The bill that was
overwhelmingly voted upon in the halls of Congress is now a full pledge law
after the president signed it into such.
Members of the
Makabayan bloc especially Bayan Muna party-list Rep. Carlos Isagani Zarate s aid President Rodrigo
Duterte’s signing of the Anti-Terrorism Act “did not come as a surprise since
he certified it as urgent to concentrate more tyrannical powers in his hands at
the expense of the rights of our people.”
“This is indeed a
horrific day for the country as another darker era for human rights looms.
Malacanang naman din ang naglamadali ng terror bill na iyan kaya di na
nakakapagtaka,” said Zarate.

After months of protest
from the opposition lawmakers and human right groups the proposed measure was
finally signed by the President Friday (July 4).
“We would have to continue the fight in all
fronts until this terror law is junked. We will question its constitutionality
at the Supreme Court at the soonest time possible,” Zarate said.
“We call on all freedom loving Filipinos to be
very vigilant because darker days are ahead,” he said.
“We must remain united and report any and all
violations of human rights. An attack on one is an attack on everyone. We will
show them that in the face of repression an awakened people will resist and
fights back,” Zarate said.
