We at NASSA/Caritas Philippines vehemently condemn President Rodrigo Duterte’s brazen disregard of the Filipino people’s appeal to defer the signing of the Anti-Terror Law until thorough discussion and consultations have been done. The profound lack of consideration and sensitivity to the more pressing needs of the country by our government is appalling and utterly alarming.
Thus we will continue to be vigilant of the government’s actions, denounce any form of human rights violation, state repression, and impunity in cracking down on our democratic exercise. We pray that God’s mercy and compassion be upon us so that justice, moral righteousness and the rule of law will reign.
