Manny Pacquiao apologizes for death penalty joke

After his first privilege speech as a senator, Pacquiao made a ‘death by hanging’ joke upon the interpellation of Senator Tito Sotto on which mode of death penalty he prefers. The Majority Floor leader enumerated four methods used in death penalty: hanging, firing squad, electric chair and lethal injection.

“Para po sa akin sa ngayon e, nananaig ngayon ang hanging or firing squad,” Pacquiao responded.

Sotto prodded on and asked the reason for his choice, “Dahil mura o ano?,” to which Pacquiao replied: “Sisipain lang po ‘yung upuan.”

The two senators, together with some of the people within the hall burst into laughter. Pacquiao returned to the podium and added: “Puwede lang po natin sabihin na natumba ang upuan e.”
