In the case of Dr. Farrah, It wasn’t enough to say on the one hand on the other hand because there wasn’t an on the one hand on the other hand. There was one hand which was slaughtering the other hand. I responded to this flagrant violation not just of democratic principles but of human rights and rule of law. *As the proverbialist bequeathed to the world the familiar adage, “If you put a dress silk on a goat it is a goat still.” The aphorism, as will presently be seen, is not entirely without relevance to the case at bar. A person or persons trained to uphold the law would not depart from something basic and fundamental a principle of due process if the consideration that he or they demanded as a condition were not satisfied.
The invention of the Boston C and the vitamin C by the grandfather of Dr. Farrah and improve by her and her father became the cure for the dreadful disease of cancer and other serious diseases. The discovery was both a blessing and a curse because while the same brought great promises and a sense of hope for the people especially the poor, it has gotten her much hate, envy, and anger from medical practitioners and the pharmaceutical companies. With her passion to cure the poor with the alternative medicines, she has become the face of greatness and intense envy of some people turned into hate, furious and bitter. This propels them to the threshold beyond limits and restraint and sent them into a downward spiral, the forecast was a stormy one.
It was enough to ignite the fire of anger and hatred against her. Soon it was an uncontrollable fire. Whispered rumors became shouted fact. Conjectures became conclusions. The unguarded comment became a deliberate confession. Innocent acts became sinister schemes. Innocent words became coolly calculated commands. Resultantly, Dr. Farrah found herself facing the FDA and its Officials from the complaints of the prejudice of an aroused groups, medical practitioners association and pharmaceutical companies who obviously were envious and threatened about the stability of their profession, and the big pharmaceutical conglomerates worried about its future.
It appears, that by complainants’ enticing and provocation, the FDA took the bait and was swayed by the tide of human indignation, rode on the occasion with an ax to grind against Dr. Farrah, as they had been seemingly tempted with the deceitful cajoling resorting to a backdoor recourse for a hugely priced favor that is impossible to resist. They had to choose and they chose one of two bad options.
The FDA raided the Cancer Center Clinic of Dr. Farrah, which was made much too soon, overacting and exaggerated without due process which by just using both common sense and common weal makes the raid illegal for it was only anchored on mere supposition and misleading accusations in a manner likened to a Gestapo operation of shoot first and asked questions later, a demolition of all our sense of rationality. Regardless of the motive behind, this raid demonstrates the increasing fog that corruption supersedes as it’s now very difficult to distinguish friend from foe, especially when the unbridled greed for money begins to fly. It seems the FDA is now existing with that old chant “Fish rots from the head” and everything that was once going on in the shadows was now conducted in broad daylight.
These adversaries are the more dangerous because they are the unreasoning accusers, feeding on their revulsion and resentment for Dr. Farrah who they had already condemned. The complainants’ motives in instituting the charges against Dr. Farrah are not beyond suspicion. But curiously enough, the FDA believed them hook, line, and sinker, it’s a frustration it failed to detect a string of inevitable consequences of deaths because by taking down Dr. Farrah, it is turning off the only lifeline which the cancer patients depend literally for their survival. The FDA should have known better the raid is not a pencil that when you commit a mistake you can erase it anytime.
What are the habits, the obsessions, the whims of these men manning the FDA capable of subjecting the entire population to their destructive madness? Do these people not have hearts? Can they not look and see this isn't right?" Society cannot tolerate the despicable deeds of these sociopaths, and for this, they deserve to be cashiered to the deepest recesses of the dungeons where they can grind and gnash their teeth till kingdom come.
Dr. Farrah deserves some respect and as Filipinos we want her to succeed. I hope that the medical practitioners and the pharmaceutical companies can find solace in their fortress of solitude one day. Dr. Farrah did not do any wrong, instead, her passion to cure the poor with her invention on alternative medicines give them hope in life to live additional years and this is good in every sense of the word.
The following fundamental principle herein stated must be in constant need of restatement so that they may continue radiating the sparks of their truth and virtue. What are penalized by law are those whose acts are anti-social; when it is exercised for the only purpose of prejudicing or injuring another; when the objective is illegitimate, without utility or legitimate purpose that causes damage to another. Hence, every abnormal exercise of a right, contrary to its socio-economic purpose, is an abuse that will give rise to liability. This is not what we have seen from Dr. Farrah relative to what she is doing.
There’s no ambiguity here in our country and were supposed to live in one, the rulers cannot hold one different from the other; there are no sacred cows here. The complainants against Dr. Farrah are not nobles; they’re citizens just like you and me. I’m arguing to let people have the same protection in the face of the protectors and the implementers of the law like the FDA whose salaries we’re paying. They shouldn’t be allowed to set one standard for the complainants above the standard they require of everyone else. That’s just a basic democratic principle. I’m saying, why the FDA is setting up a class of people like the complainants, cutting them off from the other like Dr. Farrah, where they’re supposed to be ruling in the most hypocritical possible way. I mean, the FDA should have to abide by what they’re imposing on the rest of us.
We cannot emphasize too strongly that the FDA should not allow, and should avoid, giving the impression that their noble office is being used or prostituted, wittingly or unwittingly, for political ends, or other purposes alien to, or subversive of, the basic and fundamental objective of observing the interest of justice evenhandedly, without fear or favor to any and all litigants alike, whether rich or poor, weak or strong, powerless or mighty. Only by strict adherence to the established norms and principles may the public’s perception of the impartiality of the enforcers be enhanced.
But the raid and the closure of the Cancer Center of Dr. Farrah was so blatantly bias which shocks the common man’s sense of decency and fair play. The decision to raid doesn’t print the truth, it prints what they’re told. Somebody told them to execute the raid and they chose to oblige in glorious accord and enthusiasm, a familiar sight of the way a dog reacts to every direction wherever the hand with a piece of meat is going. Sadly, for the cancer patients, Dr. Farrah was the person who keeps their Island of happiness afloat as the deep waves of death are getting rougher every day. However, with what the FDA had done, only the event that will teach them their final day of reckoning.
