Law as a Farce, a Fraud, and a Ceremony

In the Philippines, for the most part, law is neither the rule of law nor a force of law. There is only the rule and the force of farce, a fraud, and a ceremony. Specially due to, if not because of, lawyers and judges in court. They subpoena witnesses to appear in court "to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth - so help you God!" If lawyers and judges in court were themselves truthful, they should also require that God be present to testify. Otherwise, how could God be of any help if he is only allowed to be always omni-absent. Never, but never - omni-present! In the meantime, only in the Philippines: there is the Catholic church with its Holy trinity comprised of God, the Father; God, the Son; and God, the holy Spirit. In the Philippine government, however, there is also the Holy Insanity: the lawmakers, the lawbreakers, and the law enforcers all three happy stealing in cahoots together. They are more popularly known to be: maka-dios; maka-Jesus; and maka-pera! Poch Suzara Twitter# Facebook# Google#
