He noted that some people had been saying that Sen. Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa would be biased chairing a hearing on the death penalty because he was pushing for it.But during the radio interview on Saturday, he said he would allow a debate on the measure at the Senate floor.
In another DWIZ interview, Sen. Cynthia Villar said she was “okay” with death penalty if it would be imposed on drug lords.In another DWIZ interview, Dela Rosa, a former chief of the Philippine National Police who led the administration’s bloody drug war, hopes that he could get sponsorship as Senate bills pushing for the return of death penalty might get “stabbed in the back.”
“If he [Gordon] creates a subcommittee, I hope he lets me have the sponsorship so that the bills won’t get stabbed in the back if the one sponsoring them is against it,” Dela Rosa said in Filipino. “I hope he would allow the proponent of the bill to be the one to sponsor it,” he said.ADVERTISEMENT“As I have said, it’s up to him because he’d the chairman. We can’t do anything about that if he would not like to sponsor it in the subcommittee,” he said.
Dela Rosa was recently elected as a member of Senate justice committee which would mean he could participate in hearings on the death penalty. The death penalty issue made the headlines again after President Rodrigo Duterte called for its return during his fifth State of the Nation Address.
CMarquezINQ That's great! Ok naman si senator gordon!
CMarquezINQ Ayaw niya bitawan ang justice kasi pinakikinabangan siya ng mga grupo ni Pulong sa droga. Kung inyo pang natatandaan, siya ang nagwhitewash ng imbestigasyon sa senado kay Pulong sa dalawang importasyon ng bilyon-bilyong piso na halaga ng droga na inilabas sa Bureau of Customs.
CMarquezINQ pinag uusapan yan ngayon?
CMarquezINQ So we will have a debate in death penalty. Bato, Manny Pacquiao vs Gordon,Drilon,Pangilinan. I dont know what is the stand of other senators in senate committee of justice. Goodluck kay Bato baka mautal utal sa debate.
CMarquezINQ This is the right time to revive the Death Penalty but for the PUBLIC SERVANTS. Billions will be spent (pocketed) for the COVID rehab and to make sure of no corruption the Death Penalty for Public Servants before for other criminals is the best solution. No funds will be abused.
