“The truth, Your Honor, is often uncomfortable. But our responsibility as officers of the court is not to shy away from it. Hindi po kami narito upang magpasikat, kundi upang manindigan sa tama. And in this case, the truth is clear: the negligence, the cover-up, the deliberate intent to delay justice—all of it, points directly to the other side.”
Tahimik si Judge Arrieta, pero nakita kong tumango siya nang bahagya. Isang senyales na tama ang direksyon ko.
Muli kong tiningnan si Lourdes. Hindi siya ngumiti. Hindi rin siya nagsalita. Pero alam kong naramdaman niya ang bigat ng sinabi ko.
