The Urban Informal Settlers Deliver the Votes; Are Untouchables

Filosofo Tasio Lives

Noli Me Tangere means not to touch.  Well, the other day, I saw garbage floating around near squatter colonies near a waterway.  Well, no one  seems to mind and apply the penalties on solid waste management.  Why, because these voters deliver the winning margins on election.  That is why no one cant touch them.  Or squatters cant be removed from privately owned lands despite duly promulgated court orders.  Noli Me Tangere.  And for this law and order, the rule of law, the rights guaranteed under the constitution remain but words and letters.

Nasaan ang tamang Daan?  Blame the justice system and SC chief?  Will the impeachment change things?
