The Philippines has 1 week left until the ATB lapses into law. This law will criminalize dissent & opinions that are directed against the government.

I actually did not speak of this outside of Facebook and Twitter but I received death th/reats on some of my art pages and personal accounts for speaking and making art about and against this bill. Since March to June, a lot of my protest art was constantly reported and taken down on sites. 

There has already been multiple wrongful arrests. 

My people have been suffering in my country. This bill will label protesters as terrorists and arrest them without warrants. They are still not giving us medical aid. The military continues to consume so much of our country’s budget. They are censoring us to make us quiet. 

Please help us junk anti-terror bill. 

PETITION: JUNK THE ANTI-TERRORISM BILL AND UPHOLD HUMAN RIGHTS!

If you would like to know more, you can read this twitter thread about it. 

I will add more stories of injustice every single time I reblog this. 

Let’s start with April 21, 2020 – The murder of Winston Ragos, an ex-military officer.

He was shot near a quarantine control point along Maligaya Drive in Barangay Pasong Putik, Quezon City after he appeared to try to pull something from his sling bag while taunting the law enforcers.

While witnesses were shouting to search Winston first, Master Sergeant Daniel Florendo Jr, shot him twice. Winston’s mother said people were shouting because they believe Winston carried no firearms despite displaying anger at cops. He was mentally ill and could have challenged cops on a whim.

“They think he had bad intentions, but the bag that hung over his neck only has a water bottle inside,” Merlyn told Rappler in a phone interview on Thursday, April 23. 

She should know, she said, because she gave her son the bag herself.

Police then reported to the public that they killed Winston because he kept a gun inside his bag.

However, on June 4, 2020, the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) has concluded that Master Sergeant Daniel Florendo Jr and other police companions murdered former soldier Winston Ragos, planted evidence in the crime scene during the scuffle over enforcing quarantine rules in Quezon City in April.

NBI Deputy Director Ferdinand Lavin confirmed to reporters that the bureau has filed complaints of murder, perjury and planting of evidence against Florendo before the Quezon City Prosecutor’s Office. Murder is a non-bailable offense.

Aside from Florendo, police trainees Joy Flaviano, Arnel Fontillas, Dante Fronda and Dalejes Gaciles are also sued for murder. Florendo and Staff Sargeant Hector Besas are sued for planting of evidence.

June 2, 2020 – The arrest of Piston 6

Six drivers are arrested while holding a protest calling for the resumption of their operations during general community quarantine.

In a statement, transport group Piston said the six who were set to undergo inquest proceedings faced a fine of P3,000 each. Piston, however, argued that those who participated in the protest, including Ruben Baylon, its deputy secretary general, strictly practiced physical distancing and wore face masks.

The Caloocan police initially “invited” them to the police station but later brought them to City Hall for the filing of charges, Piston said. This is illegal detention.

“If it was done forcefully, then that could be considered illegal detention. They [police] must understand that the drivers lost their livelihood for nearly three months because the national government did not allow them to resume operations even under GCQ (general community quarantine),” George San Mateo, Piston national president emeritus, told the Inquirer in a text message.

According to him, the drivers were driven to hold a protest because they were hungry and were not among those who received any cash assistance from the government during the nearly three-month lockdown.

The Piston 6

  • Ruben Baylon
  • Severino Ramos
  • Arsenio Ymas
  • Elmer Cordero – 72 years old
  • Wilson Ramilla
  • Ramon Paloma

Piston is still accept help and donations to feed their unemployed jeepney drivers.

June 5, 2020 – The arrest of Cebu 7

Police arrested 8 people, including minors, during a protest rally against the anti-terrorism bill on Friday, June 5. Among those arrested were 7 activists and one bystander who did not participate in the rally.

The activists were arrested at the protest site near the University of the Philippines (UP) Cebu for violating a ban on mass gatherings under the general community quarantine (GCQ), according to Cebu City police.

The rally started peacefully at around 10 am until the protesters were met by Cebu City police in combat gear and members of the SWAT team.

At least 27 protesters were still stuck inside the campus while police were posted outside, on Gorordo Avenue.

JUNE 26, 2020 - THE ARREST OF PRIDE 20 

Police arrested at least 20 people at the Pride March in Mendiola, Manila, on Friday, June 26.

Ten members of LGBTQ+ rights group Bahaghari, 8 from other progressive groups, and two drivers have been detained at the Manila Police District.

They were being charged with disobedience of person in authority in relation to Republic Act 11332, otherwise known as the Law on Reporting of Communicable Diseases, and Batas Pambansa 880, otherwise known as Public Assembly Act.

The protesters were observing physical distancing and other health protocols when the police arrived to disperse them.

The police did not cite any violations while arresting the protesters and only told them, “Nasa batas iyan na bawal iyan (It’s in the law that it’s prohibited),” without citing any specific law. Here is a video of that exchange.  [2

Here is a video of them hijacking a private vechicle

Prior to the the “grand mananita” themed indignation rally on Philippine Independence Day, June 12, human right lawyers had stressed that the Bayanihan To Heal As One Act as well as the public health law, Republic Act No. 11332 or the Mandatory Reporting of Notifiable Diseases Act, do not prohibit rallies.

