Corona will appear at Senate trial Friday

MANILA, Philippines—Chief Justice Renato Corona, together with his doctor, will appear at the impeachment trial on Friday.
This is what lead defense lawyer Serafin Cuevas told reporters at The Medical City hospital in Pasig City when asked if Corona will continue his testimony.
Cuevas had just visited Corona when reporters approached him.
He said Corona was “incoherent” and hooked up to a dextrose intravenous drip.
Despite this, Cuevas said, the chief justice will be present at the trial on Friday.
Son confirms
The Chief Justice’s son, musician Francis “Frank” Corona, confirmed the conversation between his father and Cuevas.
“Whatever Justice Cuevas said is what my father said to him,” Francis said in a text message to INQUIRER.net.
However, contrary to what Cuevas earlier said of Corona being “incoherent,” Francis said his father is in a stable condition.
“He is getting better already.”
