Drilon said he was extremely against the revival of the anti-subversion law, as this will violate basic Constitutional rights to freedom of assembly and association.
“First, they want Congress to revive the death penalty. Now, they want us to resurrect the anti-subversion law. Is this how we want this Congress to be remembered?” Drilon asked. The former justice secretary pointed out that the anti-subversion law was “buried” a long time ago since it was proven that such policy, aside from being prone to abuse and a tool for harassment, “undermined some of our basic Constitutional rights.”
Drilon said the Constitution was against undue favor and individual or class privilege, as well as hostile discrimination or the oppression of inequality against one class or organization.
