Enrile, Corona spokesman eyed as House private prosecutors in Sereno trial

A FORMER senator and legal luminary and the spokesman of the late Renato Corona, the first chief justice to be impeached and convicted, are being eyed by the House of Representatives to serve as its private prosecutors if the case of Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno is elevated to the Senate for trial.

Rep. Reynaldo Umali of Oriental Mindoro, chairman of the House justice committee, said on radio that former Sen. Juan Ponce Enrile, lawyer Tranquil Salvador 3^rd, and one Biboy Malaya were being eyed to aid the House lawmakers who would form part of the prosecution team that would present the Articles of Impeachment before the Senate, which will sit as an impeachment court.
