Go for Death penalty

We knew that we are not God. We don`t have right to take others life. But, this time is different our Rape, Murder, and Drugs cases here in the Philippines is rapidly increasing compare to those past decades. Specially Rape cases which is very alarming  the total amount of victim yearly is not less than 1,000 and 5-15% of those are children below 14-0 years old. And let say most of them have been murdered also 5-10% or more. Now where is the justice if they only put into the prison after how many decades 1 or 2 they will be free again. If you are the family of the victim would you think you will be happy?. But, forgiveness is not easy to gave specially when you lost someone you love. This is the fact the real men won`t buy a girl and raped a girl just to have sex. The real men find the girl that he loves and live together.


The law(of rape cases)

The Anti-Rape Law of 1997, which amended the previous definition of rape as defined in the Revised Penal Code of 1930, now defines the crime of rape as follows:

Article 266-A. Rape: When And How Committed. - Rape is committed:

1) By a man who shall have carnal knowledge of a woman under any of the following circumstances:

a) Through force, threat, or intimidation;

b) When the offended party is deprived of reason or otherwise unconscious;

c) By means of fraudulent machination or grave abuse of authority; and

d) When the offended party is under twelve (12) years of age or is demented, even though none of the circumstances mentioned above be present.

2) By any person who, under any of the circumstances mentioned in paragraph 1 hereof, shall commit an act of sexual assault by inserting his penis into another person's mouth or anal orifice, or any instrument or object, into the genital or anal orifice of another person.

The 1997 changes expanded the definition of rape and reclassified that crime as a Crime against persons instead of, as previously, grouping it with Crimes against Chastity.

1946 to 1986

The capital crimes after regaining full sovereignty in July 1946 were murder, rape and treason. However, no executions took place until April 1950, when Julio Gullien, executed for attempting to assassinate President Manuel Roxas;. Other notable cases includes Marciál "Baby" Ama, electrocuted at the age of 16 on October 4, 1961 for murders committed while in prison for lesser charges. Ama notably became the subject of the popular 1976 film, Bitayin si... Baby Ama! (Execute Baby Ama!).

Another famous case was of former powerful Governor of Negros Occidental Rafael Lacson and 22 of his allies, condemned to die in August 1954 for the murder of a political opponent. Ultimately, Lacson was never executed.

In total, 51 people were electrocuted up to 1961. Execution numbers climbed under President Ferdinand Marcos, who was ironically himself sentenced to death in 1939 for murder of Julio Nalundasan—the political rival of his father, Mariano; the young Ferdinand was acquitted on appeal. A well-publicised triple execution took place in May 1972, when Jaime José, Basilio Pineda, and Edgardo Aquino were electrocuted for the 1967 abduction and gang-rape of the young actress Maggie dela Riva. The executions were ordered broadcast on national television.

Under the Marcos regime, drug trafficking also became punishable with death by firing squad, such as the case with Lim Seng, whose execution in December 1972 was also ordered broadcast on national television. Future President and then Chief of the Philippine Constabulary, General Fidel V. Ramos, was present at the execution.

The electric chair was used until 1976, when execution by firing squad eventually replaced it as the sole method of execution. Under Marcos' 20-year authoritarian rule, however, countless more people were summarily executed, tortured, or simply disappeared for opposition to his rule.

After Marcos was deposed in 1986, the newly-drafted 1987 Constitution limited the application of the death penalty to only a few crimes. This meant that it was abolished in practice, making the Philippines the first Asian country to do so.
