Former Solicitor General Florin Hilbay an erstwhile Otso
Diretso senatorial candidate in the last midterm elections is making headlines
again.
He is slamming the
government authorities for terrorizing a peaceful protest against the
Anti-Terrorism bill at the University of the Philippines (UP) in Cebu.
“Yung Anti-Terror
Bill na rally sa UP Diliman mapayapa at maayos. Yung Anti-Terror Bill rally sa
UP Cebu may mga naaresto,” read his Twitter post.
The former SolGen during the term of former
President Benigno Simeon “Noynoy” Aquino III points out the difference between
the two protest activities was that “nang-gulo yung kapulisan.”

“They’re the ones
who inflicted terror on citizens exercising their rights peacefully,” he
stressed.
The former SolGen himself
has also expressed opposition to the Anti-Terrorism bill authored by the allies
of President Rodrigo Duterte.
“Filipinos are being
told they need protection against terrorism by those who have been terrorizing
them,” he had pointed out.
A few days ago, three students, four members of
progressive groups and a bystander were arrested by members of the Philippine
Natioal Police (PNP) in Cebu while they were holding a rally inside the state university
– University of the Philippines against the Anti-Terrorism bill.
According to PNP Cebu City Police Office the
protesters were arrested because they violated the government imposed ban on
mass gatherings aimed at preventing the spread of COVID-19.
