Death Penalty in the Philippines?

             Several days ago the Philippines focuses on the verdict of Mary Jane Veloso to pursue the condemnation of death. But because of the prayers and support of the Filipino people the penalty was postponed and given the opportunity to review her case. This issue informed the whole world of what would be the consequences of your acts against the law. Many countries including the Philippines who abolished the death penalty because it is said that it is against the life. So how important our lives are? If we commit a major offense is it necessary to put you to death? For me, our lives are very important because it is a valuable gift that the Lord has given to us. Before, I think why is death penalty exist.  The criminals should be given an opportunity to live in this world. Even all of us were forgiven by God even though we have committed sins against His Holly Will. Even though, we are sinful but our God still love us and He sacrificed His own Son in order for us to have salvation. So I realized how important our lives are.

       But while I'm growing and witnessed the different crimes that are happening. I realized that Death Penalty is very useful. I know that many of us would not want to have a death penalty in the Philippines, but I admit that it has a good effect to our country.  I did not say that I'm against the life but if there is a death penalty the people will be disciplined, as what Senator Sotto who wants to have a death penalty bill said that "Pro-life ako for the unborn, pro-life ako sa family. Pero hindi ako pro-life for heinous criminals." I agree with him if there's a death penalty the crimes will be reduced. But I'm very sure that there's a lot of government official that will hinder the death penalty bill because they will afraid that they can't corrupt anymore.

          Actually, if we think it deeply, there's nothing to lose if there's a death penalty in the Philippines because if nothing will commit crimes then no one will be sentenced to death.

             All of us have our own opinion. Many of us want to have a death penalty and others may not, but the most important is we should always think what we are doing if it is correct or against the law. Even though there's no death penalty if we are responsible enough and we discipline ourselves then we will become successful.
