AS part of gimmick and publicity in the impeachment trial, the prosecution and the defense teams have emerged with an acronym of the senator-judges of whom they think leaning to the other side of the fence.
The first acronym that came out is DOG which means Drilon, Osmena and Guingona, the senators known as loyal allies of the President and belonged to the group that pushed the impeachment trial against Chief Justice Renato Corona.
When the DOG came out, the prosecution team also made an acronym for the defense team dubbed ASSHOLE which stand for Arroyo, Santiago, Sotto, Honasan, Loren and Escudero.
These senators believed to be leaning to the defense team and who voted in favor of the Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) issued by the Supreme Court.
These two acronyms now have been the topic of Senate personnel and media men covering the beat.
Meanwhile, social networking site of Twitter account of Atty. Jude Roy of the defense has served as viral due to the emailed twit spread to the media that blatantly attacks the prosecution team and senators who is being called as moron and idiot.
Twitter account Dean One1ron is allegedly owned by Atty. Roy.
Roy immediately denied that he owns the said twitter. He said such accusation is part of demolition job against the defense team.
At the No Holds Barred Forum in National Press Club, defense spokesman Atty. Karen Jimeno said Atty. Roy could not do such things because they have a big respect with senator-judges.
