Where is Justice in the Philippines?

I am watching the breaking news about the decision of the Supreme Court to acquit convicted murderers Hubert Webb, Antonio Lejano, Michael Gatchalian, Pyke Fernandez, Miguel Rodriguez, Peter Estrada and Gerardo Biong in the Vizconde massacre case.

This is really breaking. My heart breaks after seeing Mr. Lauro Vizconde. All of a sudden, i felt so bad, so hurt and so hopeless for him. I had a flashback of the news bout the massacre in 1991. I can never ever imagine how painful it would be for Mr. Vizconde. AND, i can never ever imagine how more devastating it is for him today!

Is there really justice in the Philippines? After all the witnesses, what went wrong? Is it the situation wherein technology overrules the attestation of the people who knew about the heinous crime? I'm sure of one thing though... Justice in the Philippines is still elusive and has a price! And I bet that it is overpriced this time.

When things like this happen, do we still have to rely on our justice system? or should we put justice on our hands? Sad to say, i don't believe in our judiciary anymore. It sucks! The magistrates are crap! I believe that the best option for Filipinos would be the Law of Retaliation or the principle of "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!" I regard it simply as the act of revenge without government rules. For me, this is better. You can get your own revenge without waiting for decades and this is more satisfying! This is cost-effective too.

I'm still broken. I still can't accept it. Anywayz, Welcome boys! Beware Filipino people...Here they come!
