Do you think that the death penalty should be restored in the Philippines?

Question

Do you think that the death penalty should be restored in the Philippines?

Answer 1

Yes. We have no use for these criminals. We waste precious land in building jails, and food resources that should rather go to hungry innocent children and victims of catastrophes.



These notorious criminals have already wasted their time. Why waste ours on them?



Bring back the death penalty ASAP. There's war on terrorism. Why not wage war on crime?

Answer 2

Davao City has the answer for criminals. Iloilo, Manila, Cebu, in fact, the entire RP can learn a lesson from Davao City.

Answer 3

Yes it should be brought back. Reasons of criminal border between Poverty and greed. This is not right. The only problem with the justice system here in the Philippines is guilt is not always beyond reasonable doubt. There is always a price beyond reasonable justice. We would not know if the convict is really guilty or not.



Lord please change the Filipino's heart. Help every Filipino to find a way to be born again in spirit and experience a new mind and heart fashioned after You.

Answer 4

I am in favor of the death penalty law to be imposed again in the Philippines. Criminals have no fear anymore to do such heinos and horrible crimes especially if they are only hired by some politicians who only think of themselves and what they can get. I think it's about time that people need to ponder about the future of their children with a lot of criminals in their surroundings and the proliferation of drugs. Most prosperous countries of the world have death penalty laws. Of course, the juries with all their exhaustive efforts have to determine that the right criminals are punished.



In God's government (Theocracy) instant death penalty was permitted. We need an environment like that before during and even before martial law where almost all ordinary people do not have to fear walking in the streets during midnight. I miss those days....

Answer 5

i do believe that the philippines needs the death penalty, because of many crimes in the philippines already... they deserve what they do to people.... they deserve to die if they kill, rape,...

Answer 6

death penalty is biblical

Answer 7

dapat lng na maipatupad ang death penalty,mula noong pinarusahan si echegaray dapat tuloy-tuloy na yan .kasi naman yang mga kriminal na yan hndi na dapat binubuhay ang mga yan.imagine nung ginawa nila ang crime for example lng,inisip ba nila na masamang pumatay.tsaka yang mga habang buhay na nakabilanggo na yan wala nang pakinabang.pinapakain lang sila na wala namang ginagawang mabuti sa bansa,kung yang pagkain ng mga kriminal na yan instead ipakain na lang sa mga isa 0 two times a day lng kung kumain mabuti pa kaya kesa yang mga kriminal ang pinapakain .ptayin n lng ang ang mga life sentence na nasa kulungan,bawas pa sa pasanin ng bayan,

Answer 8

Yeah, I think our country needs death penalty to be restored again. I say this because those who commit crimes deserve it. I think they do not deserve to live and they are the ones that makes our country worse even to the eyes of other countries. They bring shame and terror to good people.

They waste important lives that are not theirs...



...I hope if this bill is approved, before they death penalize a criminal, they should make it confess first who's their leader. The roots should also be death penalized!

Answer 9

I think that the death penalty should be restored in our country because bad guys aren't frightened in our laws.For example if you are in a car jacking and killed you by the bad guys,your family think also that death penalty is so useful in our country.

Answer 10

that'll be good to decrease crimes

Answer 11

Hmm... My thoughts are..



Yes- if it will be used on high ranking officials guilty of corruption as to instill fear to the politicians. An infamous corrupt official must be used as an example immediately as to instill fear to the corrupt ones.

No- because justice can be bought and the innocent could be put into death

Yes- putting to death these criminals will increase our country's budget by reducing its cost on prisoners

No- because it won't be effective in reducing crimes like rape/murder/theft. Because when these crimes our committed, the doer do not actually think of "what are the consequences afterwards?" rather they are usually in a desperate state. As such it could be ineffective in curbing crimes.



I vote for yes =)

Answer 12

Death Penalty Philippines

Answer 13

Yes! I do believe that the Philippines needs the death penalty! One time i was watching TV in Cinema 1 the title was "Anak ni Janice" there's this one scene in which a character name Larry said "I i can't take Janice by prayers I'll take her by force we'll kidnapped her" and one character in the group said "Were going to do a wrong thing we might get caught and put in jail" Larry replied and said "no worries there's no Death Penalty in the Philippines"



The point is even though it's just a movie it still depicts the sense that criminals have the confidence to do crimes because they are not afraid with our law, they're just going to prison if they got caught or if they have a good lawyer they can even be proven not guilty of the crime.



Surely there would be against the Death Penalty like the People saying about the Human Rights of this criminals but f*** them criminals don't have rights they removed their rights as human from doing a crime like the mass murder in maguindanoa or the girl raped and had her head cut-off.

Answer 14

the death penalty is not a deterrent against crime; the deterrent would be the police force actually capturing the guilty parties and the law serving justice. data shows that there was no significant decrease in crime when we had it. violent crimes have not gone away, it just depends on who was killed and how much screen time the crime gets that gets people riled up.



The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), in its Apr. 9, 2007 website presentation titled "The Death Penalty: Questions and Answers," offered the following:



"[T]here is no credible evidence that the death penalty deters crime more effectively than long terms of imprisonment. States that have death penalty laws do not have lower crime rates or murder rates than states without such laws. And states that have abolished capital punishment show no significant changes in either crime or murder rates.



The death penalty has no deterrent effect. Claims that each execution deters a certain number of murders have been thoroughly discredited by social science research. People commit murders largely in the heat of passion, under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or because they are mentally ill, giving little or no thought to the possible consequences of their acts. The few murderers who plan their crimes beforehand -- for example, professional executioners -- intend and expect to avoid punishment altogether by not getting caught. Some self-destructive individuals may even hope they will be caught and executed."

Answer 15

If people are more responsible and have discipline, death penalty is no longer needed. But for situation of our country, I think the justice system needs to be improve first, since some innocent are jailed for lack of evidence, and most criminals have ties with the government. if death penalty is restored in this time. most criminals will have the government's back (most of the officials have ties to the government), and the innocent will get the death penalty.



Death penalty should be restored, if the government officials don't have ties with the current government.



If the Death penalty is restored with an improved justice system. it should only last long enough to to traumatized the people, then the government can abolish it again, since people have become a good citizens.



Take Europe for example, they have death penalty in the past. and those times, people became traumatized, so they learn to become a good citizen, and now they abolish it because of the low crime rate. In other words people need to be traumatized by the death penalty long enough, for the government abolish it, since death penalty is no longer needed.

