Two of the most senior justices of the Supreme Court expressed concern on the effects of the designation of suspected terror organizations and their members under the antiterrorism law on individual rights as enshrined in the 1987 Constitution.| MRamosINQ

Interpellated by Bernabe, Galandines said that while designated terrorists could be subjected to surveillance operations of the authorities, their designation by the ATC should not necessarily lead to their arrest.

“When a designation is made, it affects the reputation, both of the person and the property of the designee, is that not correct?” the chief magistrate asked Galandines. To which the chief justice replied, “Are you telling us that an administrative proceeding is not covered by the due process clause? That’s elementary in administrative law.”

She cited as an example the arrest of a person who was carrying an unlicensed gun and was seen by authorities in the company of a suspected terrorist.
