Government Monopoly of Justice

THE CONTINUING SHAME OF OUR NATION
It is due to “Government Monopoly of Justice.”

The basic cause of the hardships of the common ordinary and poor people in the Philippines including government graft and corruption is the discriminatory, or unfair, set up of the Philippine Justice system. This is the basic cause – to emphasize my point. It is technically known as “Government Monopoly of Justice”, aka: Government Dictatorship in Justice.

It is defined as the practice in the administration of justice by which powerful public officials can simply dictate their wishes upon administrators of justice such as a justice, judge, or government prosecutor, or registrar of deeds, by influence, by trick, or even by force such as when the public official is supported by the army, police, or highly armed body guards or private army, or by death squads, which was high lighted in the Maguindanao Massacre of recent history.

Where justice is a government monopoly, the government is a slave by those who control it, and the people they serve are nothing but beggars of justice. Is this true or not?

Why do you think that some ancestral owners of lands have lost their land ownership to big corporations owned by some lawmakers by means of fake Transfer Certificate of Titles?

In the present justice system, a poor landowner has no chance to defend his interest in a legal battle in court when faced by a battery of syndicated conspiracy of corrupt judges, fiscals, registrars of deeds, notary public and counsel for a land grabber – all of whom are lawyers – in depriving him of his land ownership. Walang laban ang pobreng Intoy na may-ari sa lupa, “thanks” to the courtesy of the Philippine “Government Monopoly of Justice.”

Setting up of a “Jury Systems Law” by the people’s initiative process is the only means to dismantle this monopoly”. Here is the link to that proposed law:http://www.mediafire.com/view/?u9xdn3phbjx5zod>

If enacted into law, this will serve as the “Master Procedural Enforcement Law” under the supervision of the Judicial Branch of the Government to enforce all other laws of the land including all anti-graft laws.

It is a given fact that in spite of the enactment of various anti-corruption laws, namely, the Anti-Graft Law RA 3019 in 1960, the Code of Conduct of Public Officials Law RA 6713 in 1989, and, the Anti-Money Laundering Act RA 9160 in 2001, among others, graft and corruption still continue. These laws are more of a band aid solution and not a basic solution to stop government corruption. As we can see, government corruption is still worsening, aided by rampant smuggling, and growing by leaps and bounds, perhaps a thousand times more since the Anti-Graft Law RA 3019 was legislated over 50 years ago.