Answer 16

No- based on the experience with the death penalty in the US. The death penalty isn’t an effective way to reduce crime, it costs a whole lot more than life in prison, and worst of all, risks executions of innocent people. The worst thing about it. Errors: The system can make tragic and irreversible mistakes. In 2004, Cameron Todd Willingham was executed in Texas for starting the fire that killed his children. Modern forensics has shown that the fire was accidental. There wasn’t even a crime. Over 130 other wrongly convicted people sentenced to death have been exonerated. DNA, is rarely available in homicides and can’t guarantee we won’t execute innocent people. Obviously, if someone is convicted and later found innocent you can release him from prison, but not from the grave. Crime reduction (deterrence): The death penalty doesn't stop others from committing murder. Homicide rates are consistently higher in states and regions with the death penalty than in those without it. The most recent FBI data confirms this. Keeping killers off the streets for good: Life without parole, on the books in 49 states (all except Alaska), also prevents reoffending. It means what it says, and spending 23 of 24 hours a day locked in a tiny cell is not a picnic. Life without parole costs less than the death penalty. Costs: The death penalty is much more expensive than life in prison. The high costs of the death penalty are for the complicated legal process, and the largest costs come at the beginning, for the pre trial process and for the trial itself. The point is to avoid executing innocent people. There are tremendous expenses in a death penalty case whether or not the defendant is convicted, let alone sentenced to death. Who gets it: Contrary to popular belief, the death penalty isn't reserved for the worst crimes, but for defendants with the worst lawyers. It doesn't apply to people with money. When is the last time a wealthy person was on death row, let alone executed?

Answer 17

The Death penalty should be an option in cases where there are certain criteria met. First; When there is absolutely no doubt as to the guilt of said convict. Second; when it is painfully obvious that there is no remorse in the convicted party for the crime or the victims. and Third; when the guilty party is resistant to the concept of rehabilitation.

I find it extreemly disturbing that the world we live in today seems to be rearing generations which refuse to be responsible for their own actions, have an entitlement attitude, and expect others to "pay their way". This is true in any country in the world. Those individuals which have made good choices and have worked hard and sacrificed to get where they are, are expected to "take care of" those lazy individuals which have made bad decisions and have refused to take responsibility for themselves. This is done through higher taxes and the "redistribution of the wealth" by those who think that they are wiser than we are. The fall will come as the general public learns that through voting they can garner themselves "gifts" from the coffers of government and the government goes bankrupt. Keeping individuals locked up for life is extreemly expensive on the public, and only continues to breed more contemptable behavior making these individuals harder and more expensive to control. The Death penalty should be the very last option, but it should be an option!

Answer 18

I don't think that restoring death penalty in the country is a good idea. First of all, we are all human beings here, we do not have the power nor authority to determine when a person's life should end even if that person has committed every possible crime in the book. Second, the prisons are made there for purpose. Third, I believe that no matter how evil a person can be, may he committed numerous crimes, he still has a bit of good inside of him and he has the power to change himself.

Answer 19

Killing people to show that killing is wrong, hmmm isn't that a little hypocritical?



If you want to punish a man for murder, then let them live in guilt in the confines of a prison.

It is more painful to remember the day you killed a person a cold blood than to just let people end your life quickly. You might even be doing the murderer a favor by killing him, as to end his psychological torment. Some alone time to think can do much of a difference to prisoners be it 20 years to life.



You can never really eliminate crime 100% Especially with a police force that is ineffective and outdated. In my opinion the Philippine National Police is relatively weak and underfunded due to corrupt officials and couple that with low budgeting you got yourself a weak police force. My suggestion pay your taxes and choose wisely who to elect as government officials & Keep kids in school and off drugs too give them a better chance for a future as law abiding citizens.



And by the way making the death penalty a deterrent won't do much good anyway, studies show that murder in the states where the death penalty is imposed is significantly higher than those without the death penalty. (http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/deterrence-states-without-death-penalty-have-had-consistently-lower-murder-rates)

Answer 20

NO because:



1. justice can be bought here



2. its nothing new that courts had made errors before, and not just Philippine courts. what if the person sentenced is the wrong person?



3. i think killing them is stooping to these killers level and would be a justified murder just because a man made law says so. not all man made laws are necessarily right. we might not be murderers in the eyes of man made laws but in the eyes of God we may as well be.



4. we'll all be murderers in the eyes of God. not just the lawmakers who passed such law, or the president who approved of it, or the judges/justices who only applied the law, or the doctors who gave the drugs. it would be just another sin of our country which we'll all have to pay and suffer for.



5. is there really justice in "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth"?



6. is the death penalty THE ONLY WAY to stop these crimes? its a penalty which means its only applied to those convicted. its not exactly a way of prevention. just because its imposed does not necessarily mean that these madmen will get scared and stop. its easy to cover up crimes with the right connections and with enough money. they can still kill, they'll just be sneakier and more careful from being discovered.

Answer 21

Yes, I do believe that Philippines needs to restore the DEATH PENALTY because of the increasing numbers of murders(which most of them HAS NO justice yet), homicides, rape cases, and the like. Without Death Penalty, the criminals has strong motives to do the act because they won't be punished anyway, because the Police Department is ALWAYS weak to catch them. With Death Penalty the number of criminals will decrease and will make a second thought.

Answer 22

No, death penalty doesnt really prevent crime does it. It doesnt help anyone. The criminal is not reformed. Besides the argument that this will scare criminals isn't true at all, criminals are aware of the risk when they consciously commit crimes. The Philippine situation is desperate and this leads people to do desperate things. Rather than sit there and wait for hunger and poverty to kill them, they commit crimes as a way out or die trying. If we put them in life sentences, the we might be able to save them or if that fails we lock them up in solitary confinement as long as possible.

The united states for its death penalty has killed innocent people accidentally, and that is blood on the governments hands. The Philippines shouldnt have more innocent blood on its hands than it already has.



The Philippine people dont even trust the government that much. Yet they are willing to trust their decision concerning human lives. Besides for the eye for an eye people out there, psychological torture of confinement is worse than the release of death. Look at the number of prison suicides worldwide. oh yeah, remember that Filipino maid who got executed a few years ago for murder in singapore? Look at the number of filipino posters using the look at singapore arguement. Irony.

Answer 23

NO TO DEATH PENALTY ....Death penalty violates many laws in respecting human life and most especially the law of the Lord therefore it is really immoral. Even though there are people being abused like rape victims, hazing victims, massacre victims, and the people being hurt like the family of the victims and etc who have desired to have death penalty but In my opinion having death penalty is not a solution in criminality in the world for the reason that death penalty will only end another life and killing another person cannot bring back the life of a person or victim’s life and only one more family will suffer. In addition the criminal has to pay while he is alive, for instance life imprisonment it is a big suffering already maybe because the criminal will die in prison and he/she can’t enjoy life freely.

