SC employees set another pro-Corona action Monday
To once again show support to impeached Chief Justice Renato Corona, employees of the Supreme Court are set to hold another protest action on Monday — this time by wearing red instead of black.
“We chose red to show that we are extra-vigilant and fully supportive of our chief magistrate who is facing an impeachment trial at the Senate,” said Jojo Guerrero, president of the SC Employees Association (SCEA) on Sunday.
Guerrero said red “symbolizes courage and bravery to continue the fight for judicial independence.”
Supreme Court employees went on a “Black Monday” protest last Jan. 16, the first day of Corona’s trial at the Senate, which is sitting as the impeachment court.
On Monday, SCEA and Solidarity 4 Sovereignty would again hold novena Masses at 4:30 p.m. and would again run for nine days.
Guerrero assured the public that their work would not be halted or affected by their action. This, he said, was precisely why they opted to schedule their activities in the afternoon after office hours.
There are about 3,000 SCEA members in the SC, while there are over 27,000 court employees all over the country.
Corona has been accused of, among others, being partial to former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and of amassing ill-gotten wealth while he is in the Supreme Court. — KBK, GMA News
