The bill defined terrorism as engaging in the following acts with the purpose of inciting fear and seriously destabilizing structures in the country, among others:Causing extensive damage or destruction to a government or public facility, public place, or private property;Developing, manufacturing, possessing, acquiring, transporting, supplying, or using weapons, explosives, or biological, nuclear, radiological, or chemical weapons;Under SB 1083, those who will propose, incite, conspire, and...

The measure also contains an important provision on the rights of suspected persons, requiring law enforcement agencies to notify the Commission on Human Rights whenever a person is detained. "If security officials and law enforcers are doing their job, why will it take them long to file a case? Or, is the practice of arrest-and-detain-now, produce-or-invent-evidence-later still prevalent? As it was when opposition leader Jovy Salonga was arrested, detained, and charged in 1981?" Pangilinan said, referring to the terrorism case filed against Salonga during the Martial Law era.

Mabuhay kayo mga Senators at mamatay na ang mga salot na NPA at terorista!!!

Sayang ang buwis ng taong bayan sa pa sweldo sa mga senators na yan.

neogem5 1. Unrepentant plagiarist and protector of rapists. 2. Balimbing na fence sitter (how convenient!) at former fugitive. Notorious sa rubout while PNP chief. 3. Pinalaki sa nakaw kaya namulat na okay lang magnakaw. History revisionist.

Proud ako sa sarili ko kase hinde ko binoto mga yan!!!

I bet the last four have not read it. Reading without understanding is the worse thing a legislator can do to a law.

This country is again heading into another regime. The same pattern I saw. Burden on high debt. I could see the bad history repeats itself.

3 actors... im not surprised at all !!!

Such good company. No wonder.

Mga bano

I wonder what provisions of the bill Sen. Lapid added/suggested.

Thank God I didn’t vote for these people.

“My” senator? I didn’t vote for five duds and a hollow block.

Yung mga nakisayaw ng budots budots, anuna.

🤮🤮🤮

Throw them all in the trash👍👍👍

yun oh lito lapid dabest 🙌

Sen. Imee. For once, be on the right side of history. Please vote no!

yung 2 magnanakaw, yung isa mamatay tao, yung isa rapist, yung isa artista at isang utak pulbura. Kaya pala.

Hope they had considered that the govt. can also be terroristic in its actions as had happened throughout the history of nations.

'Those who have committed, are about to commit, or are supporting those who commit terroristic acts should be prosecuted and penalized accordingly' - about to commit?
