PDEA Director General Aaron Aquino: “Offenders of heinous crimes fueled by illegal drugs, like rape, also deserve the state-sanctioned execution.” | CGonzalesINQ
Aquino also cited reports that several convicted drug lords are still involved in the illegal drug trade.
Aside from heinous crimes related to drugs, Duterte also called for capital punishment for those guilty of plunder.“Illegal drugs, criminality and corruption are social menaces that go hand in hand. Get rid of one problem, the other two can no longer survive,” Aquino said. “If you have done something evil, you have to pay. We are not promoting a cycle of violence. However, it is morally justified in imposing death penalty to people who seek to destroy the lives of the Filipinos, most especially our youth,” he said. /je
