Comebacking Senator Ramon ‘Bong’
Revilla Jr. has voiced out his support for the passage of a bill seeking to
restore the death penalty for plunder and
heinous crimes related to drugs.
Revilla said he would also suggest the imposition of the death penalty
against those who falsely accuse others of committing the crime of plunder.
"Hindi na kailangan humingi sa akin ng tulong ni Senator Bong Go (Senator Bong Go need not ask for my help). From
the get go, I have expressed my strong and personal support (for) capital
punishment for drug trafficking and plunder," he said in a statement.

"If at all, ako ang hihingi ng tulong sa kanya, to
support yung aking panukala na idagdag sa batas, to prevent it
from being weaponized for politics, na false accusers should
also suffer death (If at all, I should be the one to ask for his support to include
in the bill -- to prevent it from being weaponized for politics -- that false
accusers should also suffer death)," he added.
Revilla, was acquitted in 2018
after four years being detained over a plunder charge, said he was not affected
by the death penalty proposal because he was found "not guilty".
"Napatunayang ginipit lang ako. Pero sa pinagdaanan ko na
inakusahan ng mali at inabswelto at pinawalang-sala, dapat may kaakibat na
parusa sa mga nanggipit at nang-api (It was proven that I was just framed
up. But after what I had gone through because of false accusations and
eventually being acquitted, it is only right for those who falsely accuse
others of these crimes to be punished)," he said.
"I could have faced death just because of politics. Kung
ginawa ito sa akin, dapat siguruhin na hindi na ito magagawa sa iba (These
acts against me should not be done to others)," he added.
