Loss of belief in the justice system

It is more fun criticizing

A sportsmate returned from his hibernation in Baguio yesterday.  I visited him early this morning

He complained his current status of his pending case.

He was a union leader and claimed he was illegally dismissed and his group filed a case of illegal
dismissal vs the employer.  On the other hand, the employer alleged it is all ready bankrupt and could not pay.  They escaped by establishing a new corporation  but the office and officer were the same

They were given a judgement to sell off properties.  Hence they broke into the warehouse of the alleged employer.  They had SWAT team and sheriff with them.  However a case of theft and malicious mischief was filed against them (nabaligtad na) and which merited imprisonment.

He opted for probation being a senior;  however getting the paperworks was tedious.  His companions who fought back vs the case, had a case dismissal.  His probation of only 5 days is far from finished.

He says that the justice system is not working   Just like in the movies, he says that justice system only works for those who can afford good lawyers.  It is no joke to have a lawyer appear for you!

He can only have a consolation, that the former head of the company he worked in died a painful death, and suffered long.  There is Divine Justice at work.

Amen
