In a statement, IBP president Atty. Domingo Egon Cayosa, said the Anti-Terrorism Bill, which was already approved by Congress and transmitted to Malacañang for President Rodrigo Duterte’s signature, contains provisions that are contrary to the Constitution. It will be chaired by the executive secretary and composed of secretaries of justice, foreign affairs, national defense, the interior, and local government and finance, and the national security adviser. Malacañang already stated that it will review the Anti-Terrorism Bill. ADVERTISEMENT“The Palace statement that the anti-terror bill will be reviewed is not a mere perfunctory statement.
