Despite special interests and powerful elites, the common people wield tremendous power when they become involved in the political process. But apathy is the custom in modern democracies.
Main Problems

Judiciary
The judiciary itself is aware of the problems of the judiciary. Solutions have also been proposed by different organizations and sectors regarding the issues of the judiciary.
Delays
"Justice delayed is justice denied."
Article III Section 16:
All persons shall have the right to a speedy disposition of their cases with regards to judicial, quasi-judicial and administrative bodies.
Article VIII Section 15:
All cases must be decided within 24 months from the date of submission to the Supreme Court.
Equality
Bribery
A bribe needs a lawyer to perpetrate the corruptive act. As long as lawyers uphold their sense of justice, the level of corruption and bribery in the judiciary would be minimized.
Social equality is a concept seldom fully achieved, whereby all members of a society have completely equal treatment, opportunity and access to resources. True social equality means that no matter what society members have or who they are, they are treated equally and have equal opportunities.
