Presidential candidate Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. believes the death penalty is not effective in curbing crime rate. | cgonzalesINQ
“’Yung mga heinous crime gagawin at gagawin ng mga kriminal ‘yun eh, kaya I am not sure if the death penalty is an effective way of discouraging the commission of [crime],” he added.
For Marcos, law enforcement is “much more important” than punishment in addressing the problem of criminality. Asked if he will just leave the decision on the death penalty to the Congress, Marcos said: “Yes, because it is legislation that will carry it.” “We have to understand for ourselves what is the basis of what we are doing. Is it because of the moral issue? Let’s say sasabihin, ‘we think that the state has to right to take a life, then we should have the death penalty. Kasi talagang hopeless na ‘yung iba. Talagang you cannot rehabilitate naman ‘yung mga, then they [should] just be removed from the society,’” said Marcos.
