Amal Clooney Has No Business Defending GMA

International human rights lawyer Amal Clooney just doesn't have any business interfering with the Philippine judicial system.

'Fertlizer Scam' Case Moves Forward

The axe of justice is slow, but it is still there nevertheless. It is frustrating for some to see many affluent personalities, including politicians, get favorable treatment from the law, but under President Benigno Aquino III, the wheels are turning against the corrupt persons in authority.

This is what was evident after Ombudsman Conchita Carpio-Morales ordered the filing of graft charges against former Lopez Jaena, Misamis Occidental mayor Zenaida Azcuna and six others in connection with their supposed involvement in the alleged PhP 1-million fertilizer fund scam in 2005.
