MANILA - Vice President Leni Robredo on Wednesday questioned the timing of the anti-terror bill, which President Rodrigo Duterte certified as urgent, and urged lawmakers to instead focus their attention to immediate efforts against the coronavirus disease pandemic.
"Ang masasabi natin ukol sa Anti-Terrorism Act of 2020: Wala ni isa sa mga nabanggit kong pangangailangan ang matutugunan ng batas na ito," she added, noting that public transportation in areas under general community quarantine are lacking and government has yet to achieve its goal of 30,000 daily coronavirus tests.
"Sa kabilang banda, maraming probisyon ang nakatutok sa pagpapalawak ng kung sino ang puwedeng bansagang terorista, at sa pagbabawas ng mga checks and balances laban sa mga wrongful arrest," she said. "Especially in the wrong hands—in the hands of people who have no qualms about using disinformation, inventing evidence, or finding the smallest of pretexts to silence its critics—napakamapanganib ng kapangyarihang ito ," she said.
ImForLeni You should read the articles about anti terrorism bill, and ask the “taong bayan” too, Maybe youre just NOT aware that majority of us want that Bill! And we also want that leftist politicians to live behind bars! Be careful,if you are one of them.
ImForLeni Are you really a Vice Pesident? Leni Robredo? As long as there is NO VACCINE, COVID will not stop, its like flu or a cold, it will continue to reoccur and vaccination is the only solution to stop it. When do think is the right time for anti terrorism bill?
The president is scared that people will unite against the start of his dictatorship ruling. Anyone who are 'deemed terrorist' by the government will be persecuted, even if you are just practicing your right or your freedom of speech.
The US already moved on from Covid overnight during the protest.
Covid19 continues til next generation, so when is the right timing are you talking about MADAM VP?

Ambigat sa dibdib ng gobyerno 😭😭😭 JUNKTERRORBILLNOW

Yeahh Indeed Right! Period.
'pagnilay'isang salita na lumabas sa labi ni VP Lani na salita din mula sa panginoon na sabi nang panginoon bago nyo gawin ang isang bagay pagnilayan nyo hindi lang sampung beses kundi isang daang beses para hindi mo pagsisihan ang hakbang na gagawin mo.
Lumaban ka na
We're getting puppet with this law. JunkTerrorBill