Life is a gift from God and it is really sacred. He gives and only He can take it from us.

Answer 24

Corrupt Judiciary + Death Penalty = INJUSTICE



Good Judiciary + Death Penalty = JUSTICE



Philippines now do have Corrupt Judiciary so why should we imposed death penalty?



Philippines should clean its Justice system first before implementing this penalty or else justice will not be served right...



Remember the Vizconde case? hehehe

Answer 25

There are advantages and disadvantages for a death penalty. But I think it is better for us to be restored. Other countries implementing this law as a punishment to a heinous crime have more disciplined citizens and have a lesser heinous crimes because they are afraid to be one in the row of a death penalty. The disadvantage is the wrongful execution of an innocent person which is injustice that can never be rectified.

Answer 26

No, I don't think that death penalty is a deterrent against crime. The kidnap for ransom group, carnappers, kidnappers, etc. are even armed and will fight to death rather than be held captive, so its no solution. If they have money and power, they'll just use it to circumvent the law.



What we need is a true and just judiciary, not a politicized one. A good police system who are not concerned with promotion, rewards or awards but true investigation. A good legislation is needed, maybe like upgrade penalty for possessing illegal firearms/weapons to life inprisonment without bail, or solitary confinement for one year without lights to capital offenders. Maybe it is against human rights but they may think twice of doing the crime. These criminals may even think that death would be an escape for suffering (since they may not believe in hell) so they may prefer to die

Answer 27

Yes, it is one of the measures that will prevent unscrupulous individuals to commit a heinous crime. They will always argue that if only sentence to life, they are still capable of being pardoned and again set free. They will either be reformed or back to their usual behaviour of being a criminal. Revive death penalty and in the process improve the justice system which will take a long time until the country will get rid of corrupt people who are influenced by bribery.



Let us put a stop on the proliferation of hardened criminals instead of losing another innocent life in our society. Support capital punishment in the country!

Answer 28

Yes. Death is not a cruel and barbaric punishment. Imposing death penalty again would somehow deter criminals from committing heinous crimes. Besides, it would also ensure protection of the State from hardened criminals because they cannot commit another crimes since they are dead.



Death penalty for notorious criminals is not a violation of human rights. As a matter of fact, more Filipinos' human rights will be better preserved because more law abiding citizens will feel much safer because soulless criminals will be put to justice by death.





I wish they'll repeal that law wherein minors cannot be convicted for committing felonies.

Answer 29

Since death penalty was abolished. lot of crimes happened that need to have a suitable punishment to avoid recurence or diminish the said crimes. For me I am favor to restore the death penalty law here in the Philippines.

Answer 30

I believe should restore the death penalty. Criminals don't have any respect with our justice system. They know that they can get away easily, at the same tine increase the bail. Here in Singapore people have high respect with the authority ang government. It's not the democracy that make a nation a great nation. it's descipline....

Answer 31

I'm sure death penalty must be restored as capital punishment. I suggest execution by firing squad where Limsing was executed.

Hold upper and snatchers must be penalized cutting a part of his / her finger every time arrested and rapist should penalized by cutting his sex organ so those who planned to make such offense will think for several days to do the crime.

If penalty is still light for those crime I stated, the person involve will do the crime again and again.

Answer 32

The death penalty has no deterrent effect. Claims that each execution deters a certain number of murders have been thoroughly discredited by social science research. People commit murders largely in the heat of passion, under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or because they are mentally ill, giving little or no thought to the possible consequences of their acts. The few murderers who plan their crimes beforehand -- for example, professional executioners -- intend and expect to avoid punishment altogether by not getting caught. Some self-destructive individuals may even hope they will be caught and executed."

Answer 33

Take Europe for example, they have death penalty in the past. and those times, people became traumatized, so they learn to become a good citizen, and now they abolish it because of the low crime rate. In other words people need to be traumatized by the death penalty long enough, for the government abolish it, since death penalty is no longer needed.

Answer 34

yes im infavor of restoring the death penalty here in the philippines. it is quite so disappointing that government officials and law enforcers were the one manipulating the crime. the philippine government should clean its rank from bad officials. for example, instead of using these PNP people in protecting us in the urban area, why not the PHILIPPINE ARMY do it for us. knowing the army's training in figthing any war, i am sure they are the one for said job. These PNP people because of their civilian mentality doesnt know at all there real job.. what they only cared for is how to get huge amount of money from any source.



it is seldom for us to hear any controvercies involving the army to any crime. like in the kidnapping of the singaporeans, if the Rangers, Special Forces or the highly urbanized trained personnel of the army the Light Reaction Unit, for me no lives will be lost and it will not take that long and the media exposure might be contained... the PNP are what we call media concious people..



i also recommend that the PNP will be the one to operate in the field to fight our national enemy.



well back to our topic, if the death penalty will pushes through i think no high ranking officials from any branch of the government will be willing to finance the conduct of any activity in ther favor.



MY MIND!!!!

Answer 35

Death penalty may be a deterrent for some would-be criminals, but it should not stop here. The government should also look at existing laws and the judicial system to ensure that justice is and will always be served on a timely manner! You know what they say, once you kill a cow you got to make a burger! LOL Seriously, justice delayed is justice not served!!

Answer 36

Yes our country is democratic but this so-called "freedom" is getting abusive that most Filipinos are using it as an excuse (even their religion). Death penalty must be returned. I saw the news about a girl in Cavite being raped and beheaded, that is the most brutal thing that damn criminal did and he deserves to die (he was actually jailed before because of murder).



Do not listen what the Catholic church is saying because they're a bunch of hypocrites who are living in the past just like what they did against RH Bill. Now I'm a Catholic and I know that killing is against one of the Ten Commandments of God but if I were the president who will not forgive the accused and died from death penalty, I will just ask forgiveness to God and it's up to Him on what he'll do to me once I died.

Answer 37

�����





Yes, death penalty in the Philippines, must be re-imposed.It deters criminal or criminal minded persons from perpetrating heinous crimes.Look at what happened to the father of Venson Evangelista, a car dealer murdered recently by alleged carnapping syndicate. Before the gruesome murder of his son, he was an ardent supporter of "no death penalty." The murder of his son drastically changed his attitude. It only means that the proponents of death penalty are persons who have not experienced the same fate as he suffered. Let us not wait this "tragic" moment to happen in any one of us before we realize that indeed, the Philippines cannot live peacefully without the death penalty.Anyway, if the President is convinced that indeed the accused who had been sentenced to die is innocent, according to his perception, he has all the right to save the person from death.So the imposition is not absolute, there is always a remedy for those innocent,. but failed to defend themselves properly, in court, due to poverty.

