MANILA, Philippines -- Chief Justice Renato Corona did not leave the Senate impeachment court at the end of an almost three-hour speech. He was not done talking yet.

News5's Marlene Alcaide reported Thursday that Corona's wife, Cristina, said he was not able to finish his statement because he really felt dizzy, weak and faint.

Ms. Corona said her husband was still about to address the issues of the Supreme Court decision on the case of the Flight Attendants' and Stewards' Association of the Philippines and the temporary restraining order the tribunal issued against former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo's inclusion on the government's travel watch-list but had to stop because he was not feeling well.
