tv MANILA - Senator Risa Hontiveros on Thursday said she opposed the Senate-approved Anti-Terrorism Act as some provisions could be used to target organizations expressing dissent against ‘powers that be’.

"Government should do everything in our power to protect our people from terrorism, lalo na yung mga ugat niyan. At the same time, we must never sacrifice or be in danger of sacrificing yung ating mga democratic freedoms and civil liberties in the name of security and safety," Hontiveros said. On ANC's Headstart, Hontiveros said she objected the provisions on preliminary proscription of suspected terrorist organizations prior to be given the chance to be heard, and on lowering the standard for warrantless arrest and detention.

"Mahirap if we are giving a more powerful instrument that may now or in the future be used by administrations na wala talagang pagtingin sa demokratikong karapatan ng mamamayan," she said. The Senate voted on Wednesday to approve on final reading the Anti-Terror Act sponsored by Sen. Panfilo Lacson. Senate Bill No. 1083 effectively repeals the Human Security Act of 2007."Alam natin na kapag hindi benevolent, kung 'di despotic yung implementors, may mga human rights violations na maaring mangyari, at nangyari noong nakaraan in that process of trying to prove the guilt of a suspect," she said.

Because terrorism hides under the so called freedom fo expression.

Snakes Don't Eat themselves TellittoyourComunistFriends

Kasi nga sabi ni risa noon ang Matue Group daw ay hindi terrorist. 😂

Kase terorista ang NPA?

As they say - one man’s terrorist is another man’s Freedom fighter.

It's ok, you will never know when it's coming!

If you're a NPA natural lang ayaw mo talaga.

What Risa is doing is good. Distancing herself to LP which are confirmed Election losers, while being active and being efficient working on her own. The Pastillas expose is very good. She should be commended for that.

as usual .... against anti terrorist measures.... in love talaga sa cpp npa ndf

Kaya mas maganda pa walang democracy minsan. Hindi maka move forward dahil sa mga taong to.

Tang ina mo talaga Hontivirus.. MakaTerrorista ka talaga. npaka obvious mo.

Ok yan. Strict. Para pang deter sa mga may criminal mindset.;)

Sen Lacson said that various groups, including militant group, and CHR were invited during the public hearing on the proposed bill. These groups should have objected or protested when the bill was heard because some of the provisions are prejudicial to them. Did they?

Hilig talaga mag-post ang ABS-CBN ng ANTI-GOVERNMENT sentiment ng mga opsyal na madalas pumanig sa mga kalaban ng gobyerno.

hay nku.

This is one of the many reasons why democracy doesn't work, it narrows down the capability of these communist in using freedom of expression as a scapegoat to justify their act in antagonizing our country.

NPA supporter po ba kayo?

Takot kasi alam nya na terrorism lang naman ang goal ng communists at mga allied organizations

If the law is not clear, it is subject to multiple interpretations, then that law is half-baked. It will lead to confusion.

tae tlga ng tao na toh kung wala kang tiwala sa gibyerno sana namundok k nlng.tutal sanay k nmn ata dun .bkit ang admin lng ba na toh ang ggamit ng batas na toh. magagamit toh habang buhay.tæ

IF they resort to terrorism. That's the point, madam.
