EXECUTION SAVES ADDITIONAL INNOCENT LIVES
MANILA, PHILIPPINES- The House of Representatives still debates the statement of Pres. Rodrigo Duterte regarding the re- imposition of death penalty for the second time in his Statement of the Nation Address (SONA).
The Philippines has had an on and off administer with death penalty which really started in 1987. During 1980’s, there were only few carried out judicial executions under the martial law. The proof is strong that death penalty serves as the deterrent against crimes. In the recent survey, there is an increasing rate by 46% and majority of the crimes are drug-related offences and this matter needs a strong response.
First, Pres. Rodrigo Duterte had clarify his statement that this is only effective to those who commit heinous crimes such as plunder, drug related crimes and rape under the House Bill of the revised penal code of 4727. Instilling fear in criminals would be a fitting response to restore respect for the law. According to Sec. Guevarra, ordinary human behavior indicates the fear of being put to death will naturally prompt a criminally minded in person to think twice. Death penalty does not take the justice system and the due process. It ensures the safety of the people.
Second, all said that death penalty costs more than the life in prison, it’s right, but over the time the more criminals will get to prison without the possibility of parole, that low cost will become greater as more criminals convicted, and the cost of death penalty will remain the same. The ability of the person to create another crime is persistent. Here is a matter of life and justice. You are not killing the henious offender, you punish them with death. Someone can’t simply get away with killing and rape just with forgivness and ‘salvations’.
Third, the government is a human institution that helps shape the people. It would always think of better ways to end those serious killings, rapes and murders. Even the bible shows a little support, “an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.” The concept of “an eye for eye,” sometimes called jus talionis or lex talionis, is part of the Mosaic Law used in the Israelites’ justice system. The principle is that the punishment must fit the crime and there should be a just penalty for evil actions: “If there is serious injury, you are to take life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. This rule does not allow sanction vigilante justice, rather it impose punishments that are appropriate, being too harsh or too lenient.
The death penalty is yet a very emotive and of a great debate that is always a matter of life and justice. The world is changing and the people are dynamic. Capital punishment has a reason to believe that this system is different from any politicized, costly, inefficient, bureaucratic, government-run operation, which we know are cure for justice. The end of one is the salvation of many.
