According to John Rawls : Justice is the first virtue of social institutions, as truth is of the systems of thought.
Lady Justice a blindfolded woman carrying a scale as the symbol of justice.
Justice is blindfolded to show that she is not prejudiced. She holds a scale so that she can weigh the facts presented by one side against the facts provided by the other side.
Here in our country , crimes are very mush rampant as well as the anomalies being acted and done. The Justice System here in our country is a big help to every Filipinos.It is administered by the rightful judges who has the power to decide rightful decisions under the law for the good of all and there mission is to provide legal justice to secure every Filipinos from being injustice.
Its rude for you to think that I'm not going to put my hundred percent "YES" that the justice here in our country is very much accurate in giving precise decisions. Our country is in rescue!!! I believe that justice here in country is influenced by the powerful politicians. The dysfunctional justice here in the Philippines is such a big issue for us to be aware of.
Think again about the Maguindanao Massacre. The journalist were brutally killed. What an immoral act!!! And also the VIzconde Massacre for almost 15 years of seeking the truth behind the killings until now they still looking for the proof that Hubbert Webb is the mastermind from that massacre. Last year our country faced the very worst hostage taking that Filipinos witnessed. Hong Kong nationals were being hostage and some were killed. That issue was boom not only in the entire Philippines but also in its neighboring countries specifically in the Hong Kong.
The corrupt practices, stolen wealth of our country , crimes and murder, rape and other issue which involves justice are some of the country's premise which is until now we are still searching for the truth and justice. Some say justice for rich person .. it is because they have lots of money to pay the lawyer..
How about those persons who don't have the capacity to pay or they don't have enough money to pay!? Justice is for fairness. Greedy lawyers who always thinks for money ignore those people who is asking for justice. And maybe those who are in uniform are drug lords who sells shabu and cocaine with millions and millions in price. Where is the justice we ask!? The justice we seek?
Because of injustice, we Filipinos suffer from poverty(until now). Think of our nation just for once. And try to reflect.What will be the future of the Filipino people if those persons who has the power are deaf
and blind from the truth presented to them?!
All i can say is that "Justice in our country is P-O-O-R and S-L-O-W ...(sad to think) ='(
Perhaps , there is a H-O-P-E for us to achieve this justice. We should listen and be vigilant and observant from the happenings which surrounds us..
JUSTICE IS FOR ALL .. even for rich and poor.!
