The wheels of Philippine justice need retooling, so much so that the country’s Chief Justice himself recently called for an emergency summit to discuss a rash of extra-judicial killings that have the claimed the lives of leftists, human rights workers, and journalists under President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. There have been few convictions for these crimes.
菲律宾司法公正的车轮需要调整，这样的调整需求如此迫切，以至于该国的首席法官不久前召开了一次紧急会议，探讨在格洛丽亚·马卡帕加尔·阿罗约（Gloria Macapagal Arroyo）总统统治下发生的对左翼人士、人权工作者和记者的不合法屠杀行为。没有人被裁定要为这样的暴行负责。
