“STATEMENT OF CORAZON JULIANO SOLIMAN, August 30, 2005
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, dear friends. The past two
hearings of the Justice Committee of the House of Representatives has
been quite instructive for me as a citizen concerned with the truth and
concerned for the future. I have listened patiently to the debate on the
prejudicial questions, starting with seven and now narrowed down to
two. I have come to realize that procedures and technicalities are quite
important in order to delimit or expand the scope of the impeachment
proceedings at the House of Representatives.
