Removal of Philippine chief justice from office

Renato Corona, the 23rd chief justice of the Supreme Court of the Philippines, was impeached on December 12, 2011. Corona was the third official, after former PresidentJoseph Estrada in 2000 and OmbudsmanMerceditas Gutierrez in March 2011, to be impeached by the House of Representatives.

Chief Justice Puno and Associate Justices Corona and Antonio Carpio abstained from ruling on the case. The court then ordered the Judicial and Bar Council (JBC) to proceed with its nomination process and subsequently submit its shortlist of nominees for the Chief Justice to Arroyo.
