‘Terror law’: The pet bill of the generals

claimed they had to release captured suspects behind the bombing in Isulan town in Sultan Kudarat because of what he called"permissive" measures under HSA. They couldn't build a case within the 3 days that the law required them to charge the suspects.

In February, the Senate approved a proposed measure that would give the Anti-Terrorism Council the power to detain suspects without warrant for 14 days, which may be extended for another 10 days, or a total of 24 days. They would also allow suspects to be wiretapped for 60 days, which may be extended for another 30 days, or a total of 90 days.

The new law could do more harm than good, warned former Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao governor Mujiv Hataman, who is now congressman of the lone district of Basilan province. "My real contention, where I feel uneasy, is the issue of warrantless arrests. I feel it's unfair for us in the House of Representatives that we are not allowed to amend Section 29," he said. He abstained from voting.

Hataman said he would have pressed for more safeguards to protect citizens from abuse. He also lamented why the new law discarded penalties for wrongful arrests committed. Most of the country's high-profile terrorists already face outstanding warrants of arrests."If we're able to do it that way, why do we need [this law]? We have the manpower and ability to file cases against terrorists at large," Dimaporo said.Progressive party-list groups in the House of Representatives are concerned more than others.

Anti-terrorism bill: either our lawmakers are naive about our current leaders or they’re naive. If not, matbe they’re naive.
