No to shortcuts, yes to rule of law

In times of crisis, the soul of a nation is laid bare.
-
The recent flood control project scandal has once again exposed the rot that runs deep in our institutions. Billions meant to protect lives and livelihoods were allegedly siphoned off through a web of deception and political collusion. As public outrage boils over—and rightly so—the calls for swift justice grow louder. Heads must roll, many say. Justice must be served. Now.
But in our hunger for accountability, we must ask: At what cost?
There is a dangerous tendency in this country to respond to scandals with spectacle, especially among some of our politicians who opt for optics rather than the rule of law. When emotions run high and political stakes climb even higher, shortcuts are taken. Due process becomes an inconvenience, bypassed in favor of dramatic takedowns, trial by publicity, or even worse illegal or extralegal measures masquerading as swift justice.
