PNP wants to amend human security act amid case of Pinoy suicide bomber in Sulu 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Aaron RecuencoThe Philippine National Police (PNP) wants to amend some provisions of the Human Security Act in order to strengthen the government’s fight against terrorism amid the case of a Filipino suicide bomber who blew himself up inside a military camp in Sulu last month. “There are some provisions of the Human Security Act (Republic Act 9872) that are really disadvantageous to law enforcers and we want to amend some of these provisions for our counterterrorism efforts,” said Albayalde. This could be buoyed by comments even by security experts of foreign countries who see the Philippine version of the Human Security Act as pro-criminal, according to Albayalde. But Albayalde was quick to clarify that the move to amend the Human Security Act was already being pushed long before the case of a Filipino suicide bomber in Sulu was confirmed.
