July 28, 2010 – I learned two things today; one, you shouldn’t have full trust on the education that an attorney got from his college years and two, Municipal Trial Courts and the Regional Trial Court here in the province wouldn’t show everything to you even if they say they’re public.
“So tinetesting mo kami? (So you’re testing us?)” were the last words that I heard from Atty. Steve Resari. (And I hope you happen to google your name someday and find this article written about your where-have-all-yer-education-gone statement.)
I wanted to tell him, “Dae pa obvious, sir? Kulang pa? (Did we fail to make it obvious, sir? Was that not enough?)” But my kind and reluctant self was more powerful than my aggressive and disrespectful self, so I just kept quiet about it just to save my soul from hell. If I were not that afraid to miss heaven, I would have showered him with shame as I point my finger at him while laughing in front of his officemates.
We were writing court stories for our Newswriting subject. We were journalism students. We were deprived of looking into public documents. We were treated as if we were kids who shouldn’t be told where the cookie jar is hidden. We are not. Fuck you, Office of the Clerk of Courts, Legazpi City.
