Death penalty may be 'fastest' way to serve justice for heinous crime victims: Pacquiao

MANILA - Sen.

Manny Pacquiao on Tuesday renewed his push to reinstate death penalty in the Philippines, saying it may be the "fastest" and "most effective" way of delivering justice for heinous crime victims in the country.

"Alam kasi ng mga kriminal at mga utak kriminal na makukulong lamang sila kapag gumawa sila ng karumal-dumal na krimen," he said. Sen. Ronald Dela Rosa has also revived his push for the reimposition of the capital punishment in the Philippines, saying Nuezca's brutal slay of Sonia and Frank Anthony Gregorio could have been deterred by death penalty.

Death penalty was initially allowed in the Philippines through Republic Act 7659 signed in 1993 by then President Fidel Ramos.
