Palace says 784 governors, mayors support ‘stronger’ anti-terror law

Around 784 local chief executives have expressed support for the approval of a stronger anti-terrorism law in the country, Malacañang announced Tuesday.

“Sa anti-terror bill, inulat kahapon ni Secretary Año na patuloy pong dumadami ang supporters lalung-lalo na sa hanay ng local government units ,” Roque said during a Palace press briefing Tuesday. Roque earlier said President Duterte is inclined to sign into law the measure giving the government more teeth to combat terrorism as soon as the review is complete. The anti-terror bill, submitted by Congress, is apparently still being reviewed by the Office of the Executive Secretary, according to Roque.

“Ibig sabihin po, bagama’t nasa Malacañang na ang anti-terror bill, siguro po pinag-aaralan pa ng Office of the Executive Secretary ang sinumiteng panukalang batas dahil wala pa po mismo sa lamesa ng Presidente ,” he added.

But there are 1,600+ mayors. So majority don’t support mareng attyharryroque?
