Recently, the 37-year-old actress went to social media wherein she shared her opinion about the Anti-Terror Law.

Sunshine Dizon divulges her reaction about the law hours before President Rodrigo Duterte delivers the 5th State of the Nation Address (SONA).

On the issue of the Anti-Terror Act of 2020, those who are opposing the law fear it will violate press freedom.

According to the law itself, acts through “speeches, writings, proclamations, emblems, banners, and other representations” implying terrorism is a “criminal offense.”

“Warrantless arrest” will also be imposed on any identified terrorist, with a penalty of twelve years imprisonment.

Following her statement on social media, Sunshine Dizon engaged in an online debate with the netizens.

But Sunshine thinks the Anti-Terrorism Law should not be enforced as of press time.

She believes that the provision of the law is lacking to ensure who will be branded as a terrorist.

Sunshine explained, “hindi po sinabing hindi ako pabor sa batas na dapat ay puprutekta sa atin laban sa terrismo.”

“Hindi lang ako sangayon na pwede itong maabuso dahil hindi ito malinaw,” she said.

“Sa kamay ng mapag abuso pwedeng pwede maiba ang interpretasyon ng batas na ito,” she added.

In the later part of the interaction, she was accused by another netizen of being “nagmamarunong” about the Anti-Terror Act of 2020.
