He said 784 local officials have backed the measure. These included 43 governors, 68 city mayors, and 673 municipal mayors, he said.

The antiterror bill has been the subject of criticism from rights groups, lawyers’ organizations, students, and activists due to its broad and vague definition of terrorism, which critics said could be used and abused to crack down on the opposition. They also questioned the 14-day detention without charges for terror suspects, which could be extended by 10 days.The Department of Justice will submit to Malacañang on Wednesday its comments on the antiterror bill which critics said contained provisions that violate the Constitution.
