continuationi just found out that hale was illegally arrested: taken by the police without a warrant while sleeping...how much worse can it get? too much already. pops and i are filing administrative charges against the pao and the wardens at qc and camp caringal. even sir vanni and sir gilbert agree. such heartbreak.

back to basicsinstead of studying for my labor law review exam on friday (or is it thursday?), im online writing this blog. so much stuff on my mind right now. saw their pics and i keep wondering if i should envy them because it could have been me in the pic..or should i be relieved because it could have been me in the pic? prior claim syndrome setting in. but on a deeper thought, we were younger then and more stupid. what would i have become if it were me? cant even imagine. all my dreams down the drain? no thank you. yeah, yeah im selfish. but it does take years to forgive oneself, you know. ----- i know ive lost track of the vision i once had why i wanted to become a lawyer. somewhere along the way, the noise of routine drowned out the calling. but not today. not anymore. back track a little....friday morning, ate asked me to help her out with this case of her friend's brother who was detained for possession and sale. told me he had hepa a and needed immediate medical treatment. heck, detention centers here are overcrowded and so dirty that its enough punishment already. anyway, told me the pao lawyers were not doing anything about it and that arraignment is october 3 (which is today). told atty. sembrano about it and he said to ask the family to go to the center. woke up this morning and hale, the guy who was detained, passed away last night. the jail warden found him bloated and unconscious inside his cell. nobody can explain the feeling of pain and frustration inside me. why didnt the pao do anything about it????? why didnt they file an urgent motion for medical treatment? why didnt the jail warden take him to the hospital? after all, he has the power to do so...WHY. people, detainees and convicts (innocent or guilty) are PEOPLE! they breathe. they sleep. they get hungry. they have FEELINGS! some people who are roaming free society are worse than them. i dont understand why the world has to be like this. i feel so helpless. its like my hands are tied. i cant wait to finish law and do whatever i can to make things better...
