Anti-Terrorism Bill: Weapon Against Critics of the Government

Wazzup Pilipinas!

President Rodrigo Duterte has certified a measure seen to toughen up the government’s anti-terrorism policies. Galawang gobyernong naninigurong walang kokontra at magrereklamo sa mga kapalpakan nila.

Did I miss something? Why did they come up talking about anti-terrorism in the height of pandemic?

The new bill also proposes 12 years of imprisonment for any person who "joins" designated "terrorist organisations or group(s)".

Further, the measure exempts law enforcers from liability for illegal detention or failing to present an arrested person to a court with the prescribed period.

In this world you have to understand that people in authority have a tendency to use authority for selfish  benefits. Happens all the time.

Fact check : Sa isang bansa kung saan mismong opisyal ng gobyerno ang numero unong pasaway at una pang lumalabag sa batas.. opisyal na silang may mga sinumpaang tungkulin magtaguyod, bansang kung saan ang mga anomalya ay hindi mabilis na sinisiyasat, kung saan ang mga tao ay basta basta nalang ikukulong at malala pinapatay.. yung bang hindi kana idinaan sa paglilitis.. binigti kana kaagad. MAHIRAP MAGTIWALA SA ISANG PATAS AT MAKATARUNGAN NA PAGPAPATUPAD NG BATAS.

It's not about the bill, but about trust.  If people trust that the bill will not be selectively used against them, they will probably be more agreeable.

This bill is in effect contradicting the 1987 Philippine Constitution Article lll Bill of Rights Section 4.

Section 4. No law shall be passed abridging the freedom of speech, of expression, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and petition the government for redress of grievances.

The anti-terror bill is being asked urgent because the government now has realized how badly they are and had been managing everything and sooner or later, people will become too restless and frustrated about how the Philippines has been for the last 4 years.

They are all protecting themselves not to be criticized for their wrongdoing. Ang mga Pinoy kawawa puwedeng sabihin nila na terrorista ka sa ano man oras.

Pag di natin pinigilan ang gobyernong to lahat tayo apektado nito, ako, ikaw, kapamilya mo, kaibigan mo, kamaganak mo, lahat tayo pwedeng maging biktima ng injustice sa ugali ng namumuno na power tripping na lahat gagawin masunod lang ang kanyang layaw dahil alipin din sya ng dayuhan lahat tayo paglalaruan lang nito - sisirain ang buhay nating lahat. Hindi ito anti or pro it's about us, TAYO mga PILIPINO - karapatang mamuhay ng mapayapa at ng maayos ng bawat isa. Buksan ang mga mata, tignan ang paligid, pinatunayan na to ng panahon - apat (4) na taon mas lumalala ang buhay natin ngayon, walang nagbago at walang pagbabago hanggang patuloy tayong mananahimik, matatakot at patuloy na magiging mangmang, nagiging alipin tayo ng sariling bansa, hindi makakakilos, hindi makakagalaw, nakatali, binabastos, ginagatasan, pinaglalaruan at inaalipin.

Again, this government is serving itself and protecting itself.

Ang asta ng gobyerno ay kahalantulad na rin ng china, kung kailan may kaguluhan isisingit nila un mga panukalang  alam nilang sensitibo sa bayan para mapadali ang pag pasa, isang pang sasamantantala sa kalagayan ng bayan.

What a coincidence China just approved the Hongkong anti-terror bill.

Are we going to be like China soon?
