Share TweetBy Vanne Elaine TerrazolaThis early, Senate leaders are already expecting tedious debates to be waged over proposals to revive death penalty in the country. Sotto earlier told the Manila Bulletin that he expects Duterte to mention death penalty in his speech. “I’m sure magkakaroon ng bakbakan (there will be a battle on) sa death penalty issue because we have a lot of death penalty proponents so it’s going to be very interesting and exciting 18th Congress,” Zubiri said. Aside from death penalty, Sotto said the Senate will continue other unfinished business during the previous Congress.
