President Rodrigo Duterte is not inclined to veto the proposed anti-terrorism bill, his spokesman said.
In an interview on Dobol B sa News TV Saturday, Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque said Duterte was unlikely to veto a measure that he certified as urgent.
“Nagkaroon naman siya ng certification of urgency. Hindi ko lang sigurado kung iyong sinertify urgent niya ay kapareho ng naipasa ng Kongreso. So, iyon po ang isang bagay na titingnan ko pa ano. So, hindi naman para i-veto ni Presidente ang isang panukalang batas na sinertify as urgent niya,” Roque also said.
“Pangalawa, ang author naman ng bill ay pinagkakatiwalaan ng marami, si Senator (Panfilo) Lacson at si Senate President (Vicente) Tito Sotto, so hindi naman po iyan nanggaling mismo sa Malacañang.
“At sa tingin ko naman sa daming beses na nananalo para sa Senado si Senator Lacson o si Senator Sotto eh karapat-dapat naman ang tiwala ng taumbayan na hindi sila magsusulong ng isang batas na lalabag sa Saligang Batas,” he added.
The Palace received on June 9 the bill that penalizes anyone who threatens to commit terrorism of 12 years imprisonment, giving the President 30 days to act on it.