At 10 am on Friday, the group marched from Morayta and held a program near the Mendiola Peace Arch to “resist [President Rodrigo] Duterte’s tyranny.”

The Bahaghari-led protest was held to celebrate Pride month and to oppose the anti-terrorism bill.

This happened LITERALLY LAST WEEK.

I’m so scared of what’s happening in my country (the Philippines) right now. There’s a bill that’s going to be passed as a law that states a person can be considered as a terrorist even if they’re just sharing memes making fun of the government. And now there is an influx of trolls using the names of the critics to send death threats to those who oppose the bill.

I’m so scared. I don’t know what’s going to happen. I’m so scared.

FILIPINOS URGENTLY NEED YOUR HELP: A CALL TO ACTION

art by the wonderful @franshookie-art (DO NOT REPOST this image without their specific permission. check out more of their art on twitter.)

hi, all.. i know that a lot of our focus is on the BlackLivesMatter movement atm (which is wonderful and should’ve happened a long time ago), and i hate to distract you from that, but there’s something horrible happening in my country, the Philippines (yes, the one being lead by the so-called Filipino version of Donald Trump), right now.

our national government has passed a bill that’ll essentially take away our constitutional rights to freedom of speech and fair trial. it’s called the Anti-Terrorism Bill, but we’ve dubbed it Terror Bill. here’s a summary of what it entails:

image
image
image
image

if you want to read the actual bill in its entirety, here’s alinkto the official Senate of the Philippines website, where you can download a pdf copy. i’d like you to keep in mind the political climate in our country, though, and just how rampant corruption and police brutality are here.

it has already been passed by the Senate; all it needs is the House of Representatives’ approval, and it will be enforced. if you want to help stop this from happening, here are a few ways:

  • sign and share thispetition. we’re so close to 300,000 signatures!!!
  • send e-mails to the Office of the President and the Senate. there’s an e-mail protest currently going on. i have qualms about copy-pasting the message, but ultimately, this method is a lot more effective than petitions:
these posters were made and posted by @tentenyukkion twitter.
  • educate yourself about the bill and how it will affect us when it’s approved. here are some news articles, editorials, and thought pieces to get you started:

gov’t endorsing/defending the bill: 1,2,3,4

reactions to the bill’s passing: 1,2,3,4,5

  • spread the word. on social media, our tags are #JunkTerrorBilland#JunkTerrorBillNow, but don’t stop there; tell your friends and family. please. people need to know this is happening.

your help could save the lives of millions of Filipinos, and we’d really, really appreciate it. i don’t usually ask for much, but when it comes to urgent issues like this, i can’t stay silent. unlike with BLM, i can speak my truth about this because i know personally what it’s like to be a Filipino citizen and to live in the Philippines. i hope it’s heard, and we keep an ounce of what little dignity we have as a “sovereign” country and rights as a “sovereign” people.

some of you might unfollow or get mad because this isn’t strictly studyblr content, but it’s not about aesthetic right now. i need your help. we need to hurry.

thank you for taking time to read! let’s uphold human rights together. #JunkTerrorBillNow!

Let us educate ourselves. Support us to junk this Philippine Terror Bill.

There is no better time than now to act!

DISSENT ≠ TERRORISM #JunkTerrorBill

Because of the Philippines’ poor governance in the midst of this pandemic, the number of people criticizing the Duterte administration has reached an exponential high. Because of this, they are fast-tracking a bill that allows our government to silence critics and activists, violating our human rights and strengthening state fascism.

As such, we would like to CALL FOR YOUR HELP.

Filipinos are holding an #EmailProtest at 8PM (GMT +8) every day, as a call to #JunkTerrorBill. Petitions mean nothing to the PH Government, so directly emailing them would be more effective.

THE EMAIL

  • USE BURNER EMAILS. (x)Especially for those living in the country.
  • SEND TO:[email protected]and[email protected]
  • SUBJECT:Junk Terror Bill, or Anti-Terror Bill, or Senate Bill No. 1083 (Pleaseuse variations for the subject lines to avoid getting emails marked as spam i.e. JUNK T3RR0R B1LL etc.)
  • BODY TEMPLATE: We urge the rejection of the ‘Anti-Terror Bill’ to protect the fundamental right of Filipinos to freedom of speech.
  • Feel free to add any concerns / additional information.

You can find compilations of information and updates in this CARRDand more email templatesinTHIS GDOC.

Please signal-boost this post and the tweets found in the abovementioned links, if you can!

This regime has been violent and oppressive from the start. Help stop the Bill that impedes the rights of the Filipino People.

IMPORTANT UPDATE(06/03/20)

The Anti Terror Bill has passed its third and final reading. It allows wiretapping and ARREST WITHOUT WARRANT of ‘suspected terrorists’. Unless we do something about it, the bill will take effect fifteen days after the president’s approval.

Please. If you could, raise your voice with the Filipino People. We need the help now more than ever.

IMPORTANT UPDATE(06/06/20) 

Congress has not sent the enrolled anti-terror bill to Malacañang for President Duterte’s signature, said Justice Sec Menardo Guevarra. Congress is urged not to transmit the bill yet in light of withdrawal of votes over questions on constitutionality. (source)

THE OUTRAGE IS WORKING. Please continue to voice out how draconian this bill is, so that they’d scrap it!
