Sen. Bato Dela Rosa said that those who are against the anti-terror bill becoming law have only themselves to blame if it does not become law and they become victims of terrorism. Image
Rather than chastise a woke citizenry defending their democracy, Dela Rosa’s statement is actually an indictment of the State’s security forces, one half of which he led for a good 2 years into the Duterte administration.
He is actually saying that the PNP and AFP are useless in stopping terrorism inspite of an already existing law, the Human Security Act.

Regardless of your stand on the Anti-Terror Bill (ATB), these are the things which I feel are imperative for all of our citizens to know and understand, especially now that the bill is poised to become law. #JunkTerrorBillNow #AntiTerrorBill
I personally disagree with many of the provisions and the omissions in the bill, the reasons for which will be evident when you realize the magnitude of the implications that can be drawn and the consequences that will result from the implementation of this legislative measure.
Lawmakers who push for the passage of the #AntiTerrorBill say that the Financial Action Task Force requires a more stringent law on money laundering & terrorist financing to be passed by October 2020. Otherwise, there will be adverse economic consequences for the country.

Terror bill proponents say hirap daw ang gobyerno kasuhan ang suspected terrorists dahil sa kawalan ng ebidensya.

Pero di ba lumobo na nga ang confidential & intelligence funds ng gobyerno? Yung sa OP lang lumobo na sa P4.5b from ~P500m during Aquino's time (9x as high).
Halos kalahati ng total intelligence funds napunta lang sa Office of the President. At halos 2/3 ng total confidential funds napunta rin sa OP.
OP's 2020 budget = P8,201,318,000
Intelligence & confidential funds = P4,500,000,000

So MORE THAN HALF of the OP's budget ang intelligence, confidential funds. Tapos di kayo makabuo ng kaso vs terrorists at gusto pa ng bagong batas???

Don't us.

I’ve been asked to weigh in on the explosion of dummy accounts on Philippines Facebook especially in the wake of #JunkTerrorBillNow. Having tracked the evolution of disinfo campaigns since 2016, this is alarming as it represents a *break* from previous strategy. 1/8
Our recent NATO Stratcom study highlighted that in 2019 there was little evidence of automated influence; instead the strategies were 1) using micro-influencers and infiltrators of closed groups to manually seed narratives and 2) doubling-down on DDS-vs-dilawan rhetoric. 2/8
to me the use of automated "cheapfakes" raise the primary question of how this was actually done before we speculate on why this was done. I would begin by asking Facebook and cybersecurity investigators: 1) To what extent is this automated or manually operated? 3/8

This tweet admits the reason why a number of lawmakers have supported the #AntiTerrorBill and confirms the concerns and sentiments of those who oppose it--that it is to quell dissent toward the #DuterteKakistocracy and to clamp on free speech and the freedom of the press.
2/18
To begin with, all the countries mentioned in the senate president's tweet have either undergone oppressive governments under tyrants, registered poor ratings in free speech and press freedom, committed gross violations of human rights, or even banned religious freedom.

Thailand, for instance, had been ruled by men in uniform for 55 of the 83 years from 1932 to 2009. And it was ruled by a military junta from 2014 to 2019. Its politics also has a frammework of constitutional monarch. It may also be recalled that in 2007, a military

(A thread on how trolls use pro-people hashtags against us)
There are troll groups that pose as pro-people but will spam the use of a mistyped hashtag in order to remove the original hashtag from trending. This is usually done at non-peak hours so they can dominate and trend.
With the misspelled hashtag being the one people generally use at that time even people with legit calls who use twitter's autofill will unknowingly use the misspelled one.

You're not an activist, not a journalist, and generally not political, why be scared of Anti Terror Bill? Remember teachers Ronnel Mas of Zambales & Juliet Espinosa of GenSan; driver Ronald Quiboyen of Aklan, all charged with inciting to sedition.
Remember these drivers, arrested and charged, for protesting ban on public transport.
Remember Espinosa's son, who wanted the arresting officers to wait for their lawyer or to at least give his mother a chance to change to more decent clothes, but was instead arrested and jailed too for disobedience.

Ito ‘yung nakakatakot. Ito ‘yung dapat na URGENT. Ito ‘yung dapat na pagtuunan ng gobyerno. Ang #COVID19, hindi ang #AntiTerrorBill. #JUNKTERRORBILLNOW

May 19, ang sabi ng Pangulo, hindi na required ang mga workers na mag-undergo sa COVID testing.

#MassTestingNowPH
Kuwento ng isang kaibigan na employee sa isang malaking company. Mayroon silang branches sa mga malls.

Ang kuwento:

Mayroon akong breaking news, happened from our branch sa SM kahapon. Sa pagbukas namin, test + test result sa lahat ng empleyado is a must. Provided ng company.
Sa pagpasok namin, meron kaming PPE like face shield etc. Thanks sa company namin. So ‘yung branch namin sa SM__, nagbukas na. Syempre na-test + naka-PPE sila. Ang problema, ‘yung security guard, pinapasok ng agency na wala pang test result, lumabas result kahapon positive pala.
