SALUNGGUHIT

By Flon Faurillo / Bulatlat

Monkey Justice 

Despite the lifting of Proclamation No. 1017, which placed the country under a state of national emergency, the assault on civil liberties that it unleashed continues. The country remains very much in a situation that is reminiscent of the martial law years and getting worse and worse by the day. What we see now is the crumbling of whatever semblance of a justice system that the country previously enjoyed. This is now being replaced by a farcical administration of “justice” blatantly beneficial only to the ruling political clique – in Philippine colloquial terms a farce is called unggoy-unggoyan.

Salungguhit literally means to underline; figuratively, to underscore or highlight.
