With his mindset, Lt. Gen. Antonio Parlade Jr. can best enlighten the Supreme Court’s magistrates on the Anti-Terrorism Act of 2020 by not talking about terrorism, Sen. Panfilo Lacson said Tuesday.
Lacson said something is “very wrong” with Parlade’s mindset where he insisted on his “careless and insensitive” comments in implying that a journalist was “aiding” terrorists.
“If Lt. Gen. Parlade wants to help enlighten the magistrates as he claims, he can do it better by not talking about terrorism,” Lacson, who sponsored the Anti-Terrorism Law in the Senate, said in a statement.
Parlade, spokesman for the NTF-ELCAC, had said in a television interview he wants to help the SC magistrates in their decision-making on the Anti-Terrorism Law.
But Lacson noted something “is very wrong” with Parlade’s mindset as shown by Parlade’s post on Facebook where he implied Inquirer.net Tetch Tupas “was aiding the terrorists.”
On the other hand, Lacson said he “couldn’t care less” what else comes out of Parlade’s mouth, and that he does not have anything to do with Parlade’s quarrel with Tupas.
“My primary concern is the Anti-Terrorism Act of 2020 which I and my staff, as well as my fellow senators worked extra hard to afford the state an effective legal tool against terrorism while ensuring that the Bill of Rights is protected, especially that the law is now facing some serious challenges before the Supreme Court,” he said.
