Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana told a recent joint hearing of the Senate committees on national defense and security and on finance that the Human Security Act be amended, particularly to, among others, broaden the bugging power of the government.“Of course, to know the network.

For Albayalde, this will also help authorities locate where the financial support of terrorists come from.Aside from augmenting the timeframe allowed for wiretapping, Albayalde also supports the proposal to increase the period during which a suspected terrorist can be detained. Under the prevailing law, a suspected terrorist may only be held up to three days or 72 hours.
The PNP chief then shunned fears that amending the Human Security Act could result in abuse by government forces. “This is a very negative thinking lagi. Look at this… on the positive side. Ito po ay para sa karamihan. Itong mga batas na ginagawa natin, ito ang nakikita natin to address future problems,” he said.
“We have to think about this already dahil hindi po biro ‘yung problem on terrorism . This is worldwide at alam natin dito sa Pilipinas meron na tayong sariling problema ,” he added. /kga
