Filipino Psychologists and their Opinion on Death Penalty

With the recent media pronouncements made by presumptive President Duterte that  he will revive death penalty, we also would like to get the opinion of Filipino Psychology graduate and practitioners on the issue through this online facebook survey.

The Catholic Church and the Commission on Human Rights when interviewed voiced out their dissenting opinion on the issue.

Death penalty is up for revival, so we would also like to know the opinion of Filipino Psychologists.