Answer 38

Nope. Not really, unless they are actually going to implement what the punishment suggest they should do w/the criminals. Unless they're willing to execute those useless, inhumane, not worthy of a life human beings that are sadly to say part of the society then don't even bother restoring it. If they only could look past the idea that they are humans and instead look at what they did without remorse or disregard to their fellow human beings and execute them every week, then maybe, just maybe those criminals out there who thinks they're untouchables or for those who are planning out crimes against other people would have second thoughts...For once, maybe they'd think, OH ****!!! THEY MEAN BUSINESS.

Answer 39

Yes , I want the death penalty be back in our country. This is the best penalty given to all heinous crimes like drugs and killers. Because once the death penalty is imposed the people are aware to do such crimes. This criminals should be perished to have a peaceful country.

Answer 40

yes, because we pilipinos could not move forward due to the present peace and order situation in the country. the government should enforced and tightened up the law. Used the so called "kamay na bakal". the criminals were not afraid of doing such act, because the punishment was quite lighter. I will agree in this kind of penalty, IF, the government will not utilized more fund. I recommend to use rope or BITAY instead of the lethal injection or electric chairs in the early days. hung them up in the park or busy place of the city (where the crime was committed) to be able to show examples to the people.

Answer 41

The point is even though it's just a movie it still depicts the sense that criminals have the confidence to do crimes because they are not afraid with our law, they're just going to prison if they got caught or if they have a good lawyer they can even be proven not guilty of the crime.

Answer 42

Bakit ba nasuspende ang Death Penalty....dahil ba sa Pope o dahil sa ibang bansa( Sa ibang bansa may systema ang gobierno eh sa ating bulok ang systema tapos makigaya tayo sa kanila). Ano silbe ng Congress kung wala ng takot ang mga mamayan sa Batas. Papaano na kung 80% ng mga nasa Congress eh biktima ng mga krimen ayaw pa rin ibalik ang Death Penalty? Kailangan Systema sa PNP, NBI, CIS at Hukom, magdagdag ng additional Department para bantayan ang mga trabaho ng mga nasa PNP, NBI, CIS at Hukom tulad sa Military Police(mga professional). magulo tignang ang buhay ng mga pilipino sa ating society parang pusa at daga at may halu-pang aso laging magulo sa araw at gabi. Ubusin muna ng 50% ang population ng mga pilipino bago ibalik ang Death Penalty magandang Idea iyan! habang tumatakbo ang panahon aabot din ng 50% ang mauubos sa atin mga mamayan.Believe it or not!

Answer 43

guilty of corruption as to instill fear to the politicians. An infamous corrupt official must be used as an example immediately as to instill fear to the corrupt ones.

Answer 45

Even though years of imprisonment is a threat to their wrong doing, they still forgo because of their connections, money and power tp get away with the punishment.

Death penalty poses a warning to all the wrong doers to think a lot of times before doing the crime if not stop them. It makes people more disciplined. Just look at the era when capital punishment is still imposed. Everyone give his fair share of discipline in the society.

Answer 46

If the interest of the government is to deliver justice to his people, he must installed the just law for the benefit of the majority not only for those few whose only interest is for their selfish satisfaction. Rape and killing a heinous crime, meaning utterly evil, done specially to those who are children and innocent people, and therefore a capital crime, deserves only a life imprisonment? Is justice delivered? Is the Presidents goal the to served the Filipino people or only to those who are few.?

Answer 47

What we need is a true and just judiciary, not a politicized one. A good police system who are not concerned with promotion, rewards or awards but true investigation.

Answer 48

Death penalty must be restored in this country unless there is a real evidence. Try to read the Bible for you to know.

Answer 49

I think it's about time that people need to ponder about the future of their children with a lot of criminals in their surroundings and the proliferation of drugs. Most prosperous countries of the world have death penalty laws. Of course, the juries with all their exhaustive efforts have to determine that the right criminals are punished.

Yes.

MORAL FOUNDATIONS



Immanuel Kant: "If an offender has committed murder, he must die. In this case, no possible substitute can satisfy justice. For there is no parallel between death and even the most miserable life, so that there is no equality of crime and retribution unless the perpetrator is judicially put to death.". "A society that is not willing to demand a life of somebody who has taken somebody else's life is simply immoral."



Pope Pius XII; "When it is a question of the execution of a man condemned to death it is then reserved to the public power to deprive the condemned of the benefit of life, in expiation of his fault, when already, by his fault, he has dispossessed himself of the right to live." 9/14/52.



John Murray: "Nothing shows the moral bankruptcy of a people or of a generation more than disregard for the sanctity of human life." "... it is this same atrophy of moral fiber that appears in the plea for the abolition of the death penalty." "It is the sanctity of life that validates the death penalty for the crime of murder. It is the sense of this sanctity that constrains the demand for the infliction of this penalty. The deeper our regard for life the firmer will be our hold upon the penal sanction which the violation of that sanctity merit." (Page 122 of Principles of Conduct).



Plato: “Longer life is no boon to the sinner himself in such a case, and that his decease will bring a double blessing to his neighbors; it will be a lesson to them to keep themselves from wrong, and will rid society of an evil man. These are the reasons for which a legislator is bound to ordain the chastisement of death for such desperate villainies, and for them alone”





William A. Petit, Jr.: "Justice is the first virtue of social institutions," according to philosopher John Rawls. It transcends national borders, races and cultures. The death penalty is the appropriate societal response to the brutal and willful act of capital felony murder. Every murder destroys a portion of society. Those murdered can never grow and contribute to humankind; the realization of their potential will never be achieved. I support the death penalty not as a deterrent or for revenge or closure, but because it is just and because it prevents murderers from ever harming again. By intentionally, unlawfully taking the life of another, a murderer breaks a sacrosanct law of society and forfeits his own right to live. (In a home invasion, Dr. Petit was, severely injured, his wife Jennifer and their 11 year old daughter Michaela were raped and murdered. Both daughters, Michaela and Hayley were burned, alive.)



John Locke: "A criminal who, having renounced reason... hath, by the unjust violence and slaughter he hath committed upon one, declared war against all mankind, and therefore may be destroyed as a lion or tyger, one of those wild savage beasts with whom men can have no society nor security." And upon this is grounded the great law of Nature, "Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed." Second Treatise of Civil Government.



