President Benigno Aquino III is not keen on reimposing capital punishment, noting that the country's imperfect justice system may lead to the conviction of the wrong person.
At a press conference at the Liberal Party's 65th anniversary, Aquino said he will study emerging calls to reimpose the death penalty, "but the essence here is our judicial system is not perfect."
"There is a possibility that people can be wrongly convicted especially if they do not have the ability to secure competent counsel," Aquino said.

Traditionally, the dance consists of two steps forward and one step backward, done to the sound of the drums. The dance is classified into Sinulog-base, Free-Interpretation, and recently a Latin Category, which most people have argued that it had nothing to do with Sinulog tradition. Candle vendors at the Basilica continue to perform the traditional version of the dance when lighting a candle for the customer, usually accompanied by songs in the native language.
