Hontiveros and Pangilinan feels PH should focus on economic recovery not the anti-terror bill

Senator Risa Hontiveros and Senator Francis ‘Kiko’ Pangilinan rejected Senate Bill No. 1083 or the Anti-Terrorism Act. The said bill aims to virtually repeal the existing Human Security Act.

Sen. Hontiveros felt the whole exercise was a “misplaced priorities. A tragedy for democracy.”

“Sa panahong ang mga Pilipino’y nagkakasakit, nawawalan ng trabaho, walang masakyan, at nagugutom dahil sa COVID-19, ang inihaing solusyon ng gobyerno ay isang Anti-Terrorism Bill na pwedeng ipakulong ang mga nagrereklamo.”

For his part, Senator Pangilinan said the Filipino people need work, food, health service, public transport more than the anti-terror bill.

“Hindi natin kailangan ng Anti-terror bill, kailangan natin ng trabaho, pagkain, health service, public transport at maayos na serbisyo ng gobyerno.”
