Our guest for Episode 2 is Attorney Paolo Javier.  Atty Javier works for Lim and Associates and apart from that, he works as a law professor.  He also has an excellent youtube channel which provides free educational content for law students and budding lawyers or those who are interested in a specific legal matter.  We talk about several things including:



1. Why the Philippines finds itself where it is now.   



2. How come it seems like the average pinoy is powerless against the system and resort to Tulfo or James Deakin instead of going to organisations that can provide support and advocacy.



3. The reason why Atty Javier got into law and his foray into establishing a Brazilian Jiu-jitsu gym in Davao.



4. Wrongful convictions and the Hubert Webb case.



5. Why some laws in the Philippines are antiquated and sometimes ludicrous. 



6. The Cyber Libel Law.  Should I think twice when I post on social media?



7. The slow wheels of justice in the Philippines.



8. Is being wealthy the cheat code to sway a case into your favor?
