If you were in front of him, what would you tell him?
Filed under current events
I found out today that the head lawyer of Sulpicio Lines belong to the same organization as I.
I had seen him before in previous functions and I had read about him in the papers, but I didn’t make the connection until this morning, when he was the butt of friendly jokes at our leadership training.
I wondered if anyone in that room honestly believed that the shipping line is at fault. They seemed to be blaming the weather bureau. I don’t know if they said what they said because that was what they really believe, or if they were just being polite.
These past few weeks we’ve read and heard about how Sulpicio Lines has tried to squirm out of responsibility.
So when I found out that he was the Sulpicio lawyer, I thought about going up to him and talk to him (and maybe scourge him).
But I made the mistake of waiting until the program was over, and by then I had a clearer mind. He was there as a person, not as the lawyer of Supicio Lines, so I let it go. And I thought, he is only the lawyer, maybe he was just doing his job.
But if you’re a lawyer, would you defend a serial killer? (I say serial killer with conviction.)
They say, though, that lawyers cannot choose their clients, so I don’t know what to think.

Hehe… I’ve met him last weekend too at our “leadership seminar”. I found him to be quite a nice fellow (though seriously, they should do something about that thing they call “training”).
I don’t blame him, I suppose even bad guys need representation too, else we won’t be much different from the tyrants of the past.
i forgot that you are also in the same org.

it didn’t come out as “training” to me, too. you are right, it was more like a seminar. kulang na kulang. wala man lang workshop. tsk. most of the trainings i have been to conduct workshops or exercises after the lectures.

you are right. innocent until proven guilty. it is a basic human right.
Yeah, I haven’t been in it long, but the last 3 trainings I attended were not only trainings, they were mostly irrelevant too. Insisting that 4 officer attend a so-called training that’s easily accessible through the manuals are a waste of time. I wish they’d announce the topic before hand, or maybe even offer several different topics so we don’t waste time on stuff we either know about or are not useful to us. Sorry for the OT hehe
lol. i agree. the manuals are far better. i expect more from an organization that aims to foster leadership skills.
should we call the attention of the district? sana may evaluation or postmortem ano.
birds of a feather, stox?
(i’m teasing
)
birds of a feather are birds.
that is why i didnt take up law he he
i dont wanna answer questions like that LOL
naku nagbabalak pa naman ako.
I can’t relate of this news though because I am not in the Philippines. I am not sure if we are going to blame the weather. But if the weather was really bad, then they’ll make it sure the boat engine should run good.
for me, it had nothing to do with the weather. everybody understands that we can’t do anything about the weather. we can’t change it, but we can be cautious around it to avoid disasters.
