Philippine Death Penalty

The Philippine Death Penaly is officially DEAD. Yesterday, the Philippine Congress injected the final dose er vote to finally put the law to rest. Enacted a few years back, the death penalty law was revived to deter would be criminal to think twice and more. Maybe crime stats showed no effect at all so here we go. Just couple of years of enactment (or lack thereof), the capital punishment is down and out, yet again.

It shows the inconsitency of the Philippines Congress flip-flopping even in matters of life and death. Believe me after few years, with another set of congressmen and senators and another president is in charge, expect another drive to revive this thing. It's like when they have nothing to do, they go like, come on let's revive the law and toast some criminals.

May I suggest to postpone the removal of the Death Penalty just for a month. It maybe a brilliant idea, if we will just schedule the final session of lethal injection in the Phils, let's inject cyanide to those people responsible for the Philippine mess. Then, let's start building this country all over again and start fresh.
