GENERAL GILBERT GAPAY and PHILIPPINE NATIONAL POLICE CHIEF GENERAL CAMILO PANCRATIUS PASCUA CASCOLAN, Respondents. x--------------------------------------------------x PETITION FOR PROHIBITION WITH APPLICATION FOR ISSUANCE OF A TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER AND/OR WRIT OF PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION AND/OR A STATUS QUO ORDER Petitioner PHILIPPINE BAR ASSOCIATION, INC. ("PBA"), respectfully states: Preliminary Statement The Anti-Terrorism Act of 2020 ("Anti-Terrorism Act") is an excessive and invalid exercise by the state of its Police Power. Its unreasonable, arbitrary and oppressive provisions, not to mention their repugnance to the Constitution, do not only provide opportunity for abuse. They are certainly bound, wittingly or unwittingly, to be abused by law enforcers. Consequently, the law intensifies the fear and tension that is now gripping this nation. The people's liberties and their right to security - "to be free from fear"1 -­ are under siege. Hence, the need for a principled stand. In the midst of this pandemic which has forced all of us to shelter in place, we are confronted with elite commandos clad in full battle gear complete with deadly high-powered weapons of war accompanied by armored personnel carriers. They roam our streets purportedly implementing law and health protocols.2 In Cebu City, hundreds of Special Action Forces commandos3 were sent from Camp Crame to the city to enforce strict quarantine measures, while military tanks paraded the streets purportedly for the same purpose.4 Meanwhile, eight activists who protested what was then the Anti­ Terrorism Bill were arrested at their school campus.5 In Quezon City, a law enforcer guns down in cold blood an unarmed citizen purportedly for violating health protocols and for getting into an argument with him. 6 In Bulacan, eleven law enforcers kidnapped Secretary of National Defense v. Manalo, G.R. No. 180906, 7 October 2008, 568 SCRA 1. In the present context, one's fear is not limited only to one's liberty and life and property, it too embraces the fear that the people might eventually learn to distrust their government and bring this country to perdition. 2 Caliwan, Christopher Lloyd, Philippines News Agency, PNP deploys SAF troops in NCR areas with high ECQ violations, accessed at https:/ jwww.pna.gov.phj articles/1100486 (last accessed on 14 August 2020); Caliwan, Christopher Lloyd, Philippines News Agency, SAF troops to help enforce ECQ in Cebu Citt;, accessed at https:/ j www.pna.gov.ph/ articles/1106957 (last accessed 14 August 2020). 3 Semilla, Nestle, Inquirer.net, Police commandos pull out from Cebu Citt;, 6 August 2020, accessed at https:/ j newsinfo.inquirer.net/ 1317355 I police-commandos-pull-out-from­ cebu, (last accessed 14 August 2020). 4 Gonzales, Cathrine, Inquirer .net, "No harm" in presence of military tanks during pandemic - Cebu Citt; mayor, 2 July 2020, accessed at https:/ / newsinfo.inquirer.net/ 1300818/ no-harm­ in-presence-of-military-tanks-during- pandemic-says-cebu - city-mayor, accessed on 14 August 2020. s Mayol, Ador Vincent, and Semilla, Nestle, Inquirer.net, Terror bill protests: Cebu cops arrest 8 inside UP campus, 6 June 2020, accessed at https: j j news info .inquirer.n et/ 1287133/ terror-bill-protests-cebu-cops-arrest-8-on-u p­ campus#ixzz6V4R6cW15, (last accessed 14 August 2020). 6 Ferreras, Vince, and Cahiles, Gerg, CNN Philippines, Retired soldier shot dead by police at checkpoint in Quezon City, accessed at https:/ j cnnphilippines.comj news/ 2020/ 4/ 22/ Retired-soldier-shot-dead-by-police-html (last accessed 28 August 2020). 2 f> and executed six (6) innocent citizens.7 In another town in Bulacan, law enforcers confiscated thousands of supposedly "illegal" magazines of a progressive organization, as it "teaches people to fight the government,''8 and arrested several individuals who were at the place of the raid without warrant.9 In Malaybalay, law enforcers deemed protests to the closure of media company ABS-CBN as support for terrorism. They posted on social media the following: "Malalaman mong sila ay para sa terorismo. Papatulan lahat ng isyu, basta laban sa gobyerno (You know they support terrorism when they protest on all issues against the government). No to rebellion. No to terrorism."10 Recently, here in Metro Manila, an activist and National Democratic Front of the Philippines peace consultant, Randall "Randy" Echanis was killed when his house was raided apparently by law enforcers while he was undergoing medical treatment. He was unarmed.11 The law enforcers seized and took custody of his remains.t2 On top of all this forbidding events, the President, the Commander-in-Chief himself, dared medical workers and frontliners to stage a revolution against him as this will give him a free ticket to stage a counter-revolution.13 Not to be outdone, the newly-stalled AFP Chief of Staff proposed to regulate the use of social media to curb radicalism through the Anti-Terrorism Act.14 Ironically, law 7 Please see August 13, 2020 issue, Philippine Daily Inquirer.

