MANILA, Philippines ? The Philippine Senate has begun an impeachment trial of the Supreme Court chief justice, who has been accused of corruption and blocking the prosecution of detained former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.
Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile promised Monday an impartial and fair trial for Chief Justice Renato Corona. Corona was impeached by the House of Representatives last month on allegations that include a bias for Arroyo, who has been detained on electoral fraud charges.
Corona is attending the trial. He earlier declared in a speech before Supreme Court employees that he would fight to prove his innocence and defend the court's independence.
