We trust the bill will also be passed in the Senate considering that it is a vital tool in the Duterte administration's war on drugs and criminality.

Diyan sa ating batas, dapat po, kung tayo ay magpapataw ng kasalanan sa tao, ay ‘yung gumawa po na naaayon sa timbang ng kasalanan ng tao. Pero ‘yung death penalty, kung maaari, ay gamitin natin na ‘yung ating batas ay maging patas sa lahat ng tao—kriminal man o hindi kriminal ay maibigay sa kanila ‘yung justice na kinakailangan na makuha nila,

Kung sa drug lord, approve.

Previous Stance AGREE: Hence, to reinstate public order and the rule of law, there is an impending need to revisit and re-impose the death penalty on certain heinous crimes which as ratiocinated by R.A. 7659 or the Death Penalty Law, ‘is appropriately necessary due to the alarming upsurge of such crimes which has resulted not only in the loss of human lives and wanton destruction of property but also affected the nation’s efforts towards sustainable economic development and prosperity while at the same time has undermined the people’s faith in the Government and the latter’s ability to maintain peace and order in the country.

Ang pag-reinstate ng death penalty sa bansa natin, hindi po illegal, hindi po against sa mata ng goberyno, sa mata ng Panginoon.

If we have death penalty, I think before we implement death penalty, I think we should address our judicial system.

The death penalty is not a deterrent to heinous crimes. For as long as there is poverty, crimes are inevitable. Government must focus its efforts in eradicating poverty in order to eradicate heinous crimes to make the option of death penalty obsolete.

In the course nagbago ang kanyang (Sotto) pananaw. Ako gano’n rin, I’m also a convert. Alam niyo ba, napanood niyo ba sa Netflix ‘yong ‘The Life of David Gayle’. Napanood ko ‘yon eh, ‘yon aktibista ‘yon na kung saan sinet-up niya ‘yong sarili niya... Yon ang nakapagpabago ng aking attitude, ng aking pananaw, at ng aking perspective tungkol sa death penalty. Ako nag-author din ako, ilang beses kong infinile, isinama ko pa nga ‘yong plunder at saka ‘yong iba’t-ibang krimen bilang heinous crimes, dapat maging punishable ng death penalty. But then no’ng namulat ‘yong aking kaisipan na mas importante na ma-save ‘yong buhay ng isang inosente na na-convict que sa doon sa mag-execute tayo ng talagang convicted at talagang napatunayang talagang nagkasala. No’ng tinimbang ko ‘yon, sa tingin ko mas matimbang ‘yong ma-save ‘yong buhay ng wrongly convicted.

Isa 'yan sa ikinakalungkot natin kasi for the longest time, kontra talaga tayo dito [death penalty]...May death penalty na tayo noon at 'yung datos nagpapakita na hindi talaga siya naging deterrent sa pag-commit ng crime.
