MANILA: Netizens are angry over the jobless father who killed his daughter when his wife refused to return home after three months in Canada and posted the girl’s lifeless body on the social media and strongly demanding death for him, reported the Philippine Daily Inquirer.
Following the arrest of Marc Alvin Manliclic, who stabbed dead his seven-year-old daughter and then posted the pictures of the dead child on his Facebook account in Quezon City, netizens created a Facebook community page to seek justice for Angel Mark Cathlene whose throat was slashed by her own father.
Facebook community also expressed their anger over the child’s death. “Bring back the death penalty!” Dinah Deluna was quoted as saying by Philippine Daily inquirer.
“The room of fire is waiting for him” Bem Tayag Nanquil said, referring to hell, the paper said.
Pete Mitchelle reportedly said, “Dude, I can’t imagine how [monstrous] you are. One thing is for sure, your conscience won’t give you peace.”
“I just hope that you rot in prison, be beaten up every day by inmates and die an agonizing death after a year,” Frances Marie Cua was quoted as saying in the report.
Some other netizens like Eric Matias and Joy Ibo Better wanted the death penalty back to curb the increasing heinous crimes in our country. According to them, people nowadays are not afraid to commit heinous crimes because of the lax laws that the Philippines has.
Some of them blamed the government for the lack of employment in the Philippines, forcing Filipinos to leave their families to work overseas.
Marian Socrates Mandayo said the government should find solutions so that Filipinos would no longer need to work abroad because opportunities are in the country.
The girl’s mother is an overseas Filipino worker. Jealousy and distance are common subjects of arguments between her parents.
