Kaban ni D_BystandeR: MAY TUGBANG BAYAD ANG KAAYO???

The probable reason why city hall strongly batted for the approval of a P45,000 per month to the judges is because they want to reciprocate to the favorable decisions received from a case where the CA upheld the city government as winner against the Rallos heirs and in another one involving the SRP.

It reminds me of how DOJ Secretary De Lima declared her personal views against judges receiving monthly stipends from  LGUs because of public's adverse perception that it can unduly influence the soundness of the decisions rendered by judges when the LGU is one of the  interested party involved in a case. Judges are already  receiving huge salaries and if city hall wants to really help those who are actually in dire economic situation they can train their focus to some groups like the barangay health workers who only received P4,000 a month. But there is nothing to get from the services of the health workers because it only benefits the poor people and it cannot help them win their cases in courts. But insisting to give huge allowances to the judges will only mean one thing - to reciprocate them in their  favorable decisions to the city government.
