Citing the Charter's Section 11, Article 11, it said the State "values the dignity of every human person and guarantees full respect for human rights.â€
Section 19 provides that “Excessive fines shall not be imposed.. Neither shall the death penalty be imposed.â€
Also, the Philippines enacted Republic Act 9346 or An Act Prohibiting the Imposition of the Death Penalty in the Philippines on June 24, 2006.
"The Philippines believes that imposing the death penalty cannot fully deter crime, and that the deterrence to criminality is a combination of several factors, such as an empowered citizenry, a skilled and trusted law enforcement sector, an effective prosecutorial service, and an independent judiciary," it said.
