Manila, Philippines | Miss Marine Universal Philippines S5 is Karen Ibasco of Negros Oriental. Miss Ibasco is now the official representative of the Philippines in the Miss Marine Universal S5 on December. The TOP 6 Finalist were asked to answer this question "HOW DOES YOUR RELIGIOUS FAITH AFFECT YOUR VIEWS ON THE DEATH PENALTY ?" and here is Miss Negros Oriental's answer: "Bilang isang katoliko naniniwala ako na ang may karapatan lamang na bumawi nang buhay na ipinahiramin sa ating wlaang iba kundi ang nagiisang hesu kristo, pero naniniwala ako na ang halaga ng buhay ay mababalewala pagdating sa tinatawag nating ang usapung death penalty, spagkat naniniwala ako sitenta pursyento ng tao ay naniniwala ring ang death penalty ay kawalan nang kredibidad ng batas, at trenta pursyento ay pinaniniwalaang gawa nang tao mismo pero, lagi lamang nating iisipin na tao ay pantay pantay sa mata ng diyos at batas kaya tayo ang mga tao ay walang karapatang manghusga at kumitil ng buhay, isipin natin ang buhay ay parang sulo kailangan ng kaisipan upang lumaganap ang kabutihan salamat!"
