Dela Rosa defended his bill from criticisms that those without money for legal defense will be targetted by the reimposition of capital punishment.

Wala namang drug trafficker na pobre,"Dela Rosa said that death penalty will surely be a"deterrent" against importation of drugs in the country, and mentioned particularly high-level Chinese drug traffickers.
"Deterrence talaga 'yan. Sampolan natin. Firing squad natin sa Luneta. Tignan natin kung maghakot sila ng shabu dito satin,"He said that apart from the importers, those who helped facilitate the entry of illegal drugs in the country should be punished as well.as well, but this included cases involving plunder apart from illegal drugs.that the provision involving plunder would be supported by other senators."Baka hindi makalusot 'yan.
