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."

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.
