WATCH: De Lima says no to shoot-to-kill order, death penalty

MANILA, Philippines – Former Justice secretary and now senator-elect Leila De Lima said she opposes the shoot-to-kill order and death penalty proposed by presumptive president Rodrigo Duterte to curb crimes in the country.

De Lima said the shoot-to-kill order is unconstitutional while death penalty is murder which is also against the law.

Although she said she becomes a minority with her decision to stand against Duterte’s planned policies, she said she will not change her petition as she is always against death penalty. She added that the policy would still undergo debate and scrutiny.

Watch why De Lima is opposing the two policy plans of Duterte:
