— Filipinos took to social media to criticize the new anti-terrorism bill after it was approved by lawmakers on Friday.
The Senate approved in February Senate Bill 1083, or the proposed Anti-Terrorism Act of 2020, which seeks to extend the number of days suspected terrorists can be detained without a warrant of arrest – from three days under the current law to up to 14 days, extendable by another 10 days. Opposition Senators Risa Hontiveros and Kiko Pangilinan voted against the bill, raising concerns over key provisions, among them allowing the police and military to conduct a 60-day surveillance on suspected terrorists and compelling telcos to disclose their calls and messages.
