However the government has openly deny such killings, the present administration have also repeatedly reasoned that extrajudicial killings are done by non-government actors specifically vigilantes, rebel groups and many more. This has …show more content…

Extrajudicial killings re-emerged in Philippine public consciousness as a drastic rise in their number was reported in the last few months. Reports suggest that the number of victims is over a thousand (it is shown in national TV during news time). The country has already felt its negative effects, but it has also experiencing positive benefits. With such problem happening right now will the country improve its present state or will it decline just like what happened in the Marcos administration. Now these so called extra judicial killings done by the police, is it really happening or it’s just drug syndicates and vigilantes killing their enemies and people who knows their operations to silence …show more content…

Although such things are happening there are also positive benefits that is happening to our country, recently in the news some foreign companies have invested here in the Philippines because based on their statements the Philippines is now safer because someone is really implementing the law and doing their best to eradicate present problems in our country. Our government will continue its course of action because our president who is really driven to eradicate criminality and illegal drugs and based on his statement “I don’t care if I burn in hell as long as the people I serve lives in paradise” he would really do what he promised. The president is trying to make a way to execute criminal legally by bringing back capital punishment, although in the past we have signed and agreed in the UN that we will remove death penalty, high ranking officials of the country at present are helping the president in reviving death penalty which is against to what we have singed and agreed upon in that certain UN convention. The media is a big factor when it comes to informing the

    Ever since i've started listening to Serial, I’ve been hearing all sorts of things from my classmates on whether or not Adnan killed Hae. They've starting questioning everyone in each episode, listening carefully to any detail into who may be the killer, but this story doesn’t have an ending and till this day remains unsolved. Listening to others and what they might say about this case, may have a disagree with the ones that say Adnan is guilty. I believe Adnan Syed is innocent. A murder of Hae Min Lee took place in Baltimore, Maryland on January 13, 1999 and some, including the state, believe that her ex-boyfriend Adnan Syed is guilty for that crime.

    Execution is the act of carrying out of a sentence of death on a condemned person. This is carried out either by lethal injection or electrocution. Execution despite its barbaric nature has survived in many legal system and will continue to because it: reinforces a state of security of the general public, detters other individuals from committing such crimes, and enforces the concept of cause and effect within the legal system.

  • Shi Huangdi's Broken Justice System In China

    965 Words  | 4 Pages

    Anybody who disagreed with the government or believed in another philosophy could be executed, (Blackwell). Today, China’s courts have a 99.9% conviction rate, with only 825 out of 1.16 million people found not guilty in the courts, (“China’s Broken Justice System”). With those rates, it is clear that there must be a large margin of those that are wrongfully convicted, sentenced for a crime that they did not commit. Indeed, inmates often tell stories of how the police beat prisoners with iron bars, batons, and hammers in order for them to make false confessions, (Reynolds). With this, the corruption of China’s modern legal system can be seen, as well as how they beat suspects in order to extort confessions, resulting in neither justice for the victims of crimes, but for also for those falsely sentenced.

  • Annotated Bibliography On Death Penalty

    1145 Words  | 5 Pages

    This article discusses individual cases and crimes and gives analysis of the arguments made against death penalty in real world. Firstly it discusses the deterrence argument while going through a number of cases. The conclusion is that it has no effect on reducing homicides but ironically it breeds violence as in some cases offenders committed a capital crime in a territory where execution still prevails while they could have easily avoided it. Second thing discussed is the cost, the research in article shows that it costs significantly more money to put a convict to death than to incarcerate him for life in a prison. Moreover it is shown that in many cases criminals are executed while there are reasonable doubts in their convictions and some have avoided execution by just a few hours before being exonerated.

  • Music In The Philippine Culture

    2047 Words  | 9 Pages

    The Philippines has always had a rich musical history. It takes its roots from the indigenous tribes of the Philippines, who used it as a way to pass on epics and stories about gods and heroes, a way to celebrate good harvests, festivals, weddings and births, a way to mourn the dead, to court women, and a way to praise the gods. This music was then enriched by the Philippines’ western colonizers. The Spaniards imparted the zarzuela (called sarswela in the Philippines) and the rondalla, adding more Spanish touches to Filipino folk songs. The Americans, on the other hand, influenced the Philippine music scene by introducing pop and rock, eventually leading to the creation of “Pinoy pop”, which included a wide variety of forms like dance tunes, ballads, rock n’ roll, disco, jazz, and rap.
