As President Rodrigo Duterte revived his call for the reimposition of capital punishment for illegal drug-related heinous crimes, a presidential body is also pushing for corrupt officials to be put on death row

“Corruption should be categorized as a heinous crime and should be penalized by death,” Presidential Anti-Corruption Commission chief Greco Belgica said in a media briefing on Saturday.[Translation: Our initial proposal was death by hanging, but lethal injection is okay also.]

Belgica said corruption is “as bad as murder, as bad as drugs,” since it puts millions of Filipinos under poverty.

For corrupt officials, I would rather choose life imprisonment without special treatment nor parole. That is for them to experience the hardships the common people have gone through under their leadership.

Will this apply to politicians who were previously convicted of graft and other forms of corruption? Most of them haven't been punished. Surely, there will be loopholes, and selective justice, which is why many don't support it.

Yan ang dapat pero I doubt kung papayag itong mga Ungas na ito, dapat constitutional convention puede pa

sir COVID po hindi Capital Punishment

Kunwari lang isasama ang corruption, para lang maisalang sa plenaryo ang bill. Surely, ang finale nito tatanggalin din if merong provision, o pahihirapan masyado ang qualification ng corruption, o yung masyadong vague pra lulusot lang din sila. Pero, really, ito ba priority nyo?

Meanwhile ...

Corrupt officials? Sure na ba 'to? Nako baka maubos sila 😅

Meantime attend to the Frontliners

Good kung ma implemented talaga.

Corrupt officials must suffer the highest price for their evil!
