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.

Speech at the 74th Anniversary of the PNP Crime Laboratory

In both formal and informal occasions, I often stress that this is the point in my life where I certainly have more yesterdays than tomorrows. I tell you, as I gaze into my ‘yesterdays,’ I cannot help but realize how much has really changed in every aspect of our lives.

Let me share with you — in the late 1950s, when I was a young elementary student in a sleepy town of Imus, Cavite, I had a vivid memory of a lone policeman we simply referred to as “Kabo.”

He was a highly esteemed and respected man assigned to keep peace and order in our almost obscure barangay called Barrio Bayanluma then.

From The Manila Times: “The first line of defense against violent extremism, I believe, is education; creating awareness and cultivating our young people’s critical thinking and resilience will equip them with skills they need to detect and reject violent extremism and make informed decisions and contest extremist ideologies,” (Lacson) said.

Matatapos na ang kalituhang dinaranas ng publiko sa pagtawag sa ranggo ng mga kapulisan at sundalo dahil ganap nang nilagdaan ng Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte ang batas na nagtatama sa mga ito.

Ang Republic Act 11200 na para sa PNP rank classification ay kabilang sa mga pinakahuling batas na nilagdaan ng Pangulo na una nang itinulak at inisponsor ni Senador at dating PNP Chief Panfilo Lacson sa Senado.

Sa ilalim ng naturang batas, klinaro na ang mga ranggo ng PNP sa mga katugmang katungkulan ng mga ito.

“This measure eliminates confusion on how our law enforcers must be addressed, and brings our policemen closer to the populace. More importantly, this allows for better coordination between the PNP and other law enforcement units in countering terrorism and other threats to national security,” paliwanag ni Lacson.
