“Whether posted on social media or done hidden without a witness, killing is a sin.”
The police killing of a mother and her son in Tarlac demonstrated how ingrained impunity has become in Philippine society, a Catholic bishop said.
“The suspect was a man tasked to stop killings. Impunity has become ingrained as we saw the daughter, having taunted the mother and son, walking away unaffected by the murder,” Macaraeg said. Deploring the incident, the bishop said that murder is not only a sin against the victims and their families. “It is both a sin and a crime that cries out to heaven,” he said.
The Catholic Church’s social action and justice arm also joined in condemning the incident saying killings ‘have no place in our society’.
