Duterte’s entire war on drugs was set up to protect big-time drug lords. What makes it more appalling is that the whole machinery of the state, that is supposedly there to protect the Filipino people, is being exploited to allow an entire illegal drugs business to flourish at the expense of poor drug suspects who do not have the means to defend themselves, much less leave the country.
Matagal na palang may leads tungkol sa mga ilegal na aktibidad nitong si Guia Gomez Castro pero bakit hinayaan parin siyang makalabas ng bansa. Ang layo sa mga mahihirap na drug suspects na hindi pa man nakakahakbang palabas ng kanilang bahay ay binabaril na at pinapatay na. Wala silang pagkakataon upang ipagtanggol ang kanilang mga sarili pero itong mga katulad ni Peter Lim at Castro ay tila protektado ng mga nasa kapangyarihan.
The timing of the flight of this alleged drug queen is also questionable as it was in the middle of the GCTA anomalies, and the drug recycling and ninja cop exposé. Sadya bang pinatakas dahil marami ring nalalaman si Castro tungkol sa mga ninja police officers na ito at ang kanilang mga protektor? Sadya din bang pinaputok ang isyu upang mailihis sa usapin ng maanomalyang pag-gamit ng GCTA ng mga tiwaling opisyal katulad ni Faeldon?
Flight will always be associated with guilt. When one is innocent, he or she is fearless to confront the accusations against him or her.
Today is my 945th day in detention. Halos tatlong taon na akong nakakulong sa mga gawa-gawang kaso. Mahirap at walang kasing sakit ang makulong ng walang kasalanan.
It is not easy to prove that you are innocent if you are up against an entire system hell-bent on protecting the likes of Peter Lim na patuloy na nakakalaya. Pero kapag inosente ka, hindi ka mauubusan ng ipaglalaban, at habang lumalaban ka, patuloy ding malalantad ang bawat katiwalian na bumabaluktot sa hustisya sa ating bayan. Hinarap ko ang mga kasong ipinaparatang sa akin dahil ako ay inosente, at patuloy ko itong haharapin ano man ang mangyari. ###
