Batas vs corporal punishment sa mga bata, ibinasura ni Duterte

Ibinasura ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang “veto power” ang ipinasang anti- corporal punishment bill ng Kongreso na nagbabawal na saktan o hiyain ang mga bata bilang parusa.

Sa kaniyang veto message, sinabi ni Duterte na hindi siya lubos na sang-ayon sa panukala bagaman pinuri niya ang hakbang ng mga mambabatas na nagpakita ng pagmamalasakit upang protektahan ang mga bata.

“I am of the firm conviction that responsible parents can and have administered corporal punishment in a self-restrained manner, such that the children remember it not as an act of hate or abuse, but a loving act of discipline that desires only to uphold their welfare,” anang pangulo.

“Such manner of undertaking corporal punishment has given rise to beneficial results for society, with countless children having been raised up to become law-abiding citizens with a healthy respect for authority structures in the wider community,” dagdag niya.
