Corona lied about academic honors?

Corona lied about academic honors?

"x x x.


MANILA, Philippines - Did Chief Justice Renato Corona embellish his academic achievements brandished on the website of the Supreme Court (SC) before it was altered just a few days ago?
Given some inconsistencies with records seen by Rappler, he might have been, at the very least, negligent or had allowed false claims to be made about him. At the most, he himself could have misrepresented his own achievements.
In his own resumé which he submitted to Malacañang in 1992, when he wasassistant executive secretary for legal affairs of then President Fidel V Ramos, Corona said he finished grade school to law school in the Ateneo with honors.
He made the same claims on the SC website as of March 9, 2012.
Corona claimed too, in his resumé that he earned his Bachelor of Laws degree “with honors as no. 5 in the class of 44 members.” There were 44 students in his batch.
He likewise said he finished his Bachelor of Arts course “with academic honors.”
Corona wrote in his resumé that he graduated from high school with “silver medal graduation honors,” and “gold medal graduation honors” in grade school.
Our investigation shows these are not true
