Leah Navarro on anti-terror bill: “How about we label Duterte as terrorist no. 1?”

Singer Leah Navarro criticized the government and President Rodrigo Duterte for pushing for the anti-terror bill.

In a tweet, Navarro asked if Duterte was qualified to be declared as terrorist if ever that the controversial bill becomes a law, saying that the chief executive destroyed the country through his policies like Oplan Tokhang.

The actress made the said tweet when President Duterte certified the anti-terror bill as urgent.

“How about we label Duterte as Terrorist No.1? He’s done more than enough to deserve it. He’s terrorized us for years through Tokhang-EJK, a horrible lack of good governance, dr*g-induced rants, and lately, mismanagement of the pandemic,” Navarro said.

In another post, Navarro said that if a controversial bill passed as a law, the people should use it against the President.

“If this Anti-Terrorism Act ever passes into law, proper retribution would be for it to be used against Duterte and every God-forsaken legislator that supported it. They’ve terrorized Filipinos with their corruption for too long,” she said.

She also claimed that it was meant to be misused by the government.

Despite the opposition from many groups, celebrities, and politicians, lawmakers assured that they put enough safeguards to the bill to prevent anyone from misusing it.

Senate President Vicente “Tito” Sotto III said that only terrorists and their supporters should be afraid of the said bill.

Another senator, Panfilo “Ping” Lacson denounced the disinformation being spread by the critics of the government about the measure.

“To the critics, I dare say: I hope the day will not come when you or any of your loved ones will be at the receiving end of a terrorist attack, so much so that it will be too late for you to regret convincing the Filipino people to junk this landmark legislation,” Lacson said.

The said bill only needs President Duterte’s signature now after it got 168 support from the lawmakers during the final reading.

It seems that ABS-CBN’s top actor and defender Coco Martin decided to take a break on social media, one month after his home network was forced to shut down by the government.

Fans of Martin was surprised after they saw the Instagram account of Martin already inaccessible.

A few weeks ago, Martin went viral on the internet after he used his social media page to criticize the government and defend ABS-CBN from the critics.

It even reached to the point that the actor told the critics of ABS-CBN that he would kick them if they try to watch Probinsiyano once that the network issue is over.

“Tama na wag kana umiyak babalik kami sadyang may mga Demonyo lang talaga na tao ngayon na gusto tanggalan ng kaligayanhan ang mga tao at ng hanap buhay na pinagkukunan ng kanilang kakainin sa araw araw!” Martin said in one of his Instagram post.

“Pag balik namin pag sasapakin ko lahat ng tuwang tuwa ngayon na sarado na ang ABS CBN!!” he added.

Even Solicitor General Jose Calida slammed the actor for writing social media posts against him and to the government.

“If I had not been the Solicitor General, I would have called his bluff and make him eat his words,” Calida said.

The camp of the actor is not yet revealing the reason why Martin decided to close down his Instagram.

However, fans already speculated that Martin’s break on social media might be connected to the upcoming return of his show ‘Ang Probinsiyano’ in Kapamilya Channel on June 13.

 

 

 

Soldier’s open letter to critics of anti-terror bill: “Pauwiin niyo nalang kami at kayo ang pumalit sa amin!”

A soldier writes an open letter to the critics of the controversial anti-terror bill.

On June 5, Facebook page “Hugot Sundalo” published the letter of the unnamed soldier, questioning why most of the people criticizing the said bill are living in Luzon where there’s only a little terrorist activity compared to Visayas and Mindanao.

The writer of the letter was saddened that most of the people opposing the said law never experienced being victimized by the terrorists.

“Nakakalungkot isipin na mga tiga Luzon na hindi naman nakaranas ng pananamantala at pang aabuso ng mga terorista ang naglalakas-loob na lumalaban sa batas na ito,” the author said.

