As in all murders, the kidnapping and killing of publicist to politicians Salvador "Bubby" Dacer and his driver Alex Corbito cry to high heaven for justice no matter how long ago it happened.
Now with the apparent change of heart of suspect former police officer Cesar Mancao and his confession and affidavit implicating his former boss, Sen. Panfilo Lacson to the murder, there is a chance that justice is indeed at hand for Dacer and Corbito.
But in a nation currently governed by a regime on the wrong side history (per US President Obama’s description) and where people are divided between the powerful few who are above the law and the masses who fall below it, there is still that nagging doubt if indeed, justice will truly be served.
In the morality battle of good and evil, there are just two sides. Evil does not fight evil but eventually joins forces to inflict itself against the good, the innocent or the helpless.
It was very puzzling why recently, in connection with the Senate investigation on the World Bank Road Project Corruption Scandal Sen. Lacson who bills himself as Mr. Expose and Mr. Clean suddenly absented himself from a very important session where he had a chance to dig dipper into the case and expose the people behind it. Instead he left this task to his colleagues.
Was this a downpayment for a future or secret alliance to a regime that has the goods on him?
We may never know. For as long as this country is divided between those who are above and under the law, ordinary mortals who are under the powerful will never know.
