Quality Education Design

Nakakalungkot ang nangyaring pag-aresto kay Lolo Narding Floro. Dito makikita ang double standard na hustisya sa ating bansa. Kapag mahirap nakukulong, pero kapag mayaman nakakalaya. May kilala nga tayo na isang makapangyarihang tao nahatulan na pero nasa laya pa rin.

Under RA 10389 (Recognizance Act), Lolo should not have even been required to post bail; he should have been granted recognizance. But the law has many requirements and this would have taken days. If elected, I plan to amend the law so that people like Lolo can avail of recognizance quickly.

I’m also pushing for the Alternative Penalties Act, which would allow courts to impose alternative penalties (such as community service, home detention, rehabilitation or treatment, suspended sentences and exclusion orders) for minor offenses.
