For instance, if you are unfortunately robbed in the Philippines, the first reaction is of course to call the police. The police will ask about the details of the incident, location, lost items, and suspect characteristics, check surveillance footage, and ask passersby. If things go well, they might catch the person. But the problem is, what to do after catching them?
Often, even if the suspect is caught, if you do not formally press charges, they are likely to be released after a few days. Even if you do prosecute, the judicial process is very sluggish, and it could take months or even years from filing the case to the verdict, during which you must continuously appear in court to testify, which is both mentally and time-consuming. Many victims give up halfway through.
Moreover, the courts are severely backlogged, and the process is slow, allowing many suspects to be bailed during the trial period and even continue committing crimes; cases with insufficient evidence are often dismissed, and the suspects end up having "sat in jail for a few days for nothing."
Therefore, you will find that in the Philippines, catching many criminals is "useless," not because the police do not arrest people, but because the judicial system cannot keep up, the cost of litigation is too high, and as a result, it is difficult to convict even the guilty.
Why are many criminals in the Philippines caught and then released? The truth may be more complicated than you think.

Bao Long still hasn't been caught; he's really useless.
Give money and you can get out, why haggle?
You can understand political issues, so you won't be blindly following anymore.
You wouldn't understand this, many kidnappers are in collusion with those inside.
The truth is, pay the money and they will release the person immediately, understand?
The cost of crime is too low in this country.
The so-called democracy is just populism that exploits the rules.
"Who would catch you if you have money?"
