We all know that Philippines crime rate is one of the most highest in the world.
Children are killed and raped by criminals, corrupt politician enjoys the people’s money and
rebels killed our soldier which led their family broken. Do you think it’s over? Do you think it’s
time to let criminals repay what they did to their victims? Do you think it is the right time to re-

Death Penalty or Capital Punishment is a law but when the administration of former President

Administration is forcing the re-imposition of death penalty. Now as I speak, the bill proposing
the re-imposition of death penalty is currently deliberated at the senate. But, the proposed bill is
not the same as the old law because it excludes rape, treason and plunder as a ground for
punishment of death penalty. If that bill passes and becomes a law without those major criminal
acts, the essence of true Death Penalty will be gone. It would be unfair for the victims of rape
who will suffer for a lifetime because of what criminals did to them. Reclusion perpetua is not

politicians who will remain stealing people’s money because they’re not afraid that they might
die because they do have money that can pay others to shut their mouth and how about the
family of the soldiers who died for our country because of fighting rebels? How can we give
them peace and sense of justice if the one who killed them is still living and enjoying life?
death penalty in all forms, without reservations because the criminality in our country is
widespread and very alarming for ordinary citizens and I believe that it is a great deterrent for
committing crime because criminals will think twice before doing such criminal acts ‘cause it is
also their life is in danger once they were caught and proven guilty.
How about you? What’s your side? Are you supporting or opposing this bill to
