    This is another case of unreasonable delay in the disposition of criminal case covering a period of 11 years and 23 days from the time that the accused Jayson Cruz y Teczon was arrested by the police authorities […]

    • Nothing is new in the Philippines, when it comes to trials of cases. It can go for more than a decade or two decades before this could be finally decided upon.

      Sometimes, the accused has already gotten sick and eventually died in jail , when finally he is proven to be not the true culprit.

      Sad, but this is how our justice system here in the Philippines. I think, even with President Duterte’s term nothing can be done to shorten the trials. 🙁

      • Hi Dina,

        You are absolutely right 100%. That’s the reason why I’m highlighting and reporting here all the criminal cases in our country that took for a long time to be finally resolved.

        Many in our country do not know this and I doubt if the Supreme Court is publishing any case statistics as to the rate of its disposition.

        It is disheartening that despite the constitutional rights of the accused to a speedy trial provided for under the constitution, the wheels of justice in our criminal justice system grinds far too slow.

        You will notice that most of the acquittal pertains to drugs cases which have a logical explanation that all along that those accused of drug cases are mere victims of police frame-up and mostly comes from the poor sector of the Philippine society.

        Many people in our country does not know the real statistics of all the aging cases in the criminal docket throughout the whole court from the Municipal Trial Court, Municipal Circuit Trial Court, City Court, The Regional Trial Court, The Court of Appeal up to the Supreme Court.

        There is only one way to ease up and to de clogged all these cases, whether civil or criminal or otherwise, and that is for our court to function like a factory with three shift working round the clock 24 hours a day.

        I see no other practical remedy than this set up although it will involve great logistical nightmares: budget, additional judges and prosecutors, additional forensic chemists to testify in court, plus the availability of the police officers to testify in court, the availability of the defense counsel etc.

        I think that the Supreme Court must do more other than conducting a case inventory every 3 or 6 months or so for every court in our country.

        With regards to criminal cases, especially in the Regional Trial Court, almost 70% of the criminal cases set for a given date for hearing involved drug cases. And this situation is true throughout the Philippines.

        Thank you again for your comment.

    • Very well said my friend.

      I think God was saying “Forgive them for they do not know what they are doing” to all those who were part of those crowd and those who did the act of crucifying him and yes, Peter, for having denied him 3 times.

      Though, it is said that it is easy to forgive but hard to forget and this one is very true. It sums up to one thing, we haven’t actually forgiven the doer of whatever wronged us.

    • We are all meant to forgive because we are all forgiven once we have repented. Forgiveness is not about making someone or ourselves feel better, it is about reconciling and embracing love. In order to love we must be open and willing to forgive. Forgiveness get rid of hatred and calls us to love. As we are forgiven so too we must forgive others. Forgive just as our heavenly Father has forgiven us.

    • And why was the passenger forcibly evicted from his seat? Did he do anything wrong?

      If that is answerable by a no , then the passenger has every right to sue the company for the undue rudeness and discrimination of its employees.

      I think anyone should have a due process even in the eviction of a passenger. He should be given the chance to defend or explain himself.
