capital punishment for drug mules

prayer vigils were held across the country and even P-Noy thru the VP requested his China counterpart to stay the execution of 3 filipino convicted drug mules last March 30th. all to no avail…

i don’t personally know the  people involved but my heart goes out for them and their families…moreso, i bleed for the ones whose lives have been wrecked because of the drugs that they have willingly or unwillingly transported.

i am all for human rights especially the right to life but i carry a slogan in my heart that says: one’s rights end where another’s rights begin.when one uses drugs, he not only destroys himself but he also forever leaves a scar  on the lives of family, friends and even on people he doesn’t know. i had been a silent witness to my mother’s suffering because of a brother’s drug problems- one of the reasons why she died of a broken heart. our lives changed 2 decades ago when my brother had a nervous breakdown because of drug abuse and until now, i still feel the pain…

i admire china’s drug policy. prohibited drugs push people to kill, rape and rob thus a harsh punishment should be meted out to people who capitalize on such. i am sorry if a lot of you will oppose this but i believe that a similar drug policy should also be enforced in our country!

it’s similar to what a surgeon does to stop the spread of cancer- to surgically pluck out the sources of the deadly disease.
