The 70-year old Vicente is not in the best of health having suffered two strokes and Marikina is quite a distance from the Senate in Pasay City.
But he should have used his personal car, not the vehicle belonging to the Supreme Court,
Solar News reporter Albert Alicer and his crew caught on video Vicente riding in a beige Toyota Camry 1996 model with a red plate SEJ.953 after the impeachment hearings Tuesday evening. The vehicle turned out to be registered with the Supreme Court.
Inquirer apologizes to Vicente for the series of photos of him that they used in their Wednesday issue.

Solar News video clips showed Vicente inside the beige Toyota Camry 1996 model with a red plate numbered SEJ.953. A red plate means it’s a government vehicle.
Solar News reporter Albert Alicer and his crew took the video of the vehicle as it was leaving the Senate premises.
I, myself, got dizzy trying to understand the somewhat disorganized business transaction between him and Maria Cristina Corona, wife of Chief Justice Renato Corona. I gave up when Presiding Judge Juan Ponce-Enrile asked him about tax declarations and Vicente replied, “I don’t know.”
To be fair, Vicente seemed sincere. Even guileless. And trusting.
It would be unfair to accuse him of knowingly acting as the Corona’s dummy. Maybe,taken advantaged of.
Vicente, second cousin of Corona, was testifying on his purchase of seven-parcels of land from Corona’s wife, Maria Cristina and her sister Miriam.
