Unit 1012 awards the Rayner Goddard Act of Courage Award to Rodrigo Duterte for defending the death penalty.
Although, we, the comrades of Unit 1012: The VFFDP, rather that he uses capital
punishment after a fair trial with judicial safeguards, we still respect the
fact that he has the courage to protect his countrymen.
He is also nicknamed, ‘The Strongman of the Philippines’ and he was
sworn in as President on June 30, 2016. Let us present some articles on his war
on criminals:

Rodrigo Duterte on being a terror to
evildoers

“THE Punisher” has taken no time to
settle in to his role and make good on his nickname.
Rodrigo Duterte, 71, swept to power in
the Philippines seven weeks ago aboard promises of a crackdown on the country’s
huge criminal networks.
Drug dealers were in his sights. The
death toll from his crackdown on that particular industry is nearing 2000,
according to some estimates.
His next focus: The Philippines’ own
terror network, Abu Sayyaf, a
group often referred to as Islamic State’s baby brother.
Abu Sayyaf was started in the 1990s
and recently pledged allegiance to IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. They make
their money from kidnappings and ransoms and this week they made headlines when
they beheaded
an 18-year-old hostage.
Responding to the news, Duterte pulled
no punches. At a press conference in Davao City, he said he had delivered firm
orders to eliminate those responsible.
“I’m sending the troops
there and tell them to destroy them,” he said.
“My orders to the police and
to the armed forces against all enemies of the state, seek them out in their
lairs, whatever, and destroy them.”
Traditional considerations for human
rights are out the window. He said exactly that during the press conference.
“So killed or what, don’t ask about
human rights.”
Duterte did more than hint at the war
before he was elected on May 9. And it was clear then that he would do whatever
it took.
He promised “shoot-to-kill” teams
would give criminals “hell” and that fish in Manila Bay would grow
fat feeding on the corpses of the country’s 100,000 criminals.
His mandate included a curfew for
drinking and walking in the street at night and a ban on smoking in
restaurants. But it was his focus on bringing back the death penalty —
abolished in 2006 — that struck a chord with voters who backed him in during a
landslide election.
“I expect you to obey the
laws so there will be no chaos. I will hit hard on drugs and I promise them
(criminals) hell,”
he said.
“If you resist, show violent
resistance, my order to police will be to shoot to kill. Shoot to kill for
organised crime. You heard that? Shoot to kill for every organised crime.”
His focus narrowed to Abu Sayyaf when
they broadcast the beheading of Patrick Almodovar, 18, a native of Jolo, an
island south of Manila.
Almodover was kidnapped on July 16
outside his family home. The government had been negotiating with his captors
but could not reach an agreement.
Earlier this year, Abu Sayyaf
kidnapped and murdered English-born Canadian man John Ridsdel. The beheading
was condemned by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau who called it
“cold-blooded murder”.
Duterte’s push to eradicate crime is
supported by his people, both in theory and practice. During his maiden speech
he asked for their help and promised to reward them with medals and cash for
shooting dead those he deemed troublemakers.
“Do your duty, and if in the process
you kill 1000 persons because you were doing your duty, I will protect you.
“If you know of any addicts, go ahead
and kill them yourself as getting their parents to do it would be too painful.”
Human Rights Watch and Amnesty
International have expressed concern about the new president’s approach. But
given the support he has received for turning the table on crime, a change in
rhetoric appears unlikely.
Abu Sayyaf, you’ve been warned.
Duterte: Death penalty is for retributionPublished on Jun 24, 2016President-elect Rodrigo Duterte on Wednesday said his proposal to reimpose death penalty was not just for crime prevention but also for retribution.

