The Supreme Court on Dec 7 struck down as unconstitutional a Truth Commission created by President Aquino to investigate the reports of corruption committed by
officials of the previous administration. The 10-5 decision was a major blow to Mr. Aquino, who made it his priority to prosecute his predecessor, former President Gloria
Arroyo, and her officials on corruption charges. Supreme Court spokeswoman Gleo Guerra said a majority of the justices voted against the Truth Commission because
the Constitution did not allow the government to establish agencies to investigate just one group of people.
Isn't it fantastic when they all agree on something!!!
