Sunshine Dizon broke her silence on the current situation of the country.
In a social media post, Dizon said that she realized that pretending to be blind was a greater sin than keeping their silence on the issues.
According to her, she wanted to live in the Philippines without fear of having to be a victim of powerful people who may misuse their authority and the law.
“Gusto ko pong mamuhay sa Pilipinas kasama ng aking mga anak, pamilya at mga kaibigan ng payapa at walang takot na may mga tao na mataas at makapangyarihan na pwedeng abusuhin ang batas na dapat ay poprotekta sa ating lahat,” said Dizon.
The actress then proceed to discuss the controversial anti-terror law.
“Gusto ko pong mamuhay na walang takot na ako ay pwedeng mapag susupetyahang terrorista dahil nilabas ko lang ang aking mga saloobin o ako’y sumali sa isang protesta,” she said.
“Hindi tamang mawalan tayo ng boses at karapatang pumuna kapag tayo ay may mga mali nang nakikita. Gusto kong lumaki ang aking mga anak sa ating bayan na malayang makakapagpahayag ng kanilang saloobin, rerespetuhin ang kanilang karapatang pantao,” she added.
Dizon clarified that while she’s in favor of a law that would prevent terrorism in the country, she’s also afraid that the current anti-terror law may misuse by powerful people.
The Kapuso actress then talked about the pandemic happening in the country and the closure of ABS-CBN.
She also encouraged people to fight for their rights.
“Nasan na ang kongrektong plano para sa bayan? Wala pa rin mass testing. Pero nagawang ipasara ang ABS-CBN at tanggalan ng hanap buhay ang higit sa 11,000 pamilya,” she said.
