my republic

former Philippine President Joseph Ejercito Estrada was found guilty of plunder.





i didn't get to hear the clerk of court when she read the highlights of the sandiganbayan decision as i was giving my five year old nephew a bath.

***

i was able to catch prosecutor dennis villaignacio say that the decision of the special court is triumph not just for the prosecution, but also for the filipino people as this shows that the philippine justice system is working.

i'm at a loss for words.

erap is found guilty. but there are so many others who are as guilty and they are still in power in this banana republic.

(wait, my phone's ringing. "hello garci?, oh, the ZTE contract? wait, i'm finishing my blog entry.")

philippine politics is sick. it's sickening.

maybe the justice system is working.

for some. sometimes.

but not for all, not all the time.

aargh. seryoso na naman. tawa muna tayo:
