I fully agree with what you said. With the Aquino administration, I certainly hope that things will change. Despite my frustrations with our country, I still believe there is hope. :-) Rudy: Thanks for your comments. I fully agree with what you said.

I was new in the Phil and was swindled. YOu seem to be serious and dedicated to your profession. Here is my opinion about our legal system. Our laws are so weak, You would get the impression that lawyers are on the side of the criminals. A retired bank president told me that if an employee embezzles 20,000,000 pesos, the MAXIMUM bail money is 20,000 pesos. Whereas, if you bounced a 32,000-peso check, you go to jail.(Bouncing check law) NO BAIL. Wawa kasi mandurokot kung puro cheke dala nyo. It was reported that the tax on cigarette is based on 1996 retail price, that is why we can’t collect more taxes on it. It takes an act of congress to change it. Hmm. If that can be done,it is fair to assume that our laws were corrupted in favor or businessmen and lawmakers. Must be looked into. Written laws that passed thru Congress are treated as “suggestion only” or reference for law students. Justice system in the Phil seems to be not about justice but about lawyer’s racket. As long as you have money for acceptance fee, right or wrong, he’ll take your case. And right or wrong he will prolong the case for more legalized extortion. That is why it takes years to close a simple case. Judges support delays for job security. They are lawyers too. Simple case like 1+1 = 2. Is not so with the Phil lawyer. It is “ = teka, puedeng pagusapan yan”. They also make money for preparing affidavit of loss, denial, etc and notary public, whenever they can milk the public. In America, a lost credit card can be replaced in 2 minutes w/o those affidavits and notary public. Notary public here is also free in banks and pharmacies or it could cost you 25 cents. I wonder how pinoy lawyers could make money here. SONA reported that lawyers make only 7,000 pesos per month based on the submitted income tax return. Halatang nandaraya yet nakakalusot o pinalulusot pa rin ng kapwa lawyers sa DOJ at BIR. We need STANDARDIZED WRITTEN LAWS for the country TO BE IMPLEMENTED according to the letter of the law. Laws, not based on opinions, or pakikisama sa kkk. Not based on religion, sex or age or status in life, but on FAIRNESS to all. PUNISHMENT FOR VIOLATORS MUST BE IMPOSED. Walang pakiusapan. Good luck sau. Rudy I need a new lawyer. I was new in the Phil and was swindled. YOu seem to be serious and dedicated to your profession. Here is my opinion about our legal system.
