Module 10

Is social justice evident in the impeachment trial of Chief Justice Corona? Discuss.

Chief justices is responsible in promoting social justice but as what we can hear, read and see these people are the ones who are taking it away from the people. In the case of impeachment of Chief justice Corona, I can say that it is an evident of social justice. Evident in the since that he was responsible for everything that he did. Not declaring his properties and liability assets shows that he is hiding something that is illegal, since one should be proud for what he earned and what he got from working only if these things are achieved honestly. So, impeachment of Corona will help people to experience their rights as a citizen of the Philippines. And in that way he will suffer the consequences of his work. Since that money should go to those people who are in need yet he takes it away from them and enjoys living a luxurious life while these people are suffering. 

It only shows that “Richer becomes richer and poor becomes poorer”.
