Palace: President Duterte inclined to sign anti-terror bill into law

Presidential spokesman Harry Roque said the President is taking a “final look” at the anti-terrorism bill and will likely sign the security measure.

He said the Palace is waiting for the final review on the anti-terrorism bill by the Office of the Executive Secretary. The inputs of the Department of Justice will likewise be taken into consideration. “Hindi pa niya siguro nakikita o hindi pa po nata-transmit sa kanyang lamesa for signature ng Office of the Executive Secretary ang anti-terror law ,” he said.

“This legislation is intended solely against terrorists ,” Panelo said. “We therefore ask them to study its provisions carefully and discuss the same with legal experts so they can understand fully the spirit of the bill,” he added.
