Do you think punishing rapists with castration is the answer to the rising rape cases in the country? Why?

 

TESS YAPTANGCO
No, I'm still for death sentence! It's only his organ that will be taken away. manner of rape is broad! He still has his hands and mouth to use, hehehe. may sound funny but it's true!

DR. KRISTIN TREÑAS
No, because the root of the problem is NOT THE PENIS - it's the mind. CONSCIOUSNESS! Castration will therefore not be a deterent, and will achieve nothing, except give us a false sense of security that we have done something.

LIZA ABANILLA
If proven guilty?! Well absolutely! It's an eye for an eye justice they deserve. Though more inhumane than death penalty. They will be useless to their partner if they were dead!

ELIZA JUNE VERDE
That's a good idea coz they can't control it then maybe WE CAN!

CARMEL CASTAÑARES
No! That's not the real root of the problem.Castrate bold movie industry, close FHM Magazine which is not a magazine at all but pornography and punish people spreading sex phone videos.

CAROLINE JAVELLANA
Yes, for them to learn and for all those who are planning to take criminal actions.

JOSIE CARAM
No. All it needs is a swift efficient implementation of the law. The law in place even provides for graver penalties than mere castration.

DESIREE BRETAÑA
For all rape victims, my ready answer is yes. Quid pro quo. But the root of a numb society is a thinning spiritual base, Christ centeredness is and always will be the solution to social ills.

PILAR CATEQUISTA
For me it's not the answer. It's not the LEGAL and RELIGIOUS way.

CANDY CAMPOS
No way! Why? Not even the death sentence can stop any heinous crimes in this kind of judiciary system in our country.

HAZEL HORMILLOSA
Definitely. It's like the best definition of justice for cases of rape. Not only will it prevent second offenders but also leave them scarred for life, as in literally! And it'll make anybody think twice before proceeding with any act of rape in the future.

KATHERINE PE BENITO
Sure, why not, if you think that's the only solution. Rapist should undergo risk and sacrifice. Good-bye testicles!!!

SANSAN LO
Yes to all punishments, even death, for such an inhumane act of violence.

DR. BELLE JAYME
Oh yes! They should have thought of that a long time ago. That doesn't mean of course that if they don't have the "equipment" anymore they can't inflict harm. But it sure is a nice way of getting even.

KATRINA LEDESMA
It may pose as a deterrent, but it is not enough of a solution. The death penalty hasn't stopped it, right?

JOANNE NEAR
I'm pro life and I strongly disapprove it. Castration or any forms of punishment won't solve it. Focus on the root not on the problem itself.

PAZ MONTERO
No, because it's barbaric and there are other more fitting punishment.

HELEN ILARDE
Castration is inhuman. What we need is stricter implementation of the law. We need to be aggressive in going after them. These rapists must be given reclusion perpetua. I also do not believe in death penalty.

ATTY. NELA TAN
No. I think skinning them alive is a better punishment than castration. Hahaha. Seriously now, I believe that the death penalty is enough deterrent against rape.

DR. ARLENE ARDEÑA-BONGOSIA
No. We should not abide by - an eye for an eye principle.

DARREN BAJADA
Yes, because it's worse than death from a male point of view.
