Why tough new anti-terror bill strikes fear—even to non-terroristsBecause we dont trust the enforcers Media's negativity is one major factor why there is fear about anti terror law.

Hataman: Anti-terror bill could be used to tag anyone as a terroristIsa din tong bugok eh. Paano mo nga matututukoy at mahuhuli eh ngtatago sila dun sa mga pamayanan na tini-terrorize nila mismo..ang mga tao eh natatakot kasi nga babalikan sila pag nagsumbong. Kaya ang dapat, unahin yung mga financial supporter nila. San lugar b congressman to? The premise is in the definition of terrorism. Here's the bill's definition, which are clearly violent acts. If we're against the government but don't intend to do the ff, what are we scared of? Remember MRT3 bombing, remember the fear it brought, that is an ex. of terrorism. A SHAME that our Leaders are willingly goin down HISTORY, ON RECORD,as KILLERS of our FREEDOMS,Leaving a DARK LEGACY for generations of FILIPINOS to REMEMBER.With insatiable APPETITES,they stab Filipinos,who still bleed from this national pandemic.Even their Children are ashamed!
