                    [Summary] => 

Former police senior superintendent Michael Ray Aquino, who pleaded guilty to passing classified information about the administration to opposition politicians, is set to be sentenced on March 13.


He faces between 70 and 87 months in prison, and a $250,000 fine, the Asian Journal reported.


Aquino’s lawyer will be seeking a reduction of his sentence from 37 to 46 months. 


By pleading guilty, he avoided a possible life sentence and a trial that could have exposed the intelligence gathering techniques of the US government.

The opposition will not like the fate that has befallen Michael Ray Aquino, but it should serve as a lesson in the administration of blind justice.

In countries where the rule of law generally prevails, if you break the law, you must pay for it. There is no Machiavellian way out; the end cannot justify the means.
