Maguindanao massacre, Marcos plunder tan GMA bail: Walay baleg ya probliman talaga ed Philippine justice system

Kasumpal na SONA nen PNoy ya maliket iray totoo na gobierno ed saya, diad ontumbok ya agew say bad news et akapaway lay matakew ya si Gloria Macapagal Arroyo lapud nanbayar ya P 1 milyon ya pisos parad bail.

Kasumpal na 26 taon ya nanari iray Marcos anggapo ni anggad sakey ed sikara so nikolong ed ginawan sangkabalgan ya panagtakew ed kuartay gobierno.

Sayay Maguindanao massacre met et taluran taon la so apalabas anggapo ni so disisyon na korti. Dakel ed saray tasi et pinapatey daray totoo daray Ampatuan.

The delay in the delivery of justice has spawned a culture of impunity that makes a mockery of justice with corrupt politicians, notorious criminals and petty snatchers flaunting their invincibility and immunity from prosecution and persecution.

The Philippine judicial system is the most corrupt of all branches in Philippine bureaucracy where one can buy justice, delay justice, suspend justice or deny justice.

Is the GMA bail the portent to come from the unceremonious dismissal from office of the corrupt Supreme Court chief justice Corona in which the forces hurt by that removal, the majority of the judges and staff of the Philippine judiciary, are allying with elements associated with GMA forced out of power?

Or is it merely a reflection of the incompetence of the prosecution as well as the venality of the judge who is holding the case?

The delaying tactic of the defendant in the Maguindanao massacre abetted and allowed by judicial procedure of "due process", which is synonymous to "delay" through the submission of petition to the higher court other than the court deciding the case is prolonging the delivery of fair and equitable justice. Another factor is the competence or incompetence of the judge handling the case. Why it is allowed by Philippine jurisprudence shows how justice is being perverted to satisfy the whims of the rich and the powerful. The commission of a crime is easy, so its prosecution must be swift but fair.

The court handling the case must only be the sole arbiter of the issues of the case disallowing at the very first instance petitions to higher courts. Only when the case has been resolved that the case can be elevated to higher courts for appeal.

If the Maguindanao massacre case will take three more years to reach its verdict, then there is no hope in Philippine judicial system. It is hopeless. The better way to do is to abolish the courts and let the rule of the jungle!

The only means to restore the credibility of Philippine judicial system  is to speed up the process by making a deadline for the resolution of each case, which is within six months to one year.

Corollary to this is the training of the prosecution for fool-proof evidence beginning with NBI and Police investigators down to government lawyers.

CHA-CHA through CON-CON labat

No to Charter Change by Constitutional Assembly!

No Con-Ass, iray pulitiko labat so nayarin mansalat na probisiyon na ley. Siempri say intiris da so manari imbis ya kanepegan na baley.

Charter Change should be done immediately by Constitutional Convention.

The elected representatives, unbiased, young and visionaries, must be the ones to constitute the group that will entirely revise the constitution.

Bernas, the self-appointed constitutionalist, does not want a CON-CON because it will destroy an outdated, American-influenced document, that maintained and promoted a highly centralized form of government neglecting the varying political and economic landscapes in the country, now wallowing in utter dependence to Manila, which had grown leaps and bounds by plundering the countryside to build the metropolis.

Akin kaokolan so CHA-CHA?

Pian nasalatan so politikal ya pamaakaran manlapud presidential manmaliw ya parliamentary odino sakey ya institusiyon ya nibasi ed sakey ya indigenous odino gendat ya pamaakaran.

Pian nasalatan so politikal ya pamaakaran manlapud unitary manmaliw ya federal, mangiter na uley ed saray rehiyon ya paaliguasen day luga-lugar dan miampar ed kabaleg tan kayaman na Manila. Ed arum ya salita, ondakel iray siyudad ya angkakabaleg ya atayak ed intiron Pilipinas.

Aliwa labat lapud kaokolan ya salatan so 60-40 ya economic provision na ley.

Kaokolan ya nitandoro so kapolopoloan ya walna na baley ya nisaral ed sakey ya maksil ya uley ed panagmegley na maksil ya nabiyo.

Patikeyen met so ley lapud andukerukey.

Itagey met so kuwalipikasyon daray onbabatik ya opisyal lautlad barangay, munisipiyo, luyag, rehiyon, panbansa ya kaokolan ya college graduate.