“Nakakatawa na lang isipin na sinisigaw niyo na minamahal nyo ang bansang Pilipinas ngunit hindi ninyo sinasaalang-ala ang buhay ng mga kapatid ninyo sa Mindanao na pangunahing apektado sa kamay ng mga terorista,” 

He even said that the people opposing it were privilege enough to live in the comfort of their homes with their families as they’re living far from the terrorist strongholds.

“Sabagay nga naman ninyo alam yung hirap, dahil naninirahan kayo sa magagarang tahanan, nakakatulog kayo ng mahimbing at nakakasama ninyo ang inyong pamilya ng matiwasay,” 

The critics of the said bill, according to author were not aware of the struggles being experienced by the soldiers.

“Walang may alam sa inyo ng mga gabing halos wala kaming tulog habang kayo ay naghihilik; hindi ninyo alam yung sakit na hindi kami makauwi sa mahahalagang okasyon habang kayo ay masayang nagtitipon-tipon; hindi ninyo alam kung ano ang pakiramdam na malagasan ng kasamahan habang kayo ay malayang nakakasigaw; wala kayong alam sa lahat ng sakripisyon ng libu-libong sundalo na nauna na sa amin para lamang mailigtas ang kapwa natin Pilipino laban sa terorismo,”

He then asked the people opposed anti terror bill to just replace the soldiers fighting the enemy of the states.

‘Pauwiin niyo na kami. AT KAYO NA LANG ANG PUMALIT SA AMIN. Minsan naiisip ko na sana kayo na lang, kayo na lang sana ang ilang araw na hindi natutulog para lang maprotektahan ang mga mamamayan; kayo na lang sana ang humihiga sa basa at malamig na damuhan habang umuulan; sana kayo na lang ang hindi nakakasaksi ng panganganak ng inyong kabiyak; sana kayo na lang yung hindi makauwi kahit na nasa bingit na ng kamatayan ang inyong kapamilya; sana kayo na lang ang walang awang pinapatay, niyuyurakan at binabalasubas ng mga terorista; kayo na lang sana ang namanatay kahit hindi nasisilayan ang mga anak; kayo na lang sana yung nilalamayan at iuuwi sa pamilya ng bangkay na. Kayo na lang sana,”

“DAHIL HANGGA’T HINDI NINYO NARARANASAN ITO, HUWAG NINYONG SABIHING MAY ALAM KAYO SA TERORISMO,”

 

The post already reached 30,000 shares on social media as of writing.

Anti terrorism bill was opposed by celebrities, groups and some politicians, arguing that its prone from being misused by the government.

Kim Chiu’s “Bawal Lumabas” might set another record as she received a tremendous amount of dislike in just 12 hours after Youtube channel Wish 107.5 featured her viral hit.

Despite the warning from some netizens, the radio station still uploaded the performance of Kim Chiu and now it received negative reactions from the netizens who followed the Youtube channel to listen to their idol OPM artists.

“Ang daming magagaling na artist sa larangan ng musika na hindi nabibigyan ng pagkakataon maipakita yung talento na meron sila dahil sa mga ganito,” netizen Che Corona said.\

“And she’s so proud of her song! Wake up Kim! You are the current laughing stock of this country! That Wish Bus seat is deserved by someone who can produce and sing a useful song nowadays,” netizen Rodnie Gonzales remarked.

Wish 107.5 Youtube channel said that Chiu’s song was a testament that a “seemingly unfortunate experience in life can be turned into something positive”

As of writing, the video of Chiu already received 1.4-M views, 354,000 dislikes, and 53,000 dislikes.

She also surpassed the 337,000 dislikes got by Raffy Tulfo’s Youtube video about a mother who complained about the teacher of her son.

 

Despite the criticisms received by Chiu’s song, the actress still continues to promote ‘Bawal Lumabas’ and launched merchandise based on her song to help charities.

A few days ago, Chiu also faced controversy and was invited by the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) after she was accused of dancing her song in the middle of the traffic.