Saint (& Pope) Pius V: "The just use of (executions), far from involving the crime of murder, is an act of paramount obedience to this (Fifth) Commandment which prohibits murder." "The Roman Catechism of the Council of Trent" (1566).



Jean-Jacques Rousseau: "In killing the criminal, we destroy not so much a citizen as an enemy. The trial and judgments are proofs that he has broken the Social Contract, and so is no longer a member of the State." (The Social Contract).

It could be imposed on special cases (like in maguindanao massacre?)



But "Who" can/will impose the death sentence?



I'm in for restoring the capital punishment, but it's use must be strictly monitored and limited. Criminals, no matter what they are do deserve a second chance

Answer 62

Yes. Philippines need this kind of law of punishment. So for those people who commits cannibalistic crime may not just laugh they must suffer the pain they gave to the family they victimized.And after all Philippines is so over populated of criminals, I think they must vanish to be able the other good Filipinos live peacefully!

Answer 63

yes...if the death penalty is the only one way to prevent crime I believe that the Philippines should implement this..

Answer 64

no. it is not a deterrent against hardened criminals like carnappers, kidnappers, bank robbers and the like. Such a penalty may only be likened to a period in a series of words that makes up a sentence in a paragraph.



What the gov't MUST do is to stop blaberring in front of TV cameras and go to work. CONGRESS should take a second hard look at our penal laws; the EXECUTIVE to improve law enforcement capabilities of the PNP and the jail managemenet system and for the Supreme court to revise the rules on criminal procedure. Congress should amend our laws denying REPEAT OFFENDERS the right to bail even if their cases are still pending in courts. It is a reality that even if these criminals are arrested, charged in court, they can just post bail and once granted, jump bail and evade arrest until rearrested for another crime. In as much as a person is presumed innocent and by reason of such innocence has the right to bail unless otherwise proven guilty by a competent court in a fair trial, doesn't WE, the public in general. deserve to be protected against such criminals who have no regard for the law? Practically, these repeat offenders are making a MOCKERY of our judicial processes, lenient as it is. It is therefore a MUST, to keep these types of criminals in jail and for the gov't to ensure that we have the facilities to keep them in. The right to bail should be denied to persons who have no regard for the laws that provides inherent rights giving them the opportunity to continue doing their criminal acts with impunity. Put in a realistic perspective, let's look at it this way. A person commits a petty crime and finds out once arrested that he can post bail easily and is out on the streets in a matter of hours. Doesn't this fact make such person bolder the next time?



On the part of the executive branch tasked with the prosecution of crimes, perhaps it is already high time to increase the amount of bail and multiply by the Nth fold such amount depending on the number of times an arrested person has already been charged with a crime.



Another point these gov't should also reconsider is the denial of the issuance of PERMIT TO CARRY FIREARMS to responsible firearms owner. Certainly, licensed firearms can not be used to carry out crimes as these can easily be traced. With the high ratio of policemen as against the civilians they wish to protect, the PNP has miserably failed on these aspect to serve and protect. Criminals are only but humans who thrive on peoples fears, choosing their victims well who are unarmed and helpless. The denial of this administration to issue PTCFOR to responsible individuals have made bullies of these criminals. Continue to deprive law-abiding citizens the right to protect themselves and only criminals will have guns. Certainly, we do not wish to make a wild west of a civilized society but as the saying aptly goes, "EVIL TRIUMPHS WHEN GOOD MEN DO NOTHING..."

Answer 65

yes, it should because a lot of crimes happened now in the Philippines. i think the 1st one to be prosecuted and be sentenced of death penalty where those involve in DRUGS syndicate.Maybe without this DRUGS this will lessen the crimes.These drugs where the one who corrupted the mind of the people.



Go go go..please impose the death penalty right away so that they were be able to suffer or feel what they did to their victims!

Answer 66

possible yon, kasi even rape case now bata at matanda wala nang sinasanto ang mga kriminal na yon..so nanawagan ako sa kay Pres. Aquino pag-aralan itong mabuti, tumaas na ang crime rate natin sa bansa..hope may sulosyon na si Mr. President dito as soon sa possible...

Answer 67

Not really. The government should look at changing the Justice system first before going to death penalty.

Answer 68

YES! to death penalty and NO! to church politicking

Answer 69

YES!!!! and it BADLY NEEDS IT!!!!!!! it is a deterrent against crime for sure but having death penalty is not enough you also need FAST!!!!!! resolution on CASES!!!!!



Imposing this LAW and executing it promptly will free congested prisons as well.

Answer 70

yes, death penalty is the solution to decrease the criminals in our country and give a remind to those people wants crime!

Answer 71

YES of COURSE... we need capital punishment of DEATH specific on the identified , classified crimes as heinous. The only people that do not agree to the idea are those who are committing are the lawmakers themselves because they are protecting their own misdeeds... They are committing crimes against the people who install the government itself. Certainly imposing death penalty would not totally stop crimes... but we need it to draw the line between good and bad and EVILS. The best safeguard against crime is to see to it that authorities are implementing the LAWS.. which are debated, installed and enacted by the LAWMAKERS who are also the so called LAWBREAKERS.

Answer 72

To convict those wealthy and influential criminals would take years and will eventually be released from prison. Ordinary citizen commited a crime receive a swift conviction, nobody cares, nobody ask. It is better to see a criminal walk unpunished than an innocent person put to death by Justice system stupidity. If we are a country like Singapore my answer is YES, Unfortunately in Philippines.... my answer is NO.

Answer 73

no...it would be bad if the person condemned was the wrong one...look at hubert webb-he was innocent and yet he was punished for a crime he did not commit. If the death penalty were imposed, that wrong would never have been corrected since he would have been dead.



this also raises a moral issue: who is really right? after all, according to Einstein's theory of relativity, everything is based on a point of view (relative to something). in their eyes, maybe what they did was right. in our eyes, what they did was wrong. who is to say that they are wrong and that we are right or vice versa?



another thing is that this is an enormous responsibility-to condemn a man's life. although it may be the law, it doesn't mean that it is right. how could man have enough authority to snuff a fellow man's life like that? only God should have that power-its kinda like your neighbor killing your dog since he kept on dumping his crap on his lawn-what the dog did was wrong, but he had no authority to kill your dog. its the same case here. I would also feel bad for the poor person who would actually condemn the person's life and the person who would carry it out-how are they going to live with the guilt?



one last point: if, hypothetically, the death penalty was actually enforced in the Philippines, wouldn't that make the judge presiding over the case and the executioner (or whatever you call the person who would administer the lethal injection, activate the electric chair or whatever) murderers as well? wouldn't it be fair to the person being executed for the person who sentenced him to be executed as well? and if so, who would preside over the judge's case? shouldn't he be killed as well? if this system were put in place (judges being killed as well) no one would impose the death penalty since it would be like committing suicide. this would make the death penalty useless-a waste of precious time. and if it were not in place, then it would also be unfair to the person being executed-is it just because one is "the law" he is safe from being condemned for, what is basically the same crime? and who is to say that the system won't be biased/not to be influenced by the public will and the case be decided just by the merits of the arguments?



