Chief Justice Renato Corona impeachment trial update, as of 4:30pm January 25, 2012
A 15-minute recess is ongoing.
Before the recess, the impeachment court disputed whether Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) Commissioner Kim Henares should be allowed to testify, because Senators said presentation of financial documents should be enough.
Presiding officer Sen. Juan Ponce Enrile eventually allowed Henares to testify.
Atty. Serafin Cuevas took center stage for the defense, and Atty. Arthur Lim (private prosecutor) spoke for the prosecution. Senator-Judge Miriam Defensor Santiago stole the limelight for a while early in the trial, demanding respect from the defense and prosecutors for Senator-Judges who wish to speak.

"These are very disturbing times. When you impeach the chief justice, those who are against his policies, maybe unrelated to the ongoing controversy, will also seize the opportunity to rise against him. So that becomes an atmosphere of instability."
