"Kahit
napirmahan natin, patuloy—patuloy iyong pakikiusap, patuloy iyong pagtutulak,
patuloy iyong pag-push back," she said in an interview
She highlights the sentiments of the Bangsamoro
Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao who feared that their people would be subjected to
discrimination with the law's vague definition of terrorism.
"Ito iyong mga taong malawak iyong
karanasan sa terorismo, na sana nabigyan ng mas malaking lugar sa lamesa para
pakinggan," said Robredo.
Robredo added that it
was "frustrating" that the law was signed in the middle of a
pandemic.The Vice President also noted that although the law has safeguards,
these are not enough to protect the people from abuse of the measure.
