What is Death Penalty?
➢ Death Penalty is the punishment of execution,
administered to someone legally convicted of a capital
crime.
➢ The death penalty is considered by many to be the
ultimate form of punishment for those who have committed
society's most heinous crimes, including rape and murder.
➢ Death punishment gives closure to the people involved
with the tragedy. It helps to the overpopulation problem in
the prison, instead keeping an intern 25 years or more.

Philippines has a varied
history and is currently

THINGS YOU
SHOULD KNOW
MORE ABOUT
DEATH PENALTY
Who are the individuals and groups involved and what do they want?
 The individuals that are involved are the oppressed and the family
of the oppressed.
A number of co-victims expressed sympathy for family members of
the condemned, but the death penalty process also can polarize the

with the death row inmate.

PROS AND CONS OF DEATH PENALTY
PROS:
 Criminals will get scared of committing crimes because they will
suffer such harsh punishment.
 Death penalty costs the government less. compared to the costs
of life imprisonment because they will be given the expenses of
food, health care and other costs that will sustain their lives.
 Death Penalty will reduce the number of crime rate in the country
because criminals will just be taking advantage of people without
harsh punishments.
9
CONS:
 There are innocent people wrongly executed.
 Critics also argue that death penalty does not really deter
criminals from committing crimes, since there are criminals who
suffer from mental illness and death sentence will not prevent
them from doing things they can no longer control without proper
medication.
 Death penalty is a form of revenge.
10
CONS:
➢ It is a platform that is anti-poor because accused people who are
poor are mostly the ones who get the death penalty, since these
people lack finances to pay for a powerful defense attorneys.

What was the agency’s response to the demands raised?
 Pope declares death penalty 'inadmissible' in Catholic teachings

The House of Representatives in March last year approved a bill
restoring the death penalty on third and final reading, but its
counterpart measure in the Senate remains pending as some senators
are not keen on calls to bring back such form of capital punishment.
Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said the Palace will “try
gentle persuasion” on the senators so they would pass the bill.
President Rodrigo Duterte has been hoping to reinstate the death
penalty as he wages his war on drugs and pursues an anti-crime
campaign.

How do people react to the decision made by the agency or institutions of
the government? Are they happy, dissatisfied, etc?
➢ In the case of death penalty, the Filipino people have different

reactions. There are those who agree to enforce this law because
it seems that this law will prevent the increase in the number of
cronies.
➢ And some who disagree saying why people that commit crime are
given shelter and food.
13
➢ There are also many who disagree with this law because
when it is implemented most of the victims are poor
Filipinos, because we all know that here in the Philippines if
you are poor you don't have power. Your life is just like a
small amount of money in the hands of the people who
have power, money and influence; they can literally buy
you.
