Senator Ramon Revilla accused President Benigno Aquino of personally pleading him to vote for the impeachment of former Supreme Court Chief of Staff Renato Corona in 2012.
Revilla quoted Aquino as saying, in a breakfast meeting at the President’s residence in Malacanang, “Please do me a favour. He (Corona ) must be impeached.”
The breakfast took place after Revilla and Secretary Mar Roxas "boy pick up" drove from the latter’s house in Cubao, suburban Quezon City to the presidential palace.
The senator said he had kept to himself, for almost two years, the story of Aquino’s “intervention” in an impeachment trial that was “supposed to be legal and independent”.
Watch his privilege speach above.
