Justice that turns blind only when the powerful walk by.

A viral post by former presidential spokesperson Harry Roque hits a nerve:

“Ang hustisya sa atin parang CCTV: laging ‘not recording’ kapag malalaking pangalan ang nakikita.”

For many Filipinos, this isn’t just humor — it’s an uncomfortable truth.

In recent months, the nation witnessed how investigations stall, evidence disappears, and outrage dies the moment the accused is close to power. Billions vanish in flood control projects. Committees hide reports. Agencies contradict each other. But somehow, no one is held accountable.

Meanwhile, when it comes to ordinary citizens — or worse, political opponents —
justice moves faster than lightning.
Warrants appear overnight.
Trials push through without delay.
Narratives are built in hours.

Roque’s post slices through the political noise:
Justice should not malfunction only when the powerful are involved.

And at a time when the nation sees selective outrage, selective prosecution, and selective truth — the Filipino people are demanding what is long overdue:

A justice system that records EVERYTHING, not just the weak.