The political leadership should be based on meritocracy (utek), not on plutocracy (ed yaman labat) neither most especially on degeneracy (ed inkakapoy).

Yes to CHA-CHA but only through CON-CON!

Say trahidiya ya tatawagen ya ASEAN ed dalem na Cambodia (The tragedy called ASEAN under Cambodia)

Say Association of Southeast Asian Nation (ASEAN) ya nigapo nen 1967 no agak nalilingo et sakey labat ya upot-oras, gastos na kuwarta daray diplomat ya manisian makatulong ed politika, tan ikonomiya daray bansan Pilipinas, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam, Burma,  tan Brunei. Labay na East Timor so onloob.

During the advent of Burma's military rule in which severe human rights violations were occurring, ASEAN refused to tackle it as a group as if it was condoning it in the principle of non-intervention in domestic affairs. It is plain and simple lack of mettle to discipline erring members. It is pure uselessness.

Better dissolve the ASEAN if it cannot unite itself over one issue: to stand pat with one's member (i.e. Vietnam, the Philippines) against the bullying of China.

Natan, what can we expect from Cambodia, a long-time ally of China, during the long and bloody years of the Khmer Rouge, which was responsible for the genocide of millions of Cambodians?

The arm-twisting must have been done.

Say ASEAN et anggapoy kakanaan to no ag to sarag ya ilaban so  kanepegan na rehiun.

The code of conduct is not a diplomatic communique that will only benefit the Philippines or Vietnam; it involves the whole region whose lifeblood for all the centuries of its civilization has been the South Seas.

If ASEAN cannot get its act together against China's outright and illegal claim of the entire sea encroaching on territories such as Scarborough shoal and Paracel islands, which in principle is contrary to the spirit of UNCLOS, what is it for?

And there has been talks for ASEAN common currency. What for?

ASEAN should not be held hostage by any superpower who is thinking of using it for its own interests.

If ASEAN does not issue the code of conduct for all the members to follow, whose interest is it serving?

The code of conduct could have been a show of unity among ASEAN members that they cannot kowtow to the vested interest of China. It is bigger than China itself who is thinking that it can bambozzle members through a bilateral tete-a-tete. It is bigger because it involves not only the peace, security and stability of ASEAN and East Asia but the whole of Asia and the Pacific.

The failure of the talks shows clearly how very limited the regional consciousness and identity of ASEAN member-countries.

As citizen of ASEAN, I vote for its abolition and dissolution but in its place the formation of the CASEAN, ASEAN under China.

No nagawa tan, ta nagagawa la sirin natan, CASEAN na arum ya bansa so Pilipinas tan Vietnam. Balet andi, kaokolan ya italendeg na Pilipinas so dili ton interes ya anggapoy mibabalin manmandomando.

The stupidity of Chiz Escudero or why is he unfit to be senator at the least?

Nen Hunio 24, pinmaway so balita ya say kuanen Chiz nipaakar ed Scarborough shoal et: "We should not pressure ourselves into resolving the issue within the year or next year or within the term of the President."

San kuanto ni: "It should not have been made more complicated than it is. We are already asking China to leave the area, but what if it orders us to leave?  What will happen then? I believe that the issue will be resolved by the next generation when both sides that have more broader mind-sets have lightened up."

So what is this dumb senator asking, that we surrender our right to Scarborough? Does it matter to us if China "orders" us to vacate? Then, all the more that we must not and all the more that we assert our right by "ordering" China to back off from our territory.

What our politicians lack is the nerve to be assertive. And it goes down to our newspapers, which are becoming mouthpieces of China, instead of voicing the sentiment of the majority that is surely to promote and assert our national interest.

Abayag lan anggapoy amor kod si Escudero. Anggapoy liknaan kon sarag ton igiya so bansa. No saya la et ipanengneng to la ya aso sikato na China, panon to no akairong lad Malacanang?

Say kuanto ni:

"We have more urgent things to spend our time on than Panatag where we are at a disadvantage. Things will work out in time. We should not let it go but we should also not force the issue. We should not leave it but we should not also rush in resolving it."

What can we say about his advice? He is simply saying: "We must not press our claim. Let the status quo. Let China bully us. And in that way resolution is at hand."

Satan so inkamureng nen Chiz Escudero.
