MANILA- The guilty verdict handed down on members of a powerful political plan over the grisly 2009 Maguindanao massacre is a glimmer of hope for Filipinos seeking justice, Vice President Leni Robredo said Thursday as she hailed the much-awaited ruling.
"Paalala rin ito sa atin na ang lahat ng kasalanan ay may panahon din ng pananagutan, kahit minsa'y matagal ang paghihintay. Ang batas at katarungan ay walang pinipiling pangalan, maski na ang mga nasa kapangyarihan," she added. Brothers Zaldy and Andal "Unsay" Ampatuan Jr. were sentenced to reclusion perpetua or up to 40 years in prison without parole, according to the 761-page ruling, which was partially read in court.
