Conundrum

Well, here is a conundrum for the VP. Apparently, Marfe, the suspect in the kidnap and rape of a 4-month old baby has appealed to VP Leni.

"Marfe admitted that he is also in (sic) the influence of drugs when the incident happen. "Bangag ako noon kaya di ko makontrol ang ginagawa ko. Patawarin nyo sana ako. Sabi nga ni Madam Leni, dapat bigyan ng chance ang mga Drug Addict na mag bagong buhay." Marfe said.'

It is easy for VP Leni to make general platitudes and statements, but here is a real-life case. It is a great opportunity for her to let the nation know exactly where she stands. If convicted, what sentence should Marfe get? What is a just punishment? Does she think Marfe can be rehabilitiated?

The OVP should come out with a press release or press conference that answers these questions and clarifies her stance.