Just food for thought...

Answer 74

Yes Of Course just look at the Law in KSA and Singapore, why their crimes not same as what we had almost everyday, It is a deterrent all of filipinos aware on that but because of politics and relegious this penalty was not deterent, hope those big crimes will hit them so that so they will realize after all...No need to ask, simple answer If u kill criminal automatic will reduce number criminals, including budget of govt..If judge in favor of criminals, I believe they will not stay longer in this world..but hte real criminals will hesitant to the crimes, why we wont try on it..Now.

Answer 75

due to the said crimes, it might be the right time to restore the death penalty rule. if the church or other people thinks that it is inhumane then they should ask themselves what is more inhumane? the killing or harming of the innocent or the due punishment of the criminals. the people who are against the death penalty are the ones who are doing the said crimes and afraid of getting punished.

Answer 76

The law is made with the corresponding penalty for man and not man for the law, and it is always the majority who will prevail. The purpose of imposing the law with the penalty is to process justice and mercy to the people, but its entire objective is not only to deter crime but first to satisfy the demands of justice, then mercy will follow. With regards to mercy, that process can no longer be applied to those who have committed the capital crime who deserves to received the capital punishment which is death.



If the interest of the government is to deliver justice to his people, he must installed the just law for the benefit of the majority not only for those few whose only interest is for their selfish satisfaction. Rape and killing a heinous crime, meaning utterly evil, done specially to those who are children and innocent people, and therefore a capital crime, deserves only a life imprisonment? Is justice delivered? Is the Presidents goal the to served the Filipino people or only to those who are few.?

Answer 77

Yes, death penalty should be restored. This is the only way that we can decrease the crimes in our country, and should not only be applied to carjackers, kidnappers and murderers but also to corrupt government officials.

Answer 78

Death penalty must be restored in order to put deterrent to law less elements and corrupt officials in the government. Death penalty should be given to those who commit heinous crimes and must be executed in public and with live TV coverage. Human rights advocates should consider the majority of the people who suffers because of the acts of these lawless elements. These kind if criminals does not consider who their prey are. Why defend them of their HUMAN RIGHTS?

Answer 79

yes! a lot of people today are not afraid of doing criminal offenses..even heinous crimes because they knew they can get away with it. Even though years of imprisonment is a threat to their wrong doing, they still forgo because of their connections, money and power tp get away with the punishment.

Death penalty poses a warning to all the wrong doers to think a lot of times before doing the crime if not stop them. It makes people more disciplined. Just look at the era when capital punishment is still imposed. Everyone give his fair share of discipline in the society.

Answer 80

Yes, my mother land needs a capital penalty. Like the other country especially on the arab country like Dubai in UAE, there's a lot of people there with different nationality but then the crimes are very minimal because of strict and descipline that the government applied. I admire the government in Dubai, they have the system to follow and they have 1 man ruler with the followers with strong believes on the their ruler.

Answer 81

i believe it must be re-impose, but not now as the justice system in the philippines is very weak and bias as most say. but my point is this, starting from the time of marcos up to the present status of the society, i saw extreme dominion. during the administration of marcos (martial law), the extreme part is in the abuse of the authority and as aquino pioneered the democracy, the extreme part belongs to the people(mass), they have the freedom to do anything therefore, there is another abuse. i believe that death penalty will do the balancing between the two parties.

Answer 82

I do not agree with the restoration of death penalty, yes in Singapore they do have death penalty but they also have shorter jail term compare to us. I think what really separate Singapore to Philippines is that they perform lashes to convicted criminals. For example rape in Singapore is not covered by death penalty but covered with a lot of lashes to your butt. Can you imagine that being done in the Philippines we will not have to worry about crowded jails and for sure people will have to think twice before committing any crime...

Answer 83

The death penalty is not a detterent to crime. The high probability of being caught is. Let's face it. The police force in the philippines are not that efficient in solving crimes and capturing criminals. oftentimes the police work in conivance with the criminals. the justice system is not effective also.

Answer 84

yes of course...the gov. should make it to implement the death penalty.the criminals are not afraid to kill.when we will push this?we have to make now...where is the human rights of the victims.?and the justice?

Answer 85

for me it's a big NO...sa klase ng sistema ng gobyerno ng pilipinas kung saan ang namamayani ay mga makapangyarihan at mayayaman,ang tanging maapektuhan lamang ay mga mahihirap na tao na walang kakayahang magbayad ng batas.This will only become biased and unfair between a poor & a rich person..Kung ang gobyerno natin ay kasing tulad ng singapore,china atbp na hindi tumitingin sa yaman ng isang tao kundi sa klase ng krimen na ginawa...pwede pa cguro...

Answer 86

absolutely, yes! why? because the criminals now a days are widespread. If the death penalty will be imposed for sure crime will also be reduced.



Also, too many criminals now in Muntinlupa what they are going to do it, are they just going to collect like valuable antiques?

Answer 87

YES. foods and oxygen and space they occupy are used for criminals... the food is wasted for goddamned people. i think feeding the hungry is much better than feeding criminals... and what's the sense of having lifelong imprisonment... its just like living in a "death-like" state.

Answer 88

Some how,it wont be a deterrent to a would be criminals,In a way those goons will think twice doing so,Definitely,it would reduce the number of crooks out there...once this capital punishment is back in place.

Answer 89

Yes! I totally agree! When death penalty was existing heinous crimes were lesser as far as I saw in the news. Lethal injections is humane as far as I know.

Answer 90

I'm all for it!!!! Death may not be the best solution but we're sure to make people think twice of committing the crime. Death to all Drug Pushers and Smugglers, Murder cases, Government Corruption, and stupidity.

Answer 91

NO.

"Dyos lang pwedeng bumawi sa buhay ng tao..mabuti man o masama".

Answer 92

Absolutely yes, but, the big problem is, THE CATHOLIC CHURCH. obviously, mahirap sa mga politician in the philippines na banggain ang simbahang katoliko when it comes to this matter (Death Penalty).

