The Lack of Justice in the novel Noli Me Tangere is very relatable in our society today, In

some articles stating that the justice system in the Philippines is deadly and dangerous
for the lawyers and judges because of the people who are in power or have a lot of money
who can buy justice in their own way. “The justice system as a whole is in deadly
danger. The government’s executive branch, led by President Duterte, must take
immediate steps to ensure that judges and lawyers are not attacked or threatened simply
for doing their jobs” (Gil, 2021). A recent investigative report which included data from the
Supreme Court, stated that at least 61 lawyers, judges and prosecutors have been killed
under the Duterte administration since 2016. From 2004 to 2021, according to the report,
only seven cases have resulted in charges filed in court (Amnesty,2021). In the statement
of Amnesty where lawyers who are just doing their job are being killed who is ironically
doesn’t get their own justice, Just like in the novel where Filipinos are suppressed and
accused even if they are innocent by the Spanish friers and soldiers, they even have an
Hierarchy for the people living in the Philippines where the lower class people are facing
lack of justice. Even before, Rizal knew that the lack of justice was already happening in
the Spanish colonial era, until now, we can say that it worsen because today it even
involves killing who are seeking for justice.
