MANILA, Philippines – Filipinos online were quick to condemn on Friday, May 29, the new version of the anti-terror bill.
The backlash came after the House of Representatives committee on public order and safety approved the substitute version of the Human Security Act. This would further strengthen law enforcement’s campaign against terrorism. #JunkTerrorBill topped Twitter trends for the Philippines, associated with keywords #OustDuterte and “ACTIVISM IS NOT TERRORISM.”Netizens slammed the bill, calling it another way to silence government’s critics. They branded as an attack on freedom of speech and an avenue for red-tagging the new version of the bill broadens the scope of what is considered"terroristic acts." (

Hoi Rappler wag kayung masyadong romanticize, Filipinos slammed🤣🤣..WTF, parang kayo lang at mga kakarampot Na dilawangtae Lang, tapos maka headlines Kala MO boung PINAS, Your nothing but clown journalists..
Scammer Alert
Gush, kung ano anong bill pinapasa nila. Samantalang walang aksyon sa totoong problema ng bansa. They are a representative of the people instead they are representing thier personal motive kahit sa panahon ng pandemya.
I find the title misleading. How did Twitter represent 'Filipinos' in general. Maybe say something like 'SOME Filipinos slam...'

Taking from China's playbook.
My thoughts? Good. Finally, we can throw Communists in blacksite prisons where they belong.
