Duterte said Chinese President Xi Jinping told him during their recent meeting that if he ignored the Permanent Court of Arbitration’s 2016 ruling, China would agree to be the junior partner in a joint venture to develop gas deposits at the Reed Bank, located within Manila’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).
“Set aside your claim,” he said, quoting Xi. “Then allow everybody connected with the Chinese companies. They want to explore. If there is something, they said, we will be gracious enough to give you 60%, only 40% will be theirs. That is the promise of Xi Jinping.”
Filipinos took to social media to criticize the new anti-terrorism bill after it was approved by lawmakers on Friday.
During the joint meeting of the House Committees on Public Order and Safety and on National Defense and Security, most members voted in favor of a substitute bill designed to ease legal restrictions on law enforcers and strengthen the law against terrorism in the country.
The House joint committee’s adoption of the Senate version of the bill effectively repealed the Human Security Act of 2007 and approved a similar but still unnumbered substitute bill based on it.
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.
It also removed the provision under the Human Security Act that orders the payment of half a million pesos in damages for each day that a person wrongfully accused of terrorism is detained.
Furthermore, any person who shall threaten to commit any act of terrorism, propose any terroristic acts or incite others to commit terrorism shall suffer the penalty of 12 years in prison.
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.
Pangilinan said the bill, once enacted, "may be used against critics and opposition leaders."
