‘The anti-activism and anti-dissent bill’
June 26, 2020
“The real name for the bill should be the Anti-Activism and Anti-Dissent Bill, because that is its evident purpose. Apart from its [in my opinion] violations of the Constitutional Bill of Rights, and usurpation by the Executive of judicial authority, the bill itself scarcely helps authorities fight terrorism in any meaningful way— real terrorism, not peaceful activism and civil dissent.”
‘The anti-terror bill is a modern expression of state warlordism’
June 24, 2020
“The anti-terror bill is a modern expression of state warlordism. It uses legal means to subvert the state monopoly of force to serve the purposes of the ruling administration.”
Siguruhing hindi lalabag sa karapatang pantao–Nora Aunor
June 23, 2020
“Sa panahon ngayon na sobrang paghihirap ang pinagdadaanan ng ating mga kababayan na marami ang nagkakasakit, nawawalan ng trabaho at walang makain ay sana huwag munang madaliin ang pagpapasa ng antiterrorism bill. Magandang mapag-aralan muna itong mabuti para masiguradong hindi nga ito lalabag sa mga karapatang pantao ng mamamayang Pilipino.”–Nora Aunor
A full-blown dictatorship is made more palpable
June 18, 2020
“With the conviction of Ressa
and Santos, the shutdown of
ABS-CBN, the killings and
threats against journalists,
the numerous violations faced
by Filipinos on a daily basis
and the passage of the terror bill,
a full-blown dictatorship
is made more palpable.”
Ely Buendia: #ArtistsFightBack, #JunkTerrorBillNow

“We, the free artists of the nation, strongly condemn the swift and reckless passing of the Anti- Terrorism Bill. We are this nation’s storytellers. We are watching and we will act. #ArtistsFightBack #JunkTerrorBillNow”
The Anti-Terrorism Bill is prone to abuse
June 11, 2020
“The vagueness of the definition of the crime of terrorism in this bill is prone to abuse. Some provisions of the bill will prevent us artists from performing our roles as mirrors of society, as truth tellers, as thought
provokers. Our art is a powerful
tool to provoke reflection and
action. Tutol kami sa
Anti-Terrorism Bill.”

“Silencing Filipinos was more urgent to them than saving Filipinos. They would rather live under the illusion of their perfection than be held accountable for their incompetency. TAMA NA. #JunkTerrorBillNow”
‘Activism is not terrorism’
June 7, 2020
“Activism is not terrorism.
We cannot let this to happen. This is not only intolerable, this is inhuman, unjust, unlawful. Thus we urge everyone to register opposition against the bill which to our firm belief will further re-enforce tyranny and totalitarianism.”
Anne Curtis: #JunkTerrorBill
June 5, 2020
“After reading the bill, from my understanding, it’s quite broad and vague, leaving room for different interpretations which could potentially take away each person’s basic rights of freedom of speech and acts of even peaceful protests. That is my understanding of it. I ask you to read the bill yourself. Take your stand and use your voice to express how you feel. #JunkTerrorBill”
