SC Justice Renato Corona used to be Arroyo's Spokesperson and Chief of Staff

And a partisan one at that. Also read the CNN article on the role that he played for Arroyo.

Dean Jorge Bocobo over at Philippine Commentary is very excited over the fact that Justice Corona (of the spouse who signed that manifesto in support of the President fame) is still taking his doctorate in law while already serving on the bench.

OJT.
