Old man arrested for allegedly stealing 10 kilos of mangoes, meanwhile convicted Imelda Marcos is still free due to old age

Wazzup Pilipinas!?

The Philippines' justice system is a total wreck, for the poor and is very civil, to the wealthy.

Narding Floro, an 80-year-old man from Asingan, Pangasinan, was arrested on January 13, 2022 for allegedly stealing 10 kg of mangoes. 

“Pinapitas ko yung isang puno ng manga wala pang sampung kilo, ang alam ko sakop namin. Noong binakuran nila, sinakop naman na nila pero tanim ko naman yun.” Lolo Floro said.

He added that he tried to settle things and volunteered to just pay for the mangoes rather than go to court. However, he was told that he should just pay the P6,000 bail. 

To think that it was him who planted that tree yet ibang tao makikinabang just because they claim sa kanila yung lupa??  

Meanwhile, Imelda Marcos has a warrant of arrest pero it was never implemented and she walks free.

Imelda Marcos was convicted guilty of 7 counts of graft in 2018 but has never seen a day in jail. She was sentenced to a minimum of 42 years in prison but was deemed “too old” to keep behind bars.

Si Imelda nga malaya eh bilyung dolyar ang ninakaw tapos eto pinitas lang yung itinanim niyang puno?

Pero kay Imelda na convicted hindi ipinakulong?! Dahil ba Marcos ay may consideration?

Get lost with your selective justice. This is not fair at all.

I'll rant because this government is making me sick. Stealing is not right even though tatay is 80 years old already but he explained and reached out for an agreement. Maliit na bagay compared to what Imelda Marcos did pero hindi nakulong?

Sorry tatay Narding. Our justice system is for the rich, powerful and politician only. 

Justice should be for everyone but what's happening is, ang hustisya ay para lamang sa mga mayayaman at nasa posisyon o may impluwensiya. Bumaba na lang sila sa puwesto because they don't obey the law in the first place. Mga clown.
