if you haven't shared this, please do. i know there's already a lot happening with BLM in america but this is equally as important.

my partner lives in the ph and she is scared and is being ignored right now by their followers despite how fatal this situation is.

if the bill passes, this gives the ph government the right to arrest ANYBODY under the notion of being a "terrorist." they will monitor everybody's internet. this is a direct violation of freedom of speech and it's unfolding right before our eyes.

Duterte has been making motions to suppress the press/media as well and controlling the information coming in and out of the country :

The Philippines’ leading TV network ABS-CBN was ordered by the government’s telecommunications agency to cease operations on May 5, sparking outcry from the public and human rights groups, as well as a call of solidarity from fellow embattled outlet Rappler.

The National Telecommunications Agency filed an immediate ‘cease and desist’ order on 5 March after the network’s 25-year franchise licence had expired pending a renewal hearing in congress that was delayed, in part, to the coronavirus lockdown. The media giant went off-air just before 8pm on Tuesday following the decision, leaving millions without critical information of Covid-19 pandemic, many of whom are living under lockdown measures in the capital and major cities till mid-May.

“Millions of Filipinos will lose their source of news and entertainment when ABS-CBN is ordered to go off-air on TV and radio tonight . . . when people need crucial and timely information as the nation deals with the Covid-19 pandemic,” the broadcaster said in a statement yesterday.

The Philippines have been one of the hardest hit countries for Covid-19 in Southeast Asia, with 9,684 cases and over 600 deaths so far.

Journalists and media watchdogs have accused President Rodrigo Duterte of purposefully rejecting licence renewal proposals, having previously threatened to shut the broadcaster over their critical coverage of his administration’s decisions.

A reporter for Rappler, an online Filipino news organisation also in the government’s firing line, Ralf Rivas, told the Globe that journalists at Rappler believe that this is an “act of betrayal” against the public that ABS-CBN serves, especially as the country faces a pandemic.

The Philippine government is attempting to pass a bill that would take away the Filipinos' basic human right of freedom of speech. Anyone, even minors, can be put in jail if they're suspected to be 'terrorists'.

ACTIVISM =/= TERRORISM #OustDuterte #OUSTDUERTENOW #JunkTerrorBill

[Further images: Infographics. Transcripts follow.]

Who is a terrorist? To the new Senate Bill 1083 or "Anti-Terrorism Bill", you can be considered a TERRORIST if:

You cause damage or attempt to cause damage to government properties/facilities.

Assault or attempted assault.

You buy/cry a knife or anything that can be used to kill.

You meet up with your friend/s (because of the possibility that you might secretly be plotting an attack with them).

Donating or helping relief drives that aren't government/state-recognized.

Participating in a rally or any movement that can cause a "serious risk to public safety".

Posting, writing, sharing and/or retweeting posts (even memes) related to "terrorist activities".

Punishment for violation will be spending 12 years in jail to life imprisonment

You can be jailed for 24 days without a case if you're accused of being a terrorist.

No one is exempted from state surveillance. Your texts, calls, emails, social activities, etc will be easily tracked.

(Reference: Senate Bill 1083)