Answer 93

should be,.isama na din yung nationwide gun ban at ilimit ang sobrang press freedom ,.parang dito sa singapore,.parang me martial law,.hahaha

Answer 94

If there's to improve i would say its the justice system in our country. I think being in prison was like living in hell, if i were the criminal i would rather choose to have death penalty than to spend the rest of my life in jail. ( that's my thought if i were the criminal.) what if a false person sentenced to death? there's no way we can restore their lives just like the case of Jason Webb, if we have death penalty during that time he would be dead by now. After 15 years in jail he'd been proven not guilty. How tragic right. so i guess it's not the solution.

Answer 95

i believe death penalty should be restore in the philippines, what for we our keeping those criminals? we the good citizen of our country keep on working to pay taxes which these criminals are eating, staying in their rooms for free, having a security 24hours 7days a week,keeping them safe.



if the court of justice say that they are fair, and give penalties as what the criminals did, then i don't think they should be afraid to have death penalty for they know that they are sentence in accordance of what they have done.

Answer 96

If Our Judiciary System can provide fair Trial & Justice... Then, Reviving Death Penalty is a Must.

Answer 97

yes..absolutely with the crimes now a days that penalty should be implemented

Answer 98

Most of you answered YES..



think outside the box..

what about those not guilty people that was sent inside the prison..

do you think they deserve Death?

Answer 99

Yes I do. However, I don't think that is the best solution to the problems or that stops criminal minds from committing crimes.

Answer 100

No,...Hindi dapat ipatupad ang death penalty dito sa Pilipinas. Kasi hindi naman maayos ang justice system dito. Baka makasentincya pa nang taong inosente.

Answer 101

it may depend on the case / crime committed by suspect and whenever he is proven guilty. But then, death penalty might be a tool to lesser crimes and can give justice to the family of the victim most especially victims who are at their early ages.:)

Answer 102

NO! death penalty applies only to the 1st world country where justice system is strong. Alam naman natin na sa pinas eh maraming nakulong na walang sala. pano yun? pag after years napatunayang wala palang sala? just like web case na umabot ng 15years? mga ganun.... napagbintangan, na frmeup, pinakulong ng mayaman at etc. sabi nga ni PNoy "we can't turned back the time" pag napatunayan ng ilang taon na wala cyang kasalanan.



At Diyos lang ang may utoridad na kumoha sa ating buhay...

Answer 103

Yes definitely!!!! Dapat nga firing squad in public view para lalo matakot mga criminal

Answer 104

definitely needed in our country...

Answer 105

Yes! Some Religions might oppose, but the Bible itself supports the Capital Punishment.

Answer 106

yes for me I'm agree ipatupad ulit ang batas na ito mababawasan ang mga criminals like other country na may ganitong batas.

Answer 107

YES! criminals should be taught a lesson..kung pwede pa nga, putulin ang dapat putulin at ng magtanda sila!

Answer 108

Yes, I believed in death penalty, this is the only remedy to punish those criminals , who's abusing the innocent and I hope judgement would be fair.

Answer 109

Whether it is deterrent against crime or not hardened criminals should be extinguished away from the streets of a civil society.. They always posed a danger to peace loving citizens..

Answer 110

I believe, we need to restore back the death penalty in our country "IF JUSTICE IS JUSTIFIED". Pero kung ang mabibitay lang ehh yung walang kasalanan dahil magaling ang abogado palusutin ang tunay kriminal or mayaman talaga ang tunay na kriminal, ehh kawawa naman ang mahirap na inosente na mabibitay. Sa katulad kong ordinaryong mamamayan, natatakot akong maglakad kahit sa sariling lugar namin dahil laganap ang drug addiction. Kaya maraming pinoy ang tumitira na lamang sa ibang bansa kahit hindi sila masaya. Isang bagay din na pwede ibalik yung "CURFEW" sa mga lugar na dapat. This may help to lessen the crimes...

Answer 111

Killing cannot be paid by killing. I say no to death penalty. These criminals may have done something that shouldn't be done but they are humans, vulnerable to change, to change for the better. If I say I want the man who killed my father be killed then I am no more than a criminal too.

Answer 112

There are two things about this death penalty thing:



The Good thing is death penalty is the one of best law that all law offenders will scare out of their bones.



The Bad thing about this death penalty. Aside from having a fall guy in each cases subjected to death penalty. The Government has no f**king balls to pull it off this law. Our honest politicians has no guts and political will to stand to their beliefs.

Answer 113

A sufficiently hard punishment does prevent crime as it prevents the punished from committing subsequent crimes. And since the majority of crime is committed by repeaters, and a typical repeater commits dozens to not rarely hundreds of crimes throughout one's career, an effective treatment of repeaters early on in their career will necessarily prevent the bulk of all crime. This is a logical and mathematical necessity, which has also been proven in practice wherever and whenever local authorities have temporarily tightened their policy regarding repeaters. - copied.

Answer 114

I think not. Our government must be very watchful/strict to those who have guns. The check points should be strengthen, the tool gates must have a check points and all the barangays, municipalities, provinces and cities. A K9 dogs are very helpful. If there are many check points in our country the criminals may think twice to commit crimes.Our government must have a law that whoever pass the checkpoints must fill-up a form of having a fire arms, they must submit their (ex.)names, address, office address, landlines, home address, meralco bill so forth and so on and in an event that they not comply with the rules of the check points they must not enter the said area, he/she must comply to the requirements before entering in the area. Our government should make a special action unit that their main objectives is to determine who are the people pass the check points that have a gun/guns or who are the people who have guns in communities and to spot the names/people that have a bad record at the barangays because they are the most possible suspect if their is a crime in that area. And a law of door to door campaign; to check who has guns in the barangay, municipalities, provinces, regions and cities and must fill-up in the form or another form of having a fire arm. In that scenario, if their were crime happened in an area, it's easy to determine the criminals.

Answer 115

DEATH PENALTY should implement right now... I agree that Davao has lowered the rate of crime because of their mayor (Duterte). And it would be helpful to our country to lessen our population.

Because I have no trust in our authority like what happen to SC the case of vizconde massacre and hayden kho issue. It is so obvious that the importing thing in this earth is only MONEY, and anything can be resolve if you have money. Also like pacquiao, why should he ran for congressman if he can help his fellowmen by donating his money through a foundation Since he could have billion dollars in just one fight maybe he could pay our debt.