We can go on and fill these pages with a catalogue of similar violations and threats to the people's liberties and right of security by law enforcers themselves. These particular events, however, would suffice to demonstrate that the Filipino people face great uncertainty and live in a climate of constant fear with the rampant threat of civil and political liberties' violations. The Anti-Terrorism Act, which was passed during an extraordinary time of pandemic, heightens the fear of the people, who now experience this fear on a full scale. In this kind of environment, the people are only too aware of the mischief resulting in the implementation of the Anti-Terrorism Act. In fact, a record of twenty-nine (29) Petitions16 from various sectors have been filed before this Honorable Court assailing the law. The people truly have no other recourse but to take refuge before this Honorable Supreme Court. This Petition respectfully calls upon the Judiciary to assert its shared role and responsibility in the proper ordering of society to restore to the people and secure them their rights under a society free from any fear where liberty is the norm and not the exception.17 Nature of the Petition 1. This is a Petition for Prohibition under Rule 65 of the Rules of Court praying for the issuance of a Writ of Prohibition commanding the Respondents to desist from implementing the provisions of Republic Act No. 11479 otherwise known as the Anti­ Terrorism Act of 2020 ("Anti-Terrorism Act") on the ground that the said law is unconstitutional. https:l I cnnphilippines.coml newsl2020I Bl 41 Anti-Terrorism-Act-social-media­ regulation-AFP-Gapay.html (last accessed on 14 August 2020). 1s Rappler Research Team, Rappler, With anti-terror law, police-sponsored hate and disinfonnation even more dangerous, 14 August 2020, accessed at https: I I rappler.coml newsbr eakI investigative/ anti-terror-law-state-sponsored-hate­ disinformation-more-dangerous (last accessed 14 August 2020). 16 As of 2 September 2020, per this Honorable Court's Judicial Records Office. 17 See Rep.

Araja The Department of Environment and Natural Resources is coordinating with the Bureau of Customs and the Justice department to file charges against the exporter and consignee of the illegal waste shipments from the United States that were recently intercepted at the Subic Bay Freeport. On Oct. 22, Undersecretary for Solid Waste Management and Local Government Units Concerns Benny Antiporda and Undersecretary for Special Concerns Edilberto Leonardo went to Subic to inspect the shipments. TRASH HAUL. Bureau of Customs-Port of Subic District Collector Maritess Martin points to a shipment of garbage, which was foiled before exiting the Subic Bay International Terminal Corp. The shipment was intercepted through the combined efforts of the Port’s District Collector, Customs Intelligence and Investigation Service (CIIS), Enforcement and Security Service (ESS) and Assessment Division, with close coordination and collaboration with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). The shipment arrived from the United States and was consigned to a certain Bataan 2020 Inc. and was declared as American old corrugated cartons for repulping.

  • A Transformed Judiciary*
    Chapter 1 A Transformed Judiciary* It is great to be home once again in this super University! My first speaking appearance at the Far Eastern University (FEU) Auditorium was some 50 years ago -- to be exact, 48 years ago in 1957 -- when as a young sophomore law student, I delivered my inaugural address as president of the FEU Central Student Organization. Thank you, FEU, for that invigorating memory, that exhilarating experience of heading the student body of the then largest educational institution in our country. Thank you also to two super ladies -- Dr. Lourdes Reyes-Montinola, chairperson of the FEU Board of Trustees; and Dr. Lydia B. Echauz, FEU president – who, along with super law Dean Andres D. Bautista, the perennial leader of the Philippine Association of Law Deans, are responsible for FEU’s generous co-sponsorship of this tenth lecture in the Chief Justice Hilario G. Davide Jr. Distinguished Lecture Series. As some of you may know, this intellectual pursuit is one of several projects being held nationwide all year round to commemorate the many outstanding achievements of the Supreme Court during the seven-year term of our beloved Chief.[1] Ladies and gentlemen, Hilario G. Davide Jr. will be remembered in history as one of the greatest Chief Justices not only in our country, but also in the Asia-Pacific region. I am certain that whenever a history of the judiciary in our part of the world is written, he will always merit a sparkling chapter. Back in 1999 when I wrote Leadership by Example, just after his appointment as the “Centennial” or even “Millennial” Chief Justice, I already had an intimation of his impending renown.

Typhoon Vamco swelled rivers and flooded low-lying areas as it passed over the storm-battered northeast Philippines, where rescuers were deployed to help people flee the rising waters. (Ace Morandante/ Malacanang Presidential Photographers Division via AP) Secretary Roy A. Cimatu of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) on Thursday announced that the massive rehabilitation of Cagayan River – the country’s largest river – will begin on February 2, coincides with World Wetlands Day, beginning with the removal of sandbars to clear the constricted section of the river and massive planting of bamboos along its banks. Cimatu, also concurrent chairman of the Task Force Build Back Better, said in a news statement that the rehabilitation of the Cagayan River is the culmination of weeks of meticulous planning and detailed coordination to ensure that each of the dredging equipment is safely transported to the sandbar sites, and that bamboos are grown at critical portions of the riverbank needing immediate measures to address stream bank erosion and instability. On top of the six amphibious dredgers of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), a total of 40 dredging equipment are expected to be deployed by the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP), which consists of dump trucks, bulldozers, tractors, and scoop loaders.
