Philippines' very controversial issue, the death penalty. Death sentences are usually handed out to people who have been found guilty of capital crime. However, it is not an easy way to punish the guilty. It has a lot of ethical and religious matters tied to it for it also viol
ates the constitutional right of a human being. How can we tell if a person convicted for murder is really guilty? There may be a margin of error. Would it be right to wrongfully accuse someone and execute him/her? We should look at the ethical downsides This has been a very serious problem for civil rights groups, religious figures and other people who oppose the death penalty. Death sentences are handed down arbitrarily, not in a fair manner.
Philippines is severely experiencing crimes as well as drugs which destroys every Filipino's life. The war on drugs that leads to extrajudicial killings are relevant nowadays. "Why do we kill people who kill people to show killing people is wrong?" These words made me realize that we are dealt out to kill the criminal out in the person not the person.
Although they see to it reducing the rates of murders in the near future, it only creates another set of killings. As a concerned Filipino citizen, I refuse to bring back death penalty in the Philippines. I believe that every individual alive has a right to live and only the giver has the right to take it away, hence no mere immortal such possess such godly power. This must not be legalized in the Philippines and hoping to be abolished in the other countries.
