In Retrospect: Supreme Court 1991-1993.


       For the past few weeks,i'm so much occupied with my personal research related to all the things i once experienced happened inside the 'Philippine Supreme Court 1991-1993.' Actually,way back 2003-2004,i already started gathering some relevant materials that i can use in my  personal profiling that willbe useful to me once i decided to write everything concerning my high court experienced. Will such assignment be easy? No! Writing something relevant is not an easy thing.For me,aside from relevant useful relevant materials, i also need to refresh myself,my memories connected to the institution,to the justices, lawyers,and of course,my fellow security guards. Not to mention some professional politicians,and that of media personalities whom i once talk to and inquired of something. Working for the first time in the high court gave me the impression that these high court justices seems to be 'infalliable,' capable of interpreting the constitution unmistakenly. They worked as of a 'god' whose decisions can mean either a life,or say, death to the country, to 
the instutions, and of course,to the individual.(Aren't the psalms of david say that they are 'god's?') Some questions began to take form in my mind at the time  when i began my work as a trained security guard insidethe high court. Some of questions are just trivial curiosities. Some are of  that of the olympians. Seeing the justices face-to-face gave me an awe of admiration the very first time i began serving them. I listen to them talk wether inside their chamber, in the high court corridors(both old,and new building.), waiting for their car services,or within the high court perimeters. Most of the are serious looking. Some do have a friendly looks which anyone can't be afraid of. There are many other things i discovered personally while working in that high court. Some of the things i discovered are very much offensive  to the institution,to some concern justices,lawyers,politicians,and even to some media practitioners. Oh,yes,in today's electronic world  a whistle blower, a writer-maverick, or anyone whose ideas might be a skyrocketing-threat  wether to the institution,to the society,or to the individual itself is really a welcome treat. Such person can send his/her ideas to the world in general without fear of being stop. Did i say 'without being stop?' I'm sorry. That's complete overlook. Powerful individuals, people, profesionals with connections and influence in both government,and private institutions did have ways and means to stop any would-be expose'. They can either used community goons,media practitioners,profesional spinners,advertisement,religious entities, and even one's relative,or family just to make sure that such publications can be neutralized, or even, stop. Such attacks can either be the very subtle direct and indirect way. And of course, their is their government connection that can be mobilized to surveillance  any woul-be whistle blower. And if government authorities are mobilized unjustly speaking, law enforcement authorities can used computer router, a magic lantern,or simply use a laptop to  get all the information in one's hard-disk. Would i still venture to write everything i saw,heard,and experienced inside the high court? Well, i believe in a just,rightful and truthful principle that is worth fighting for. Such is a strong, and good convinction.
