MANILA, Philippines — President Rodrigo Duterte has yet to get his hands on the controversial anti-terror bill. “My legal [team] is still reviewing it,” Duterte said in a taped meeting with Cabinet officials aired on Monday night. The presidential spokesman, Harry Roque, earlier revealed that Duterte was “inclined” to sign the bill into law. But he noted that Duterte would consider all the legal advice he could get from various government agencies. The bill was transmitted to Malacañang on June 9 and will lapse into law after 30 days if not acted upon.
