VERA FILES FACT CHECK: Pagpayag ni Dela Rosa na bitayin dahil sa mga pagpatay na may kinalaman sa droga walang basehan

Bilang tugon sa mga natuklasan kamakailan ni forensic pathology expert Dr. Raquel Fortun na nakadiskubre ng mga hindi pagkakatugma sa mga ulat sa autopsy ng mga biktima ng drug war, sinabi ni Sen. Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa na handa siyang bitayin kung mahatulan siya ng lokal na hukuman para sa anumang maling gawain. Wala itong basehan.

VERA FILES FACT CHECK: Dela Rosa’s willingness to be hanged over drug-related killings has no basis

By VERA Files | Feb 08, 2023 10:05 AM

A Philippine court cannot sentence him to hanging because the country already outlawed the death penalty on June 24, 2006 when then-president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo signed Republic Act 9346. This outlawed capital punishment in the country, which was previously allowed and carried out through lethal injection.

A failure of intelligence

The legal profession in the country is under siege. Lawyers smell trouble in the recent move by the Philippine National Police (PNP) to secure from the courts a list of their colleagues, who are representing activists.
