The daughter of slain activist Jory Porquia has joined calls to reject the anti-terror bill, warning that once it is passed into law, incidents like her father's death would be part of the new normal under the Duterte government.
On the same day Tsinkay posted her open letters, Baronda asked that her name be omitted as one of the co-authors of the bill.
Baronda went on to say that she was looking into co-authoring a House resolution condemning the killing of Jory Porquia. “I called on our Ilonggo representatives because I wanted them to genuinely represent the people, their constituents, and protect our human rights and our constitutional rights,” she said in her open letters that gained traction online.She recalled that in December 2018, Tsinkay, her father, and a handful of other Ilonggo critics of the Duterte administration were red-tagged and labeled as “terrorists” in posters anonymously circulated and posted around the city.
The group gathered at Jaro Plaza in front of the Jaro Cathedral, their designated pickup point where the cars intended for the caravan had been parked.
