Truth is the Greatest Bomb
Jurist, healer, horse racing aficionado, psychic, raconteur - the extraordinary Judge Florentino Floro Jr is all these things, and more. Now he has responded in the comments to my recent item about his dismissal to provide further details about his case and the injustice being perpetrated upon him by Philippine government.
I encourage all my readers to email Judge Floro [judgefloro@yahoo.com] and let him know of your support. Those possessing psychic powers should feel free to contact the Judge and his mystic dwarf associates directly via telepathy.
Readers can also contact the President of the Philippines, the Supreme Court of the Philippines, and the United States Embassy in Manilla and complain.

ReplyDeleteThe Government and the Supreme Court were not responsible for this FUNNY error. Only certain supreme court retired and incumbent justices including JBC Members with other politicians made it this way. But I believe really in destiny and KARMA as Buddha and our Bible, Koran, etc. wrote. We are all responsible for our wrong and good doings.
The legal battle has not ended it just began in view of the PATENT error. As it is said, THERE IS NO PERFECT CRIME.

Filipino 'dwarf' judge loses case
Friday, 18 August 2006, 01:57 GMT 02:57 UK http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/5261856.stm
A Philippines judge who said he consulted imaginary mystic dwarves has failed to convince the Supreme Court to allow him to keep his job.
'Dwarf dalliance'
The Manila trial judge had asked the Supreme Court to dismiss the complaint and return him to the bench, after being sacked in April. In a letter to the court he said: "From obscurity, my name and the three mystic dwarves became immortal." However, the Supreme Court said dalliance with dwarves would gradually erode the public's acceptance of the judiciary as the guardian of the law, if not make it an object of ridicule.

MANILA (AFP) - A Philippine judge who allegedly claimed to have psychic powers and communicate with imaginary "dwarf friends" has lost his appeal to keep his job.
Judge Florentino Floro, who presided in a suburban Manila court, was sacked on March 31 on "administrative grounds" after he failed a psychiatric test ordered by the Supreme Court. The final ruling, written on August 11, said "judges are expected to be guided by the rule of law and to resolve cases before them with judicial detachment" to ensure the public maintained its confidence in the judicial process.

Monday, August 07, 2006 -Arinday: Mind-boggling dismissal, By G.H. Arinday, Jr., Sunfare
http://www.sunstar.com.ph/static/bac/2006/08/07/oped/g.h..arinday.jr..sunfare.html
THE case of dismissed regional trial court Judge Florentino Floro Jr. is really one oddity which may yet found a space in the Guinness World of Records. The judge's claim that he is a psychic and could foresee the future, let alone his declaration that he was being helped by his three dwarf-friends while in a trance in writing his decisions, is considered as "psychosis" by the Supreme Court.
Such singular incident was taken notice by the believers of occult throughout the world and merited attention from no less than prestigious TV international programs like "Showbiz Tonight" and NBC's "Countdown" with Keith Olbermann.
Of course the High Tribunal did not declare the judge "insane" per se but suffering from psychosis. An honor student during his college days and a 12th
placer in the 1983 Bar Examinations, the sacked magistrate is now enjoying his international fame and believes he has attained "immortality" together with his friends from the "elemental" realm.
But as A. J. Hammer of CNN's "Showbiz Tonight" asked why it took three long years for the highest court to decide, nobody has given a definite answer; it's mind-boggling.
If psychosis had taken hold of the former judge, his reputation of "being abnormal" person may have radically changed. This stigma shall forever his nameplate and his capacity to render legal service may be suspect.

