Himig ng Katarungan (Sound of Freedom)

Berteni Cataluña Causing,  known to friends in media as "Toto Causing" has composed this original song"Himig ng Katarungan" [Sound of freedom],  to convey his advocacy for all Filipinos to embrace "Hukuman ng Mamamayan" or Jury System.

He believes that this song is the only way for ordinary Filipinos to be encouraged to work well and decently. With this system of justice, the policemen amongst us will now be working well that they will no longer sell their arrests, no longer arrest without justification, no longer will extort, and will no longer worry that their higher officers will bully them and transfer them to "freezer" assignment (Personnel Holding and Accounting Unit) if they happen to be truthful to their works. Our ordinary staffers in every government offices will no longer be worried to perform their official functions that their bosses might fire them. Our decisions in court will be fair. Our prosecutors will now behave in accordance with "real" probable cause.

HIMIG NG KATARUNGAN

I

Buksan mo ang puso mo, bayan ay may pag-asa pa,
Susi ay baguhin lang, sistema ng hustisya,
Sistemang sandaang taon na, niloloko at inabuso,
Ng mga sakim, magnanakaw, at (ng mga) mang-aapi

Chorus I

Naisilang ang rebelyon dahil sa mga abusado,
Naghimagsik ang mga Muslim dahil sa diskriminasyon,
Bayan lubog sa pagnanakaw na di napaparusahan,
Sila’y naghahari dahil takot ng tao’y sinasamantala,
O Diyos ko…

II

Mga mamamayan ang bumuo ng pamahalaan,
Dahil sa mamamayan nagmula lahat ng kapangyarihan,
Pati na kapangyarihan ng paghusga, pero bakit sila ang nagdudurusa
Mga kawatan, abusado, mamamatay-tao di napaparusahan

Chorus II

Kung mamamayan ang may-ari ng kapangyarihan, bakit di nila babawiin at nang maayos (matapos) ang lahat?
At itayo nila Hukuman ng Mamamayan, sila na mismo ang manghusga,
Para tumupad sa batas lahat ng mga naghaharing uri
Para ang lahat mamumuhay na mapayapa at patas sa lahat ng pagkakataon,
Tayo na

(Repeat All)
