the timeliness of the bill, which was passed while the country is grappling with problems brought by COVID-19 pandemic.
But for Senators Panfilo Lacson, Vicente Sotto III, and other supporters of the said bill, Duterte’s signing isas it amends the Human Security Act of 2007, which is allegedly prone to abuse by terrorists. Terrorism has been a growing threat in the Philippines, which faced several armed uprisings in the past — from Muslim rebels in Mindanao pledging allegiance to various extremist groups and the communist insurgency in the countryside.
In May 2017, Marawi was laid to siege by militants from the Maute group, resulting in a battle that lasted for over five months.While critics have condemned the law, Lacson and other supporters of the bill, like Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana, haveOlalia said, however, that the government would come to understand that people do not want the Anti-Terror Bill once the public pushes back.
“In time, we will look back to this day of infamy and say the unbridled and terrorizing power of the government will always bend and retreat eventually when the people push back hard enough,” he noted. [ac]
