1. A proper system of Drug Enforcement
2. The Political will to enact it

You all can focus on technicality on what has happened or has not. It won’t matter in the eyes of the many filipino people unless you all are blind and deaf. :)

The common duties of these departments that many Filipinos expect them to do are to send bad people to jail and protecting citizens from future consequences of drug pushing and drug addicts, at least on this case.

When entities are not acting as a team and coordinate its duty to achieve common goals, the citizens of this country will continue to suffer. It is common knowledge in which government officials or employees seek illegitimate personal gain through bribery, extortion, cronyism, nepotism, patronage, graft, and embezzlement. It’s an organized rent seeking type of political corruption where there’s no transparency promoting narrow interests.

A more solid facts from experts studies of our country’s Political Corruption involving the Justice system and our Law Enforcement can be found HERE and HERE.

The links above support that both DOJ and PDEA are weak in its duties and governance.

“CORRUPTION in the Philippines is perceived to have further worsened as the country sank to its lowest ranking to date in the Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) for 2008.” PCIJ

“From 131 (out of 179 countries) last year, the Philippines is now at 141 (out of 180), DOWN 10 notches with a score of 2.3, the worst it has attained since the composite index, which draws from several expert and business surveys, was introduced in 1995. The country’s CPI score has a confidence range between 2.1 and 2.5.”

PDEA and DOJ are both corrupt. It is wise to keep bad people in jail.

Sa palagay ko eh medyo kulang ang research mo bago mo nacompose itong blog. Sa ganang akin, base sa link na ibinigay ni brian dapat talagang imbestigahan ang DOJ sa napakaraming drug cases na dinismiss nila.

Hindi biro ang salaping ginugugol ng gobyerno sa pagtugis sa mga sindikatong sangkot sa mga ipinagbabawal na gamot at pagkatapos ay ibabasura lamang ng DOJ nang hindi man lamang naihahain sa korte.

Kung may sinasabi ang PDEA na may suhulang nagaganap sa DOJ, sabihin nila ang pangalan ng diretsuhan kaysa ipa-LOA ito ni PGMA kaso mas tumatagal ang imbestigasyon mas nagiging matagal ang kaso at ang dapat sanang ginugugol na para mag-isip ng matibay na kampanya laban sa droga.

investigations really take time. it is not as simple as pointing who is the allege bribe taker.
there is a lot of probing to do in order the deliver justice.

i think it is sop to suspend people who are under investigation and if they really are innocent, they will not instigate a mass leave for other prosecutors.

In this news, the DOJ people under investigation were identified.

Open your eyes. Alabang Boys’ lawyer typing in a letterhead of the DOJ the supposed release order of the suspect. Lawyers call it “res ipsa loquitor”.
