Vizconde Case: A Slap In the Philippine Justice System?

The recently decided case on the Vizconde massacre where the accused were acquitted for murder stirred remorse reactions from Filipinos here and abroad. This case is indeed a sensational one as it involves affluent personalities in the country.

I have read people tweet and post shoutouts about "justice delayed, justice denied in the Philippines" and people resenting the decision of the court magistrates on the acquittal of the accused. I could not help but react too because I am taking the steps to become one of the future members of the justice system in the country and it is my advocacy to help people who are in need of justice - the main reason why I am in law school. Taking into account how people spite the court for what they call "unfairness in the justice system that favors only the wealthy and powerful" I adamantly refuse to believe that we have no hope in our criminal justice system.
