                    [Summary] => There is nothing more ridiculous than a partial or selective implementation of the law.  When the president says that those convicted of kidnapping for ransom (KFR) will be executed but not those convicted of other equally heinous crimes, one may suspect that she is motivated by considerations other than those of justice.  Philippine law makes it mandatory that capital punishment be meted to those  committing heinous crimes and public officials sworn to uphold and implement the law subvert it in selectively applying it.

                    [Summary] => There is nothing more ridiculous than a partial or selective implementation of the law.  When the president says that those convicted of kidnapping for ransom (KFR) will be executed but not those convicted of other equally heinous crimes, one may suspect that she is motivated by considerations other than those of justice.  Philippine law makes it mandatory that capital punishment be meted to those  committing heinous crimes and public officials sworn to uphold and implement the law subvert it in selectively applying it.