Chiu’s song was based to her popular ‘law of classroom’ statement which she made when she’s trying to defend her home network ABS CBN from the critics.

She then apologized for her remark, saying that she also didn’t understand what she said.

Senator Panfilo “Ping” Lacson defended the anti-terrorism bill against the disinformation being spread by its critics.

In a statement on June 4, Lacson hoped that the critics of the anti-terror bill would not be a victim of terrorist organizations someday.

The said bill was criticized by different celebrities including Miss Universe winners Catriona Gray and Pia Wurtzbach.

“To the critics, I dare say: I hope the day will not come when you or any of your loved ones will be at the receiving end of a terrorist attack, so much so that it will be too late for you to regret convincing the Filipino people to junk this landmark legislation,” he said.

Lacson also said that people should not believe some of the fake news about the said measure, saying that it was made to protect the people and not to destroy the critics of the government.

According to him, they’re always thinking of the constitution and basic human rights while they’re conducting hearing about the said bill.

Lacson also said that some of the provisions they put in the bill was inspired by the anti-terrorism laws being implemented in strong democratic countries like the United States and Australia.

He also said that the Philippines has a shorter reglementary period of detention compared to “Thailand with up to 30 days; Malaysia, up to two years; Singapore at 720 days extendible to an indefinite period of detention without formal charges; and Indonesia, up to 120 additional days,” 

“Safeguards have been put in place to ensure the rights of those detained,” the Senator said.

The Senator said that the Human Security Act of 2007 only convicted one individual.

Only Nur Sapian, a recruiter of the Maute group was convicted under the 2007 law.

Senate President Vicente “Tito” Sotto III assured that no one could misuse the anti-terrorism bill once it passed as a law.

In a statement, Sotto said that the critics of the anti-terrorism bill should do more research.

He also stated that only terrorist and their supporters should be afraid of the anti-terrorism act.

“I suggest they read the bill first before reacting,” Sotto said.

“Terrorists or their supporters are the only ones who will be afraid of the bill,” he added.

Sotto announced that the anti-terror bill would surely pass the senate despite the opposition from different groups.

“It’s as good as passed. It will just need my signature if it comes back to us after ratification then I will transmit to the President,” Sotto said in a text message

Meanwhile, Senator Panfilo Lacson said that there’s enough safeguards in the law so no one could misuse it once it passed as a law.

“The concerns being raised by the progressive and leftist groups as well as human rights advocates have been adequately addressed during the Committee on National Defense and Security public hearings, as well as the debates and interpellations in plenary,” Lacson said in a statement.

“Enough safeguards are in place. The critics – some of whom had been extended the opportunity to help craft the bill – should read first the bill itself to see for themselves what I am saying,” he added.

Lacson said that they’re “duty-bound” to make laws that would meet “international standards” and “fulfill state obligations with the UN”.

He also claimed that the current anti-terrorism law in the country was one of the “weakest” in the world.

Critics of the anti-terrorism bill like Senator Francis Pangilinan said that the government should prioritize the COVID-19 pandemic instead of the said act.

“Pagtuunan ng pansin ang mga walang masakyang public transport ngayong GCQ, ang mass testing at contact tracing, at pagbangon ulit ng ating kabuhayan,” he said.

“Whole of government di ba? Heal as one di ba? Gamot ba ang panukalang batas sa COVID-19 o gagamiting panakip-butas sa mga kapalpakan?” he added.

Chiu’s song was based on her well-known statement about the ABS-CBN franchise issue.

“Sa classroom may batas, bawal lumabas, oh bawal lumabas. Pero ‘pag sinabi, ‘pag nag-comply ka na bawal na lumabas pero may ginawa ka sa pinagbabawal nila, inayos mo ‘yong law ng classroom niyo at sinumbit mo ulit ay pwede na pala ikaw lumabas.” Chiu said.

The lady was punished for jaywalking while her driver was also fined for reckless driving.
