Justice for the rich; just-tiis for the poor

The capture of renegade soldier and former senator Gringo Honasan has opened my eyes to the stark reality of the country's justice system. Well, it's not so much the justice system of the country that should be blamed but rather the people running the justice system. And I mean not just the judiciary but the whole three branches of the government---executive and legislative included.

If you were glued on your television sets last week when Gringo was cornered inside the house of his lady-friend, the authorities immediately brought him and his driver to the CIDG headquarters. Honasan was slightly injured so he was immediately brought for medical check up and possibel surgery. Sad to say, this was a luxury for his driver-bodyguard who was almost half awake when interviewed by reporters.

Honasan's driver was apparently suffering from high blood pressure as a result of the commotion during the arrest. However, he was small fry and not rich and famous enough like Honasan so there he was, handcuffed to the grills and looking like he was ready to pass out while the "AMO" he so loyally served for years was humanly treated by the CIDG.

Moral of the story: If you are rich then go ahead commit any crime you want; anyway, you will still be treated humanely even if you get caught. But if you are poor, BEWARE! Justice is not for you!
