As the new law threatens constitutionally-protected freedoms, Bayan Muna Representative Carlos Zarate urged the public to become more vigilant, remain united, and report any violations of human rights.

Calling the anti-terror law the"death warrant to human rights," ACT Teachers Representative France Castro said that the President ignored strong public opposition to the measure when he signed the bill into law. "The new anti-terror law repeals the less repressive 'Human Security Act of 2007' which provided for safeguards for fundamental freedoms. These safeguards were all obliterated by the 'Anti-Terrorism Act of 2020' and replaced with motherhood declarations which are orphaned by oppressive provisions," Lagman said.
