do you think it is best to remove the death penalty in the philippines?

Answer 1

No. It should be mandatory everywhere.

Answer 2

The death penalty is an ineffective means of scaring people into lawfullness anyways. The US has the highest crime rates in the developed world and is one of the very few such countries with a death penalty enforced legal system.

In the Philippines, where a majority of crimes are committed by totally desperate people who have nothing to lose due to abject poverty and hopelessness (those in USA have no idea about this), a section in the statutes that advocate death for serious crimes is not and has not deterred most perpetrators. It may even be an incentive for them to facilitate a quick end to a wretched life.

Besides, does anybody realize that a frighteningly large percentage of incarcerated people in the country are innocent (street kids, delinquent bill payers, framed law abiders etc.) and are simply placed there by a corrupt justice system? I hate to have to execute these individuals.

Knowing this, I think it is so ironic that most Filipinos in-country would support the death penalty, not realizing that they themselves are only a hair's breadth and a blink of an eye away from being an unsuspecting victim of this system?

Answer 3

no, because death penalty is not a deterrent for a suicidal or mentally sick person. He knows what punishment will be commuted to him but still continues. Although such persons are few.The scary part of not having a death penalty is families of aggravated victims might put the law in their own hands. Also, policemen who are fed up with a criminal dishonoring their credibility would prefer a shootout or "salvaging" of whomever they don't like, due process of law will not be practiced, anyone can be a victim and die without investigation and trials. If ever the death penalty is returned, i prefer the guillotine be applied, saves energy, quick, pain is lesser, family of both the victims and convict will overcome the trauma immediately. Remember the movie BRAVE HEART? WIlliam Wallace played by Mel Gibson was beheaded as an act of mercy.

Answer 4

Absolutely. The Philippines does not have a jury system and a judge decide cases. Judges are not above corruption and bribery. Having lived there and knowing how corrupt everything is, the amount of poor people in jail is amazing. Yet, the elite politicians who continually pocket money that should go to their constituents roam free and with prestige.

While I find myself occasionally thinking that I wish serial rapists would be executed in the US as in the Philippines, philosophically, I feel that there are way more injustice happening in jail than there is actual justice.

Answer 5

Arroyo only removed the death penalty to appease the pope and hope her invite to him to visit philippines actually stands a chance

Answer 6

sure! I do have confidence that the Philippines desires the dying penalty! One time i became watching television in Cinema a million the identify became "Anak ni Janice" there is this one scene wherein a character call Larry suggested "I i will't take Janice by ability of prayers i'm going to take her by ability of tension we will abducted her" and one character interior the team suggested "have been going to do a incorrect factor we'd get caught and put in reformatory" Larry spoke back and suggested "no concerns there is not any dying Penalty interior the Philippines" the element is regardless of the incontrovertible fact that this is in user-friendly terms a action picture it nonetheless depicts the experience that criminals have the arrogance to do crimes because of the fact they are not afraid with our regulation, they are merely going to penitentiary in the event that they have been given caught or in the event that they have a good legal expert they might additionally be shown not accountable of the crime. fairly there may be against the dying Penalty like the persons asserting with regard to the Human Rights of this criminals yet f*** them criminals have not got rights they bumped off their rights as human from doing against the regulation like the mass homicide in maguindanoa or the girl raped and had her head cut back-off.

Answer 7

No because I believe the death penality is reserved for the worst crimes and is an effective deterrant. Besides the fact that the Philippine government could better use the money it spends on housing and feeding criminal for life. The money is desperately needed for infastructure projects and humanitarian aid.

Answer 8

Yes. The death penalty needs to be removed from every country, ESPECIALLY THE USA!

Answer 9

I don't believe in death penalty. We all have erred, wether it's the smallest sin, it is still sin for in the bible the definition of sin is "sin is the transgression of God's law."Jhn 3:4. We all are guilty before God but God is merciful and pardons us of our sin if we come to Him in humility and confess and forsake our sins. What about those criminals, are they excluded from that pardon. We all are the same, we are not higher than they. God looks at us equally. In Heb. 6:6 says "If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance,seeing they crucify the Son of God afresh, and put Him to an open shame." It's very clear we commit crime everytime we confess to God what we did and then sin again, we are as murderers as those people. We crucify Jesus everytime we sin. God knows what the motive and intents of the hearts so it's really only Him alone can give punishments. After all He is our Creator.

Answer 10

Yes, but now they must take into consideration the growing population in out penitentiaries.

These institutions must have an environment that would help rehabilitate our convictied prisoners and bring them back to give contribution to our society.

Answer 11
