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.
