President Aquino admitted that he
was very frustrated with the country’s judicial system like what happen to the
Maquindanao massacre that killed 58 people including the 32 journalist.
President expressed his deepest sympathies
with the bereaved families of the massacre victims, who as of now still waiting
for justice nearly five years after they were murdered by the alleged order of
Governor in Maguindanao Andal Ampatuan Sr.
“I feel what the families are feeling. When
will they get justice?” Aquino told TV5 in Filipino.
But President Aquino acknowledged
legal procedures that need to be followed, especially the number of complainants
and accused in the massacre case.
“So frustration? Medyo
(Frustration? Somehow),” Aquino said, generally referring to the slow
pace of cases under the Philippine justice system.
Maguindanao massacre was no
different and this did not help both government and private prosecutors have
been loggerheads on handling the cases.
