Among the senators who filed bills seeking to impose death penalty in the country were neophyte Sen. Bong Go and Sen. Manny Pacquiao, both from the administration PDP-Laban party. Go filed Senate Bill (SB) 207 on Tuesday, one of the first bills that he filed in the Senate. The first-term senator's proposed measure seeks to reinstate the death penalty for drug-related offenses and for plunder. Under Go's proposed measure, the death penalty would be imposed through lethal injection. Si Sen. Manny Pacquiao ang ikatlong senador na naghain ng panukalang batas para sa parusang death penalty sa drug traffickers.
