Philippine bill proposes death penalty by firing squad for officials convicted of corruption.

A Philippine bill proposes the death penalty by firing squad for public officials convicted of corruption. House Bill 11211, introduced by Zamboanga Representative Khymer Olaso, covers all officials from the President down to local ranks, including the military and police. The death penalty would apply to convictions of graft, malversation, and plunder, but only after Supreme Court affirmation and exhausting all legal remedies.
