Its sad to say, but in countries where desperation is a never-ending way of life for most people, the only effective way to control people from criminal activity, especially violent activity, is to eliminate them quickly and on a regular basis. The Davao system has proven its effectiveness. Where life has become a jungle, draconian means are necessary and society has the right to take ALL MEANS necessary to protect the innocent. I comment the mayors of Davao for the good work. If the same system were used in Manila, crime would drop almost over night. (Not only Manila, but Luzon in general is ridden with crime, and I would not recommend that a retiree think about any place in Luzon for his retirement).
I agree criminals should be prosecuted as soon as possible but when they are never to be seen again and assumed not to be walking the land I find that kind of justice one of BARBARIAN TIMES...The ultimate corruption, no different than judgements made by King Herrod...
