Ibinahagi ni Justice Secretary Fredderick Vida ang naging karanasan ng Department of Justice (DOJ) sa pagtanggap ng mga pamilyang naghahanap ng katarungan kaugnay ng mga kasong may kaugnayan sa umano'y extrajudicial killings (EJKs).
Sa panayam sa DZRH SONA 2026 Series, naging emosyonal si Vida habang ikinukuwento ang paglapit ng ilang pamilya ng mga biktima sa DOJ.
"Bukas ang pintuan ng DOJ para sa lahat ng Pilipino."
Ayon kay Vida, nagpapasalamat umano ang ilang pamilya ng mga naging biktima ng war on drugs dahil nabigyan sila ng pagkakataong mailapit ang kanilang mga hinaing sa kagawaran.
Aniya, mahalagang maramdaman ng bawat Pilipino na may institusyong handang makinig at magsagawa ng naaayon sa batas na proseso.
Iginiit ng kalihim na ang DOJ ay nagsisilbi sa lahat ng mamamayan anuman ang kanilang pinanggalingan o paniniwala.
Ayon sa kanya, bahagi ng mandato ng kagawaran ang tiyaking ang bawat reklamong may sapat na batayan ay dumaraan sa wastong imbestigasyon at legal na proseso.
Ang pahayag ni Justice Secretary Fredderick Vida ay nakatuon sa pagbibigay-diin sa papel ng Department of Justice bilang institusyong dapat maging bukas sa lahat ng mamamayan na naghahanap ng legal na remedyo. Sa usapin ng mga alegasyon ng extrajudicial killings, nananatiling mahalaga ang due process, patas na imbestigasyon, at pagsunod sa umiiral na batas upang matukoy ang pananagutan kung may sapat na ebidensya.
Ang mga pahayag ng kalihim ay sumasalamin sa posisyon ng DOJ at hindi pa nangangahulugan ng pinal na paghatol sa anumang indibidwal o kaso na maaaring isinasailalim pa sa imbestigasyon o paglilitis.
"Learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow's cause." — Isaiah 1:17 (ESV)
Sa aklat ng Isaias, nananawagan ang Diyos sa Kanyang bayan na hindi lamang magpakita ng panlabas na relihiyon kundi isabuhay ang katarungan at malasakit sa mga naaapi. Ang tunay na pamumuno at pamamahala ay nakikita sa patas na pagtrato sa bawat tao at sa pagbibigay ng pagkakataon sa lahat na marinig ang kanilang hinaing.
Sa konteksto ng pahayag ni Justice Secretary Vida, ang talata ay nagpapaalala sa kahalagahan ng pagkakaroon ng mga institusyong bukas sa paghahanap ng katarungan habang iginagalang ang due process at ang patas na pagpapatupad ng batas.

After days of tense bicameral deliberations, the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has been granted a ₱529.6 billion budget for 2026, following ₱20.7 billion in reductions linked to previously overpriced construction materials.

Lawmakers say the savings came from applying updated Construction Materials Price Data (CMPD)—a correction that exposed how far declared costs had drifted from actual prices.
On paper, this looks like progress.
Overpricing trimmed.
Budgets adjusted.
Savings declared.
But the Eagle looks beyond the headline.
📖 “Dishonest scales are an abomination to the Lord, but a just weight is His delight.” — Proverbs 11:1
The uncomfortable truth is this:
the savings only appeared after scrutiny.
For years, inflated costs passed through quietly—until Senate review forced recalibration. That alone raises the real question Filipinos should be asking:
If nobody checked, how much would have gone through again?
The approved ₱529.6 billion may now be “cleaner,” but money is only half the story. DPWH remains under public watch for:
Unready projects
Ghost flood-control works
Delays blamed on data gaps
And systems that reward spending speed over readiness
Funds were also reallocated—₱16.52 billion to PhilHealth and ₱4.25 billion to disaster risk reduction—showing that scrutiny can redirect money where it matters most.
Still, the lesson is clear:
Oversight works.
Silence doesn’t.
The Eagle does not oppose infrastructure spending.
Roads, bridges, and flood control save lives.
But every peso approved now carries a warning:
Spend it right—or answer for it later.
