Sa walong pahinang per curiam decision ng SC en banc, binalewala lamang nito ang inihaing petition for certiorari ng FLAG para katawanin ang lahat ng bilanggong nakasalang sa parusang bitay.

Justice Secretary Hernando Perez said yesterday they will tell the Supreme Court that they are duty- bound to carry out the provisions of the Heinous Crimes Act, which restored capital punishment in 1994.

"We cannot suspend the implementation of the law," he said. "Unless of course the President issues a reprieve or if the SC would issue a temporary restraining order."

Eddie Semadilla, 25, was sentenced to death in February 1999 by Judge Bienvenido Estrada of the Regional Trial Court of Pangasinan after he was found guilty of raping a six-year-old girl.

The Supreme Court affirmed the death sentence of Semadilla in January 2001.

Under the law, the court of origin could set the date of execution within 12 to 18 months after the high court had upheld its decision.

Former Davao City policeman Rolando Pagdayaon, 43, and former taxi driver Filomeno Serrano, 46, both convicted child rapists, are scared of meeting death on the days appointed for their execution by lethal injection.

But both of them, like most of the inmates at the New Bilibid Prisons’ death row, maintain that they are innocent of the crime for which they were convicted. Both also insist they were only framed up by their wives.

Sinabi ni Surigao del Norte Rep. Robert Ace Barbers na sa kabila ng pagbabalik ng parusang kamatayan ay hindi pa rin natatakot na gumawa ng karumal-dumal na krimen ang mga kriminal dahil sa hindi nakikita ng mga ito ang pagpapataw ng parusa.

Masusubukan umano kung talagang epektibo sa pagsugpo ng krimen ang parusang kamatayan kung ipapalabas ito sa telebisyon.

Under the Heinous Crimes Law of 1994, only a presidential pardon can save a convict from death.

Carina Agarao, president of the Crusade Against Violence (CAV), told reporters it was so "un-Catholic" for the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) to coerce the Chief Executive into violating the law.

Sinabi ni Sen. Pimentel, hindi dapat magpa-sulsol si Pangulong Arroyo sa mga anti-crime groups na inaakalang magiging kalutasan sa kidnapping at iba pang karumal-dumal na krimen ang pagpapatupad ng parusang bitay.

The President said that while she was bred in a convent, the Catholic teaching of retribution should apply in the cases of the three death convicts awaiting execution at the New Bilibid Prisons in Muntinlupa City.

"Even if I was practically raised in the convent, I understand that if crimes are that serious, the death penalty should apply," Mrs. Arroyo, an alumna of Assumption College, said.

Sa panayam, sinabi ng Pangulo na nais niyang turuan ng leksiyon ang mga kriminal sa pamamagitan ng implementasyon ng batas sa parusang kamatayan.

Iginiit ng Pangulo na mas mabuting ipatupad ang death penalty kumpara sa pag-salvage o summary execution na isinusulong ng ilang sektor.

Sinabi ng Pangulo na ang unang tatlong death convicts ang kanyang pasasampolan ng bitay.
