The Financial Executives Association of the Philippines said that while it acknowledges the importance of protecting lives and property from terrorism, its members are concerned over the provisions of the bill.

The group said a court should decide whether an individual can be tagged as a terrorist, instead of giving this authority to the proposed Anti-Terrorism Council. The group said that instead of expanding the state's powers to go after suspected terrorists, the government should instead focus on helping businesses recover from the crisis brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic.

"The most important bill to pass immediately is CREATE to allow the tax relief to be converted into salaries and business recovery, and then followed by other necessary economic stimulus measures. We urge Congress to call an emergency session to pass these extremely important bills."