Congress
pressed on death penalty

MANILA, Philippines - Amid criticism
of his administration’s ruthless anti-drug campaign, President Duterte pressed
Congress yesterday to restore the death penalty “to instill fear of violating
the law.”
Duterte lamented that previous leaders
lacked the courage to fully implement the death penalty, which he said would
have prevented the drug menace from reaching the current alarming levels.
The President has asked his allies in
Congress to work for the restoration of the death penalty. Capital punishment
was abolished after Ferdinand Marcos was ousted in 1986 and a new Constitution
was written, but it was retained for heinous crimes.
During the presidency of Gloria
Macapagal-Arroyo, Congress abolished capital punishment.
The failure to effectively implement
the death penalty removed the “essence of criminal law,” which Duterte said, is the “fear of violating the law.”
“Walang namatay,
kasi walang (No one died because there was no)… you removed actually, the
essence of criminal law, (which) is the fear to violate the law. What prevailed
was not the fear of the law but impunity and the absence of
accountability,”
he added.
Duterte, a lawyer, said people in the
corridors of power such as governors and mayors have refused to follow the law.
He was referring to those who are
engaged in illegal activities.
“However, you bring the
matter to a physical, medical or spiritual issue, for as long as the essence of
fear is not there. Fear of accountability, that is why I want the death
penalty. You answer for your deeds,” he said.
Pinoys
divided
Meanwhile, a pro-life lawmaker
yesterday said an informal survey conducted by the House of Representatives had
shown that Filipinos are divided on the issue of reviving the death penalty to
deter heinous crimes.
“Filipinos hunger and thirst for
justice, not for blood. And this craving for justice may be satisfied only by
profound and comprehensive reforms in law enforcement, prosecution service, the
judiciary and our prisons,” Buhay party-list Rep. Lito Atienza said.
“Offhand, many Filipinos who appear to
favor the revival of capital punishment are merely venting their exasperation
over the miserable performance of our criminal justice system,” the senior
deputy minority leader said.
He issued the statement in response to
results of an online poll by the House’s official website, showing 50 percent
of participants favoring the renewal of capital punishment, 48 percent
rejecting it and two percent undecided.
He described support for lethal
injection as “shaky, weak and shallow.”
“The ratings imply that the
reinstatement of the death penalty is a highly discordant matter best deferred
by Congress,” he said.
He blamed widespread corruption for
the dismal functioning of the country’s justice system, which has “deeply
frustrated and angered” many Filipinos.

Rodrigo Duterte on solving problem
|
President Rodrigo Duterte has made a
case for the restoration of the death penalty in the Philippines, saying the
law had previously lost its effectiveness because it was not fully implemented.
Duterte told reporters on Monday that
past presidents had succumbed to the pressure of the Catholic church and other
"bleeding hearts" who argued against capital punishment "because
only God can kill".
"The problem with that is, I ask
you, ‘What
if there is no God?’" Duterte said at the presidential palace in
the capital, Manila.
"When a one-year-old,
an 18-month-old baby is taken from the mother's arms, brought under a Jeep and
raped, and killed, where is God," he asked.
"People in the
Philippines no longer believe in the laws, because the fear is not there," Duterte said in a mix of
Filipino and English.
"That is why I said,
give me back the death penalty."
While professing that he personally
believes in God, the Philippine leader said, the existence of a higher being is
a "perpetual question" for him, when he sees "heartaches, sorrows
and agony" around him.
Since he took office in June end, more
than 3,500 people have been killed as part of Duterte's war on drug
traffickers and users.
And he has not taken kindly to the
global condemnation of the spiralling death toll. Last week the Philippine
president lambasted European Union after it called for "strict monitoring
of human rights abuses" in the country.
Earlier this month, Duterte directed
profanities at UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and US President Barack Obama,
after they made similar comments about the mounting death toll in the Asia
Pacific nation.
On Friday, in a speech
to police officers, Duterte made a similar comment while talking about
illegal drugs in the country, and the rules of engagement in dealing with
suspected drug criminals.
"Maybe God doesn't want all these
killings. But never mind, God is not my enemy. I'll talk to him when I get
there," he said, drawing laughter from the officers.
"I'll ask him, 'If you are really
God, you didn't do anything, and the Filipinos are going crazy'" with
illegal drugs "by the millions", he said.
During the campaign, Duterte had
promised to re-impose the death penalty as part of his policy to deal with
illegal drugs in the country.
On Monday, he said he has "always
been a hardliner when it comes to the penal laws".
