SHOULD DEATH PENALTY LEGALIZE IN THE PHILIPPINES? 

In 1987 the Philippines set an historic precedent by becoming the first Asian country in modern times to abolish the death penalty for all crimes. The Government of the Philippines are debating about the death penalty to be legalize. However death penalty, or capital punishment, is defined as the infliction of death as a punishment for breaking criminal law. A large number of people are being held in prison as a result of their crimes.
