Patrol on defense, prosecution panels

MANILA, Philippines - Trying to score off each other in Chief Justice Renato Corona’s impeachment trial are his defense team made up with veteran lawyers and a retired justice, and the prosecution composed of young congressmen. Outside the court bubble, how does each team prepare before attending each hearing?

Tonight on ABS-CBN’s Patrol ng Pilipino, meet the members of the defense and the prosecution teams as Jing Castañeda (photo) unveils how both intend to perform their tasks in the hearing. 

Jing will interview lawyers Tranquil Salvador and Jose Roy of Corona’s defense team, and Representatives Neri Colmenares, Erin Tañada and Niel Tupas of the prosecution panel. Also get a glimpse of what happens during and behind their press conferences.

Jing stressed the role of the media in the developments of the trial, which she compares to an unruly reality show that has no script.

Meanwhile, join Jacque Manabat as she takes you to a three-hour travel with farmers on the newly-improved tramline in Sariaya, Quezon. Due to the installation of the cable cars, the 45-minute trek of farmers from their farms to the province’s business center is cut short.

Patrol ng Pilipino airs after Bandila on ABS-CBN, or watch it earlier on DZMM TeleRadyo (SkyCable Channel 26) at 9:15 p.m.