Judges and Dwarfs Don't Mix
I've been watching this system for 35 years … Every quarter the Judicial Conduct Reporter lands on my desk… Usually the Judicial Conduct Reporters have a theme… sexual harassment… seems to be the judicial equivalent of the common cold. But there are other themes: bullying people, inappropriate gifts, ill-advised charitable activities. One of my favorites was "Judicial Road Rage." This was a collection of guys who didn't just yell at another motorist or flip them off, but had them arrested. These people actually sent their bailiffs out, or called the sheriff, and had motorists whose driving offended them tossed into the hoosegow…our judges don't seem as prone to things like making decisions by flipping a coin (summer 2003) or falsely claiming to have won the Medal of Honor (summer 1995).
Nor do we talk to imaginary mystic dwarfs…But today I found out the mystic dwarf thing is grounds for removal of a judge in the Philippines. According to Reuters, "A Philippine judge who claimed he could see into the future and admitted consulting imaginary mystic dwarfs has asked for his job back after being sacked by the country's Supreme Court." Wow. I'm too old to use the word "awesome," but I just don't know how else to describe that. As judicial flameouts go, that's Krakatoa.
My hat's off to former-Judge Florentino Floro and his ... uh ... staff.
This beats the hell out of anything the Judicial Conduct Reporter's come up with lately. And I just love it. I love it because it makes me feel superior. I love it because I've never previously gotten to type the phrase "imaginary mystic dwarfs." And I love it because the guy is APPEALING! As near as I can determine, he's making this out to be a freedom of religion issue. He says, "They should not have dismissed me for what I believed." Certainly, I can sympathize with that position.
The prospect of judges being removed because of their personal belief systems is anathema to all of us ...these aren't just your ordinary, garden-variety, run-of-the-mill imaginary mystic dwarfs. These are imaginary mystic healing dwarfs! Certainly the Philippine Supreme Court thinks it lowers your score. Although they were very diplomatic about it. According to Reuters, "The Supreme Court said it was not within its expertise to conclude that Floro was insane, but agreed with the court clinic's finding that he was psychotic." I'm not sure just what distinction they were drawing here. They may have been saying, "We're not psychiatrists, so we can't say he's gone stark, staring loony tunes on us, but we certainly agree with the doctors who said it." Or they may have concluded that, in today's world, one psychosis hardly differentiates you from the rest of society; it takes at least two or three to qualify for a diagnosis of insanity.
Either way, they confiscated his robe and his ruby slippers and fined him $780.
And, mirabile dictu, Judge Floro is appealing. I don't have a clue who to. Who do you appeal to after the Philippine Supreme Court disrobes you? Seems to me, you and the dwarfs have pretty much topped out when you lose in your nation's supreme court. I can't really see The Hague taking this one on. But Judge Floro has vowed an appeal, and, since he can see into the future, I have to assume it's gonna come to pass. And I'm not about to take a chance that I might miss the outcome of this saga. I'm going online as soon as I finish writing this to subscribe to the Philippine Judicial Conduct Quarterly. Then I'm gonna contact the dwarfs and see if they can do anything about my putting.
Comments by Lester F. Hardy from United States on Thursday, June 15, 2006
I think sixteenth century Spain would be a far better choice than contemporary Iceland. Icelandic elves, at least in so far as I can judge from the available literature, have little or nothing in common with avenging angels and similarly disposed spirit guides. Torquemada, on the other hand, might have found a use for Judge Floro's unusual capabilities.
I think perhaps that what Judge Floro needs is a simple change of venue. Consider Iceland, where government agencies consult maps identifying the location of elf-abodes before siting projects. The consideration given in some nations to elf-habitat has prompted at least one observer to suggest that elves enjoy legal protection, or "elf rights", in both Iceland and Ireland .. a judge professing the beliefs expressed by Judge Soro might blend right in. Come to think of it, the Ninth Circuit might want to consider a move as well.

Prominent San Francisco Lawyer/legal luminary wrote –
You may recall that Judge Floro was dismissed (or "separated") from the bench in Malabon City, a suburb north of Manila, after questions arose about his practices of starting court days with a reading from the Book of Revelations, conducting faith-healing sessions in chambers, and consulting three "mystic dwarves" named Luis, Armand and Angel for advice and predictions of future events.
As best I can tell from the pleadings, his argument is more or less that he should not have been separated from the bench just because of his beliefs, so long as he served his country and Malabon City in a fair and honorable manner. That's a fair point -- who would you rather have as a judge: somebody who takes bribes; or an honest guy who happens to have lightning teeth and well-educated spirit friends but can pass the hardest bar exam in the world? I know my answer.

The World is Governed by 4 Kinds of Elementals, with Luis as King, and just inhabited by Humans and Animals.
Retired Judge Graciano H. ARINDAY, JR., philosophy professor, had seen his days as RTC Judge of Silay City (which is famous for delicacies like pancit molo, the old houses and very hospitable dark complexioned natives). ARINDAY is surprisingly a mixed philosopher and paranormal teacher, reading from his scholarly researched opinion. It is so revealing about western thought and ancient civilization. He wrote the OPINION:

"Do you recall the three dwarf-friends of the cashiered regional trial court judge? Well, the story has not yet been closed as th
e judge, a believer of “etheric worlds beyond the world we know”, has filed a disbarment case against some of the leading lights of the High Tribunal. The action taken by dismissed Judge Florentino Floro of Malolos, Bulacan is unprecedented…"
ARINDAY’s mind tersely summarized Judge Floro’s 7 years painful case:
"In the case of the beleaguered judge and his three dwarf-friends, are there decisions he rendered that he was out of sync?"
He further explains:
”If ever the case of the former judge Florentino Floro, which has circulated around the globe through various blogs and print media reaching as far as South Africa, it would be an interesting discourse on the part of the magistrates assigned to assess the claim of said judge, even if it would debunk the existence of the dwarf-friends and the “psychical” elements.”
Remarkably, he ended the piece this way:
“And Judge Floro’s “misadventure” in the legal realm has merited a long long way for all those who share the beliefs that the Earth is not just for humans and animals.”
