Malacañang said it would leave to Congress the matter of reinstating the death penalty in the country.
President Rodrigo Duterte wants to bring back the death penalty in the Philippines but lawmakers should make the final decision, according to Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque.
“Malinaw po ang stand ng Presidente diyan. Pabor po ang Presidente sa death penalty lalung-lalo na po sa wide-scale drug trafficking pero nasa kamay na po iyan ng mga mambabatas,” Roque said during a virtual presser Tuesday.
