Filosofo Tasio Lives
Despite the declaration of Malacanang that it is not fighting the judicial branch of government, two sepaerate l/2 paid advertisements from judges and the judiciary came out in leading daily manifesting support for the Chief Justice. It is expected that in this country, majority rules; plebiscite or petitions can sway judgements and facts. (Like an opinion when repeated so often becomes a fact?)
Whatever is the outcome of this crisis, this blog wishes that: l. dispensation of justice shall be faster, 2. that Eraps accusation vs criminals in robes is not true; 3. that there will be more maturity in handling difficulties by the executive branch with the judiciary.
They often say, you cant fight City Hall. Well, the executive branch thinks it can slug it out with the judiciary. A mature president, using Sun Tzu strategem, would have used the alliance of the judiciary in some other subtle way to get what he wants. Well, this needs political savvy and maturity. We are not war, and obviously, force is sometimes applied in handling this conflict.
They say that if you are an opposition in Congress, sooner or later, you will have to side with the majority/administration because the executive, DBM has the control over the budget and disbursement of the CDF. But the current tactics are less than subtle and subdued.
