An Act Amending Republic Act No. 7659 and the Revised Penal Code as Amended by Penalizing the Crime of Rape with Amputation of the Male Sexual Organ of the Offender and for other purposes

The Commission adheres to the principle that the State must protect life and must value the dignity of every person includes the protection to the dismemberment, and extends to the enjoyment of the use of God-given faculties.

The CHR being the vanguard of respect for human rights, appreciates the concern of the esteemed proponent of the bill on the proliferation of the incidence of rape. It, however, raises the caution that in offering solutions to such problems, respect for the life and dignity of human person must be foremost consideration.
