Polygraph test should be allowed in the rules of evidence in the

Philippines
The use of polygraph tests as evidence in court has been a topic of debate in
the Philippines, but there are several reasons why they should be allowed in
the rules of evidence.
First, polygraph tests have been proven to be useful in various circumstances
as an investigative tool in numerous nations. When other evidence is absent
or unclear, the results of a polygraph test might offer important information.
Second, using polygraphs may help lighten the load on the legal system.
Polygraph tests can hasten investigations and stop cases from being
postponed or dismissed due to a lack of evidence by adding more information.
Third, using polygraph tests can help in defending the accused's legal rights. A
polygraph test can help prove a person's innocence if they have been unfairly
accused of a crime and keep them from being wrongfully convicted. Allowing
polygraph tests in court can also serve to boost public confidence in the
justice system. The public can be assured that the legal system is fair and just
by using all of the means at our disposal to ensure that justice is served.
Overall, there are many justifications for allowing polygraph tests under rules
of evidence in the Philippines. Although there are issues with their precision
and dependability, they can be resolved with the right training and control of
polygraph examiners. At the end of the day, polygraph tests can help to make
sure that justice is done and that everyone's rights are protected.
This affirmative side argues that polygraph tests should be allowed in the
rules of evidence in the Philippines. Polygraph tests are a valuable
investigative tool that can help determine the truthfulness of a witness or
suspect's statements. Admitting polygraph test results as evidence in court
can provide a fair and accurate representation of the truth. Many studies have
been conducted on the validity and reliability of polygraph tests, and the
results of the tests are generally accepted in legal proceedings. The time and
money required to resolve cases can be decreased with the use of polygraph
tests. Polygraph testing can assist in reducing the need for prolonged
investigations or in-depth cross-examinations by providing an objective
measure of truthfulness.
Moreover, polygraph tests can be a helpful tool when other evidence is lacking
or inconclusive. They can add another layer of verification for the prosecution
or defense, assisting in choosing the most appropriate option.
In conclusion, admitting the results of a polygraph test as evidence in court
can provide the truth a fair and accurate representation. The use of polygraph
tests can speed up case resolution, save time and money, gauge truthfulness
accurately, and be an effective tool when other evidence is lacking or unclear.
As a result, the Philippine rules of evidence should be amended to allow the
use of polygraph tests under the appropriate circumstances.
