The Price of Truth and Justice

~ excerpt from my May 25, 2007 post in my other blog..

They say only 10% (more or less) of the human brain is being used. human memory is also sometimes unreliable. no wonder most of us have forgotten the past. There are those who still doubt whether there has been cheating in the midterm election. Others say these are mere baseless allegations.

I am one of those who think that in this country, truth and justice can be bought unless certain sacrifices are made. putting the witnesses in the open is one way of accompanying them and their whole family to the grave. Presenting evidences like the "hello garci" tapes is technically inadmissible (even if it involves a national scam). Truth and justice have a price that is unaffordable for those who were pointed a gun at their heads while being forced to fill up the ballots, or for those innocent children who were instructed to placed their thumb marks at those forged ballots.

For the record, complaints are already filed and the comelec promised to look on to it.

Lets just pray that this will not be another case of Poe v. Macapagal-Arroyo where technicality concealed the truth and justice was never afforded. The 2004 ballots were never recounted, despite the evidences, just because the petitioner, FPJ, died while the said petition was ongoing. Justice was denied not only to FPJ but to the Filipino people.
