So it seems, the mere whisper of death penalty for corruption already sends shivers down the spines of some lawmakers. How interesting — and how revealing.
When a proposal aims to hang those who plunder public funds, suddenly the defenders of “human rights” awaken. The same people who turn blind eyes to the millions of lives wrecked by greed and thievery now cloak themselves in morality, preaching mercy for the merciless.
Tell us, honorable congressmen and senators — what are you afraid of? The gallows? The truth? Or your own reflection in the mirror of guilt?
Every time you pocket a peso meant for flood control, hospital equipment, or food for the poor, you steal life itself. You bury people not with rope, but with hunger, disease, and disaster. Yet you speak of “inhumane punishment”? Spare us the hypocrisy.
For decades, corruption has been the silent death sentence of the Filipino people. Maybe it’s time the sentence was returned — not to the innocent, but to the guilty who wore their suits while robbing the nation blind.
Let the law serve as a warning: if your hands are clean, you have nothing to fear. But if they’re stained with the people’s blood and taxes — then tremble, because justice is sharpening its blade.
Cowardice has no place in governance. Only courage can cleanse this nation of rot. The question remains: who among them will stand for the people — and who will hide behind their immunity until the rope finally swings?
