Former Commission on Elections chair Christian Monsod warned that the anti-terror law could negatively impact the conduct of the 2022 Philippine elections, as the measure might be used against members of the opposition.
“If the Supreme Court rules that it is lawful, it will be a deadly weapon for the use of lawfare, defined as the misuse of the law for self-serving purposes, such as suppressing the opposition and the will of the voters in 2022,” Monsod said in Rappler’s #PHVote Dialogues broadcast on June 5.
