INJUSTICE

“They took away justice, freedom, democracy. Now they take away dignity and most of all, character.”
-on the movie “Imelda” and how her family has been “marginalized”
“Ang aming ginawa ay pagmamahal sa kapwa, lalo na sa mahirap at dukha…”
-on Martial Law
The two quotes above were recently uttered by Imelda Marcos. I can’t even begin to describe how I felt when she said those things. I want to hurl everything within reach towards the television. I wanted to strangle and then I wanted to skin her alive and display her skinless (and hopefully still alive body) for the public to pillage and throw stones at. But I realized there is simply no dignity in stooping down to her level.
There is not a day when I wonder how come she remains to pompously show off her freedom every chance she gets. What kind of person would actually think that the Marcos family was a victim of injustice? Why hasn’t she been prosecuted for all the millions she plundered, for all the deaths, for all the deseparacidos still missing, for all those who were violently and unjustly tortured, for the entire Philippine nation who continues to swim in a ridiculously big amount of foreign debt???
How dare she cry injustice after all they have done to our country and to our people? I can understand and even forgive Spaniards, Americans and even the Japanese who colonized and enslaved our nation, but I cannot fathom and forgive the kind of evil which enslaved, tortured and savaged his own nation for his own sake and continues to deny the deeds.
Until I see Imelda Marcos and the Marcos cronies prosecuted, rebuked and imprisoned, I will not be in peace. If there is anybody more dangerous than a criminal, it’s a criminal who denies the crimes he has committed and continues to enjoy his liberties.
