BIANCA GONZALEZ
TV HOST Bianca Gonzalez clearly took a swipe at some public officials embroiled in anomalous transactions.
“Honest question about lots of news lately. When a public official is/was caught doing something wrong/illegal, when interviewed for a statement, what makes it difficult to just apologize and own up to the wrongdoing?” she tweeted.
Agad namang sumagot ang isa niyang follower who said, “Liability. If you admit something (in front of media) then it can be used against you as an exception on the rule against self-incrimination. Hence they don’t admit / apologize. Liabilities include administrative, civil, or criminal. At least theoretically.”
“But if they really did it, isn’t it the more honorable thing to do to own up to it? Or is this idea too idealistic?” she asked.
“Ideally yes. In Japan, as example, honor is super important. Here things are more cynical tho,” answered one guy.
“Pero diba mas pinapatawad yung nagso-sorry? Or in these situations, it doesn’t matter na mapatawad ng tao? (LOL it really has been bugging me hahaha),” she said.
“That’s true. But it takes an incredible amount of bravery to admit error (and even more to apologize),” sagot sa kanya ng isang follower.
We think that Bianca should realize that the justice system in the country is never fair. For instance, a supermarket guy was immediately jailed dahil nang-umit siya ng canned good. ‘Yung mga politikong nagnakaw ng daang milyon at bilyon ay hindi naman nakukulong.
Yung mahirap na prisoner ay walang privilege na humiling sa korte ng furlough pero ‘yung mga politikong nakakulong ay binibigyan ng korte ng isang araw na makapiling ang pamilya nila sa mismong bahay nila.
‘Yung mahihirap ba na nakakulong ay binibigyan ng house or hospital arrest privilege ng korte?
Siyempre hindi. Ang pribilehiyong iyon ay para sa mga mayayaman lang at may katungkulan.
That said, nahihirapan kaming irespeto ang justice system sa ating bansa.
