Susmaryosep! Why are Filipino OFWs and the government have to pay blood money just so to prevent someone’s beheading (or something else)?!

Have they all forgotten the basics? When in Rome do what Romans do. And YES, that’s including following the laws.

Kaya na nga ayokong manood ng news sa gabi eh! Naha-high blood ako sa kabobohan ng iba!

Kasi, the fact remains that even under self-defense, killing is still killing. IMHO. If under the law of where ever the crime was committed, the consequence you have to face is death by disembowelment (or barbecued by fiberglass columns, my gosh!), then it is by diembowelment you shall die! It is just as simple as that!
