VACC: Death for plunderers

Chairman Dante Jimenez of the Volunteers Against Crime and Corruption (VACC) supported the stance of House Speaker Pantaleon Alvarez that plunder should be punishable by death.

“Plunder should be meted with death penalty. Anti-death penalty groups claim that the death penalty is anti-poor. Well, a lot of people are poor because of corruption. Corruption breeds poverty. If VACC would have its way, we even want to reduce the threshold amount of plunder to P10 million,” Jimenez told The Manila Times.
