I have been watching intently the impeachment proceedings on television and I could not help but admire the legal acumen of Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile. He exudes an authority that is beyond question and an aura of unparalleled political and legal experience.
Truth to tell, I had the opportunity to exchange pleasantries with him in several fora and debates when I ran for the Senate last 2010. He was sharp with his thoughts and had a thorough understanding of the issues of the day. Because both of us hail from Cagayan province, we usually conversed in our dialect, Ibanag.
From the looks of it, it appears that with Senator Enrile at the helm of the Senate, the outcome of the impeachment proceedings would be just and impartial.
I wish the good senator all the luck and good health.
