10+ murders a day since President Duterte came to office. Horrible. The dead can not defend themselves
anymore if they were indeed drug pushers or addicts or innocent, patay na nga
eh. I support Pres. Duterte's admin reforms in many sectors but NOT
state-sponsored murders. http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/794942/drug-related-killings-hit-72-since-june-30
July 1, 14 murders; July 2, 12 murders; July 3, 19;...
Utak murderers na mga pulis dito. Even if only 1 of those murdered is innocent,
that's still 1 state-created injustice and murder. anak ng... http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/794598/kill-list-drugs-duterte
Now many people, including sensible and well-educated people are turning a blind eye or even egging the
killers and encouraging them. Sipsipan na. Independent-minded NGOs, media and
academics kuno, tapos biglang halleluiah to Pres. Duterte and silent to these
murders. It is ok to say halleluiah to some or many of his reforms, I do that too, but
NOT state-sponsored or Duterte-inspired murders.
I suspect that these supposedly independent people and
are deafeningly silent on those Du30-inspired murders are lining up for some
consulting work with the Du30 government, or asking for juicy positions. They cannot
afford to invite the ire of the govt who can give them multi-million pesos
consulting work.
In the Rule of Law Index 2015 Report by the
World Justice Project (WJP), the PH ranked very low in Factor 8, "Criminal
Justice" compared to its neighbors in East Asia. In particular, sub-factor
on Discrimination in the justice system is very low. Meaning pag may kakilala,
lusot. Also low score in sub-factor on criminal investigation. Short cut, kill
agad.
Konti pa siguro mga yan na napatay, but government should not make short cuts on due
process. Even assuming that 95% of those outrightly murdered are indeed drug
pushers, there is still the 5% or even 1% innocent but already dead -- killed
by the state. Ang mahirap dito, utak murder na madaming tao.
In the WJP's rule of law index report, SG, JP,
Kor, HK have very high scores in criminal justice and hence, no need for state-sponsored murders and summary execution policy. It is the enforcement of
existing laws and near-certainty of conviction and jails that reduce or prevent
those criminal behaviors.
Blackstone's formulation in criminal law is, "it is
better that ten guilty persons escapes than that the one innocent suffer."
If that "only one" murdered person is known or dear to the supporters of state-sponsored murders, I don't know how they will react. More
civilized Asians like SG, Korea, Japan, etc. have no state-sponsored murders
policy. They have death sentence, like SG, but the victim still goes
through the process, have the chance to defend himself/herself in court,
process has transparency. Here, no due process, no transparency, kill agad. Very uncivilized,
little or no investigation, trabahong tamad.
Meanwhile, this:
"That’s why I am not including Abu Sayyaf
[activities] in criminality. You’ve never heard me say (they are) criminal(s).
It is a different setup there because these are the guys who were driven to
desperation... There is no sufficient semblance of governance and that is why they are pushed to the wall,” he said, adding: “Then they became radicalized.”

Anong klaseng justification yan, President Digong? The Abus ARE criminals. They are murderers, kidnappers for ransom, terrorists, killers.
Get them, armed murderers, or pa simple lang because they are armed, unlike the
suspected, unarmed and helpless poor people suspected of being drug
addicts/pushers?
Two Canadians so far been beheaded because the ransom money
the Abus demanded could not be met, and they are not criminals? Naunsa naman
ni. Double standard palagi. Pag Abus and CPP-NPA, non-criminals; pag ordinary
drug suspects, criminals, kill agad.
