President Duterte had vetoed (Like Saying Nope, Thou Shalt Not Pass) the bill of prohibiting the spanking, etc. of children to discipline them. Here in my country it is acceptable to spank (with care) children if they would commit bad deeds just to discipline them.
For me it is not good to prohibit the spanking or corporal punishment of children because it will do them more harm than good if they are not disciplined with regards to instilling them to do what is right in their lives so that they will not to turn to be little brats that are hard-headed and doesn't respect the law or anyone of authority.
In the bible there is a passage that spanking will do good to a child and it reads;
Proverbs 13:24 New King James Version (NKJV)
24 He who spares his rod hates his son,
But he who loves him disciplines him [a]promptly.
In another passage we can learn:
Proverbs 23:13-14 King James Version (KJV)
13 Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.
14 Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.
So disciplining a child with a rod is biblical but it doesn't mean that it is a child abuse as it means that you beat the child with care so that they would turn into a respectful and law-abiding part of society.
