DISSENT ≠ TERRORISM #JunkTerrorBill
Because of the Philippines’ poor governance in the midst of this pandemic, the number of people criticizing the Duterte administration has reached an exponential high. Because of this, they are fast-tracking a bill that allows our government to silence critics and activists, violating our human rights and strengthening state fascism.
As such, we would like to CALL FOR YOUR HELP.
Filipinos are holding an #EmailProtest at 8PM (GMT +8) every day, as a call to #JunkTerrorBill. Petitions mean nothing to the PH Government, so directly emailing them would be more effective.

This regime has been violent and oppressive from the start. Help stop the Bill that impedes the rights of the Filipino People.
— IMPORTANT UPDATE (06/03/20)
The Anti Terror Bill has passed its third and final reading. It allows wiretapping and ARREST WITHOUT WARRANT of ‘suspected terrorists’. Unless we do something about it, the bill will take effect fifteen days after the president’s approval.
Please. If you could, raise your voice with the Filipino People. We need the help now more than ever.
— IMPORTANT UPDATE (06/06/20)
Congress has not sent the enrolled anti-terror bill to Malacañang for President Duterte's signature, said Justice Sec Menardo Guevarra. Congress is urged not to transmit the bill yet in light of withdrawal of votes over questions on constitutionality. (source)
THE OUTRAGE IS WORKING. Please continue to voice out how draconian this bill is, so that they’d scrap it!
