An abandoned community for the Philippines and all things Filipino! 🇵🇭

Suicide by cop is a thing though, mostly by those who can't gather enough motivation to off themselves.

It's indeed a stupid law. Though there might be scenarios where that law would be useful (like the imprisonment be replaced by a psychiatric evaluation and treatment) it's still stupid that suicide is criminalized.
