The Remulla Disease: A Judicial Disability Undermining the Nation | OPTIC Politics | July 21, 2025
The Filipino people are not just suffering from economic hardship or political disillusionment—they are enduring a deeper, more insidious affliction: the Remulla Disease.
This national judicial disability is characterized by the deliberate crafting of narratives and fabrication of charges—engineered not for justice, but for political destruction. At its core lies a sinister agenda: to pin blame on former President Rodrigo Duterte for crimes built not on evidence, but on tailored scripts meant to demonize and dismantle his legacy.
What makes this even more deplorable is the full use of government resources—the national budget, taxpayer-funded agencies, and the entire state bureaucracy—co-opted to spread and sustain this disease. The Department of Justice, once a pillar of legal integrity, now serves as a factory of accusation and distortion, with Justice Secretary Boying Remulla at the helm.
Instead of pursuing real justice, the apparatus is being weaponized to rewrite history, vilify political opponents, and condition the public to accept a fraudulent narrative as truth. This is not governance. This is persecution.
The Remulla Disease has paralyzed the nation’s judicial ethics, and if left unchecked, it will leave the rule of law deformed beyond recognition.