Answer 116

this is a government created by the people and it is for the people themselves. indeed, the government should protect the people regardless of their status - whether a criminal or not. when we allow death penalty we allow the government to destroy the very same entity it deems to protect.

the purpose of the conviction are both remedial and preventive, it provides remedy to those victim of injustice and prejudice and it provides prevention as to scare away future delinquent by imposing grave penalties, but as much as high penalties we can impose, we cannot play the role of God no matter how aggrieved or powerful we are.

perhaps the best thing we can do is to give chance for the delinquent to change their life, and if it does not work, it calls us to strive more on changes, but never on taking away what does not belong to us.

Answer 117

PROs: Guilty criminals due to commiting hideous crimes will be given corporal punishment thus creating a scare to others. You do crime you die. I hope this also counts in the drug traffickers...(root cause of some hideous crimes are due to drug addiction)



However....



CONs: what about those criminals that were sentenced with out due process..(say Hubert)..it has to be guilty beyond reasonable doubt before we even sentence someone to die. It would be nasty if someone who is not even a criminal goes to death row. (anyway a huge number of inmates confesses innocense)



Weighing both sides, i would agree to bring Death Punishment back.

Answer 118

Death penalty is only for the poor, And yes it can be bought. I agree with death penalty, but give the people example that this death penalty is for everyone not only the poor. Sample-an yang Lintek na Ampatuan na yan.

Answer 119

Criminals, terrorists and rebels are just toying with the law enforcers, justice system and the government. It is long overdue to teach these maniacs their rightful places. Adapt the capital punishments from other countries especially Gulf countries. Aside from heinous crimes, petty crimes should be punished heavily. Government officials wants to please the church, human rights groups and wrong-doers that's why crimes are increasing exponentially.

Answer 120

yes, because human will not stop what there doing until they die.

Answer 121

definitely NO!!!!!! death penalty will never solve any of our country'y real problem like poverty, graft and corruption and slow, corrupt, justice system.

Answer 122

hell yah bring it on...they deserve to die who ever do crime to their own kind..kill them all like I did an Iraqi

Answer 123

That's a big YES for me, i believe we should bring back the DEATH PENALTY..and let's begin with HANGING the masterminds of organized crime syndicates from the PNP and the AFP..

Answer 124

NO...

Answer 125

yes..death penalty should be back,so that criminals wil be afraid to do any act against law..

Answer 126

YES

Answer 127

yes i think death penalty is need.but i afraid na ang masestensyahan ang mahirap lang ,,,,at ang mga inosente na walang kasalanan....pag mayaman ang may kaso extend extend lang ang kaso..... gaano kabigat ang kaso malusutan din lalo na manalo ang kandidato ni mayaman may kaso..... if e implement ang death penalty.........hope the death penalty is for the sinner not for the ennocent and for the poor....

Answer 128

It's about time. These uneducated people won't learn a damn thing tl the line is drawn. It's simple, you do someone wrong, we take your life. How simple can it be? To be honest, I am against this, but is torture allowed? No! So, the government needs to grow a pair start implementing this. Only then this ''bastardos'' will learn.

Answer 129

instead of death penalty,life in prisonment much more better.

Answer 130

yes maganda talaga yang death penalty just like in other country such as saudi arabia, singapore and others basta lang mapapatunayan at mapaparusahan eh yon totoong criminal at di yong inosente..gaya nga ng sabi ni bobby nabibili ang hustisya sa atin..so di lang yong death penalty ang solution pra mabawasan ang crimen sa pinas.pati n rin yong bulok n hustisya minsan sa atin yon ang sabay n resolbahin.

Answer 131

We need death penalty but we also need to apply justice fairly, rich or poor should be equally treated without fear and favor. Believe we have many good laws,the only problem is the enforcement.

Answer 132

An eye for an eye... a tooth for a tooth

Answer 133

penalty agad ang usapan... siguro mas maganda ang una nyung i-improve yung pag huli sa krimenal as in sa tamang krimenal... isipin nyo nga kung si Hubert Webb if ever lng na naparusahan ng kamatayan dati.. tpos biglang ngayon sasabihin hindi pala sya ang tunay na krimenal... maibabalik pa ba yun buhay nung tao? kahit naman anung penalty nyo kung mahina naman sa pagtugis ng mga krimenal wala rin kwenta.

Answer 134

yes, we need to restore the death penalty because of the rising numbers of heinous crimes.

Answer 135

death pen wud onli be gud to this country if we are assured that the tru perpetrators are the ones who will suffer the consequences,we all know for a fact that onli the poor, neglected and powerless pipol are being put to sleep, i think that the best start for this is ANDAL AMPATUAN JR.....

Answer 136

yes, of course it's a deterrent, unless all criminals are high on drugs at wala na talagang kinakatakutan, kaya bago pa mag drugs at kumatay ng tao mga yan, magbitay na ng mga tig dalawang drug lords, carnaper, kahit cellphone snatcher, magsama na rin ng protektor na pulis, gaya nyang mga carjacker na yan, matatalas isip nyan at matatalino yan pag nag operate, sa sobrang talino nila alam din nila na di sila mabibitay mahuli man sila basta di sila lumaban, isang operasyon lang ng mga galamay nila may pampyansa na sila, tapos napapanood pa ng mga yan kung gano kabulok judicial natin dito, convicted na napapalaya pa basta may pera

Answer 147

NO! human beings have no right at all para gumawa ng batas to kill another human.only GOD can do that! para sa akin dapat munang AYUSIN ang paraan ng pag resolba ng krimen mula sa paghuli ng TOTOONG kriminal,ebidensiya,mabilis na prosecution.at gamitin ang rational mind (makataong kaisipan) at huwag pairalin ang emosyon(galit).Ang mga gumagawa ng krimen ay ginagamit lang ng demonyo para makakuha sila ng dadalhin sa impierno.Papano kung kamag anak nyo o kayo ang gamitin,gusto mo bang patawan ng death penalty?Pag isipan nyo yan!

Answer 154

Mga kababayan, huwag natin ikumpara ang bansa natin sa ibang bansa. Kailangan natin ng sariling sistema na mas nakakabuti para sa atin. Hindi porke't na gumana sa ibang bansa ang kanilang pamamalakad sa gobyerno, ay ibig sabihin na nakakasigurong nakakabagay ito sa atin.



Sang ayon ako dito sa pagtrato sa krimen, pero sigurado akong makikiosyoso nanaman ang simbahan kahit na labag sa batas (Konstitusyon ng Pilipinas 1987 Artikulo 2 Seksyon 6). Sana ay may malakas na loob sa atin na ipaglaban ang ating konstitusyon. Gising, mga Pilipino!
