The dye has been
surely cast.
The opposition and
other groups know that the next battlefield as regards the constitutionality of
the Republic Act No. 11479, or Anti-Terrorism Act (ATA)
of 2020 would be before the highest court of the land – the Supreme Court (SC).
Opposition senator Francis “Kiko” Pangilinan is urging the individuals and concerned
groups to “besiege” the High Court with
petitions just to make a point
that a lot of Filipinos believe the ATA contravenes with the 1987 Constitution.

veteran lawmaker, who currently chairs the Senate committee on constitutional
amendments, said he would also
personally question the said law before the SC.
“We have to exhaust
all (legal) remedies. Whether we win or not is another thing altogether. But we
have to fight,” Senator Kiko said in a radio interview.

Robredo was quoted saying she will support every efforts to question the
Anti-Terrorism Act before the High Court.
“We can still do a
lot… We can go to the Supreme Court because we believe there are
unconstitutional provisions,” Robredo said in a television interview on
Saturday. “We can also continue to engage Congress to repeal or amend the
provisions that are not acceptable to us.”
