filo oomfs, if we can empathize with hk protesters and blm movement, i hope we also take time to speak up & be educated on the manifestation of state oppression and terrorism in the philippines. the anti terrorism bill has just been passed as a law now, and it is terrifying!
in the middle of the pandemic, the philippine govt prioritizes passing a law that threatens the lives of innocent people instead of proposing medical solutions. the law entails a very wide and vague definition of "acts of terrorism". what does this mean?
this means anyone who merely exercises their freedom of speech and right to peaceful assembly can be considered by the state as terrorists. even criticizing the govt is enough to be a basis. which is obv against our constitutional rights!
this entails wide crackdown on citizens and warrantless arrests! what can we do? actively oppose the anti-terrorism bill! this is an attack against humanity! #resistasone #junkterrorbill
there is an on going twitter rally right now. you can use the hashtags #junkterrorbill #resistasone and #oustduterte. our president is no different from trump. he clearly has no plan to prioritize the filipino people and even orders his army to kill them! GO!
