Wednesday despite objection raised by Corona’s lead counsel, former Supreme Court Justice Serafin Cuevas.
“The issue relative to these bank deposits is now under question your honor. With apology and with indulgence of this honorable court, we went on certiorari before the Supreme Court raising this particular matter as an issue on our claim for grave abuse of discretion ..†said Cuevas when chief prosecutor, Iloilo Representative Niel Tupas III called the witness.
