Derrida’s unconditional view on forgiveness says: (1) it can never be demanded, never be expected, and never be foreseen that the unforgivable should or will be forgiven, and (2) that, therefore, forgiving the unforgivable must always be possible. If forgiving does not, as Derrida claims, belong to the order of exchange, then we cannot a priori exclude the possibility that it can happen; for it could happen, but no one may ever know when and where. Who can forgive? Can we? Only those whose rights were forfeited and trumpled by the fascist regime can forgive Arroyo. But not now. It can never be forced. It’s an unpredictable Event. Someday. In the future. For now…she should be in jail. This is Hell: she created the very condition for her own Hell. Hell is not in the netherworld. It is when the people decide traitors and exploiters to be executed. This is divine violence and retribution.”
