Parusang kamatayan sa pamamagitan ng lethal injection pormal nang isinulong sa Kamara

  Ang panukalang pagbabalik ng Death penalty law ang unang panukala na inihain sa Kamara de Representantes ngayong 17th Congress.      Sinabi ng may-akda na sina incoming Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez at Capiz Rep. Fredenil Castro na hindi na maitatanggi na kailangan ng ibalik ang pinakamabigat na parusa dahil sa paglaganap ng mga karumal-dumal na krimen sa bansa.      “The imposition of the death penalty for heinous crimes and the mode of its implementation, both subjects of repealed laws, are crucial components of an effective dispensation of both reformative and retributive justice,” saad ng panukala.      Ang mga papatawan ng parusang kamatayan sa pamamagitan ng lethal injection ay mga karumal-dumal na krimen gaya ng plunder, illegal drug trafficking, kidnapping at carnapping.      “Our criminal justice system has had to make do with penal laws that are perceived to be less than dissuasive. There is evidently a need to reinvigorate the war against criminality by reviving a proven deterrent coupled by its consistent persistent and determined implementation. And this need is as compelling and critical as any,” saad ng panukala.      Tatlong dating senador— sina Bong Revilla, Jinggoy Estrada at Juan Ponce Enrile— ay nahaharap sa kasong plunder sa Sandiganbayan kaugnay ng pagtanggap umano ng kickback mula sa mga non-government organization ni Janet Lim Napoles kung saan nila inilagay ang kanilang mga pork barrel fund.      “It is thus, imperative that this Congress in the exercise of its mandate to take every conceivable step to protect the honor and dignity and the very life of each and every law-abiding Filipino, pass in the most expeditious manner such laws re-imposing the penalty of death for the most abhorrent of offenses and provide for its execution.” 30
