MANILA, Philippines — Pinapurihan ng Volunteers Against Crime and Corruption (VACC) ang anya’y isang “game changer” na hakbang ni Supreme Court Associate Justice Ricardo Rosario kaugnay sa ginawang pagsibak sa isang security staff na sangkot sa ‘gun toting’ incident sa Quezon City kamakailan.
Sinabi ni VACC President Arsenio “Boy” Evangelista na ang ginawa ni Justice Rosario ay pagpapakita ng agarang paglalapat ng hustisya laban sa pinatalsik na security staff na si Wilfredo Gonzales, na nanakit at nagkasa ng baril sa isang siklista sa lungsod.
“To many citizens on the brink of disillusionment about the country’s slow-grinding and sometimes unfair justice system, what the SC magistrate did gave them good reason for hope. To anti-crime advocates and crusaders for good governance, Justice Rosario’s action was a game changer towards attaining principled and swift justice in this country.,” pahayag ni Evangelista .
Sinasabing pagkapanood ni Rosario sa video footage ng road rage incident na kinasasangkutan ni Gonzales ay agad itong tinanggal sa serbisyo. Si Gonzales ay co-terminous employee sa tanggapan ni Justice Rosario.
“He found no justification in Wilfredo Gonzales’ dangerous act of physically assaulting an unarmed cyclist and then pulling out his gun and cocking the pistol towards the other guy.Whether or not it was the cyclist that provoked the altercation, the High Tribunal magistrate delivered what he believes is the highest standard of justice that Filipinos deserve. This he did quietly and without a speck of propaganda fanfare,” sabi pa ni Evangelista.
Una rito, nagpahayag din ng papuri si Congressman Dan Fernandez at Gabriela Partylist Rep. Arlene Brosas kay Justice Rosario dahil sa mabilis na aksyon ng pagdidisiplina kay Gonzales.
