Sotto assures anti-terror bill can’t be used to ‘harass, silence’ gov’t critics

He said what the measure seeks for is to be able to “bring peace of mind and heart among Filipinos that they are safe from the menace of terrorists.”

“The threat of nefarious individuals disrupting our peaceful lives is something that we all fear about, but is something that lawmakers can do something about,” Sotto said. “The approval by the Senate of the new Anti-Terror Act comes at the most opportune time as the government moves to strengthen its security forces in their determined fight against international and local terrorism,” he added.

Sotto explained that the said bill would guarantee that “those who will be part of bringing terror among our people will be made accountable and punished for their actions, and we remain hopeful that the punitive and legal sanctions will discourage our people, especially the young, from giving up their freedoms and joining the cause of terrorist groups.”

“I am confident that this measure will help make our country safe from global and local threats, and help make true our ultimate prayer of peace for our families and love ones,” he added.

CMRamosINQ Sotto you’re bill no effect at all. Look at Sen De Lima case? You’re doing nothing!

CMRamosINQ Really?! Eh ngayon pa lang grabe na ang pag harass nyo sa media and critics!

CMRamosINQ Kill all terrorists and its sympatizers!! Yeahhhhh

CMRamosINQ Escalera ka eh....

CMRamosINQ The bill is obviously designed to safeguard the president from critics. tyranny2020 When the more appropriate bill would be to safeguard the citizens from a vindictive, psychopath, mysoginistic president. democracy2020

CMRamosINQ You are Not the Police, Sotto!!! Easy for you to say that!!!😏😏🙄🙄

CMRamosINQ Grabeng batas yan

CMRamosINQ There are sufficient safeguards to protect even critics? Example is how Rodrigo was able to fabricate charges against de lima; baseless quo Warranto against sereno; as well as manufactured matrix, sedition charges and void ab initio moves against Trillanes!

CMRamosINQ Did they even think that someday this bill will be used against them? Gusto ko malaman yung reasons ng 19 senators bakit approved sa kanila ito. I am just curious.

CMRamosINQ ISA Lang ibig sabihin ayaw nilang ma tag na terrorist

CMRamosINQ When the President speaks many of Upper Chamber is silent.

CMRamosINQ Ganun b mr pepsi sabihin mo yan pgng huli n bobo

CMRamosINQ What sotto_tito meant was, with or without the bill duterte can STILL harass & silence you!

CMRamosINQ Time and again!

CMRamosINQ Only terrorists are enemies of the State, not critics, not even those with unfounded allegations.

CMRamosINQ Never trust a politician!

CMRamosINQ In this administration? Nah.
