If authorities have law enforcement concerns with the Muslim community, they should cooperate with them instead of resorting to a plan that tags them as “guilty until proven innocent,” Senator Risa Hontiveros said Saturday. | khallareINQ

“Maling-mali po yung ganyang profiling, very discriminatory and stigmatizing at mabuti’t tumutol yung mga lider at komunidad ng mga Pilipinong Muslim dito sa atin,” Hontiveros said in an interview over radio station DWIZ.

“Makipag-ugnay naman ng maayos ang ating law enforcement authorities sa ating mga kababayang Muslim kung may mga particular o malawakan man na mga law enforcement concerns, hindi sa ganyang paraan na parang guilty until proven innocent di ba?” Hontiveros added. She later said: “Maging mas pro-active tayo sa mga tugon sa mga ugat ng terrorismo man o criminalidad dito sa ating bansa at huwag mang-discriminate at mang-stigmatize sa kung sino mang mamamayan.”

Uhm, Campaign Against Terrorism tapos nililista pangalan ng mga muslim students? Hmmmmmmmm This is a form of oppression. Almost similar to Racism. Kung ganito din man lang pala, dapat lahat ng nag aaral ngayon sa PUP at UP ilista rin for 'possible' rebellious act. This goverment is nothing but bullshit
