Why this petition matters

Started by Maui Esta

Death penalty is one of the most well-known issue in the Philippines. Death penalties are government-sanctioned practices, in which a person is put to death by the state as punishment for a particular crime. It is also known as Capital Punishment. The death penalty deters individuals from committing crimes; therefore, the crime rates decreases. As a respond to society's demands for justice, the death penalty as a form of retribution is justified because the criminal deserves the punishment fitted to the severity of the crime he/she committed. The primary aim of the death penalty is to decrease the number of horrendous crimes in the world. As a Filipino citizen, do you agree with the re-imposition of the death penalty in the Philippines?
