The Supreme Court in 2013 junked a petition questioning the constitutionality of the 2007 human security act,that the possibility of abuse was merely speculative, thus ruling that a facial challenge was not allowed. Spokesperson Harry Roque also challenged before the Supreme Court for violations of due process and universal laws on human and civil rights.

The justice pointed out that in the 2007 human security act, arrest and detention without a court warrant should result"from the surveillance under Section 7 and examination of bank deposits under Section 27 of this Act."This limitation under the 2007 Human Security Act is akin to the crime being committed in the presence of the police officer, for which warrantless arrests are allowed," said Carpio.

Carpio said facial challenge was also not allowed back then because"there was no provision penalizing freedom of speech in the 2007 Human Security Law."

Lacson: Anti-terror bill adheres to Bill of RightsSenator Panfilo M. Lacson today said the Anti-Terrorism Act of 2020 aims to secure the Philippines and protect its people from domestic and foreign terrorists like the Abu Sayyaf and the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). Why the urgency? We are asking you all to take a step back and study it more... rewrite, clarify, put more details to it so that it won’t be used as a means for ABUSE!!! LMAO True! People should really be more informed kasi about the details of the bill - not only the negative implications brought on by those who haven't read the actual bill
