PingBills | Mas Mabangis na Batas vs Terorismo, Puntirya ni Ping

Bilang bahagi ng kanyang krusada para sa kapayapaan at katahimikan ng bansa laban sa karahasan, muling isinulong ni Senador Panfilo Lacson ang panukalang naglalayong pigilin ang nagbabantang pagkalat ng terorismo sa bansa.

Sa Senate Bill 21 na inihain ni Lacson, ninanais nitong amyendahan ang Republic Act 9372 o ang Human Security Act of 2007 upang mas mabigyan ng lakas ang mga mahihinang probisyon na maaring gamitin ng mga teroristang nagbabalak maghasik ng karahasan sa bansa.

“This bill aims to give the government an effective legal framework that would enable it to have a criminal justice response to terrorism. This measure seeks to provide our law enforcement with enough tools to conduct investigations that would enable to them to prevent terrorist attacks before they happen, or in case they are unable to do so, at least bring the perpetrators to justice,” paliwanag ni Lacson sa kanyang panukala.

PingBills | Gov’t Gets More Teeth vs Terrorism with Lacson Bill

To combat the continued global threat of terrorism, Sen. Panfilo M. Lacson has filed a bill that gives the Philippine government more tools to protect the public from this menace.

Senate Bill 21 plugs the loopholes in Republic Act 9372 (the Human Security Act of 2007) so Philippine authorities can prevent terrorist attacks or bring the perpetrators to justice.

“This bill aims to give the government an effective legal framework that would enable it to have a criminal justice response to terrorism. This measure seeks to provide our law enforcement with enough tools to conduct investigations that would enable to them to prevent terrorist attacks before they happen, or in case they are unable to do so, at least bring the perpetrators to justice,” Lacson said in his bill.
