5. Since its founding in 1993, petitioner Sanlakas, thru its thousands
of members, has been a staunch advocate of social, political, economic,
cultural, and environmental changes in Philippine society, with the objective
of improving the living conditions of the marginalized sectors, viz., workers,
farmers, and urban poor community dwellers, and creating a just and
equitable society;
6. In the process of this advocacy and its dissent against official
government policies and actions, petitioner Sanlakas, thru its thousands of
members, resort to mass actions, public rallies and demonstrations, workers’
strikes or stoppage of work, and such other popular mobilizations for protest
and dissent, with the end in view of empowering the people and pressuring
the government to enact laws and policies favorable to the Filipino masses
and marginalized sectors;
7. Members of petitioner Sanlakas resort to mass actions and mobiliz-
ations in the exercise of their Constitutional rights to peaceably assemble

dissent, and, legitimate demands and to mobilize public opinion

THE CASE
8. This is a petition for certiorari under Rule 65 of the 1997 Rul
I Procedure assailing the validity on Constitutional grounds of R.
9 or The Anti-Terrorism Act of 2020, which was signed into law by
respondent on July 3, 2020 with grave abuse of discretion amounting to a
lack or exces
of jurisdiction;
9. Further, this is a petition for prohibition under Section 2, Rule 65 of
the 1997 Rules of Civil Procedure (0 command respondent to desist from
enforcing and/or implementing R.A. No. 11479 or The Anti-Terrorism Act of
which was signed into law by respondent and will thereafter be
enforced and implemented with grave abuse of discretion amounting to a
lack or excess of jurisdiction, and allocated public funds by way of
budgetary appropriation by respondents Senate and House of Represent-
atives with grave abuse of discretion amounting to a lack or excess of
jurisdiction;
10. There is no appeal or any plain, speedy, and adequate remedy
available to petitioner in the ordinary course of law, except the filing of this
petition:
11. At the same time, this petition secks the issuance of Temporary
Restraining Order (I.R.O.) against the respondents as members of petitioner
Sanlakas stand to suffer grave injustice and irreparable damage which calls
for the issuance of said Order under Section 5, Rule 58 of the 1997 Rules of
Civil Procedure:
MATERIAL ALLEGATIONS
AND ARGUME
Section 4 of R.A.No. 11479 Is Void
For Being In Violation of Section 4,
Article IIT of the 1987 Constitution And
Under the Void-for-Vagueness Principle
12. The Anti-Terrorism Act of 2020, specifically under its Section 4,
declares "advocacy, protest, dissent, stoppage of work, industrial or massPETITIO NPage 04
action, and other similar exercises of civil and political rights" as a crime
of terrorism when such is "intended to cause death or serious physical harm
to a person, to endanger a person's life, or to create a serious risk to public
safer" and when its purpose "is fo intimidate the general public or a
segment thereof, create an atmosphere or spread a message of fear, 10
provoke or influence by intimidation the government or any international
organization, or seriously destabilize or destroy the fundamental political,
economic, or social structures of the country, or create a public emergency
or seriously undermine public safety". This is the practical effect of the
double negative formulation in Section 4 of the The Anti-Terrorism Act of
2020 which defines the crime of "terroris
13. Advocacy, protest, dissent, stoppage of work, and industrial or
actions are the forms and vehicles of free speech and expression
mass
utilized by the people, including petitioner Sanlakas, in the exercise of their
rights as citizens under under Section 1, Article II of the 1987 Constitution,
declaring the Philippines as "a democratic and republican state" whe
"sovereignty resides in the people and all government authority emanat
from them",
14, Advocacy, protest, dissent, stoppage of work, industrial or mass
actions, and other similar exercises of civil and political rights are the forms
taken in the exercise of the people's freedom of speech and expression and
freedom of assembly categorically protected by Section 4, Article HI of the
1987 Constitution which commands that "no law shall be passed abridging
ihe freedom of speech, of expression, or of the press, or the right of the
people peaceably to assemble and petition the government for redress of
grievance:
15. Th ‘errorism Act of 2020, however, considers "advocacy
protest, dissent, stoppage of work, industrial or mass actions, and other
similar exercises of civil and political rights" as the objective feature or overt
act (actus reus) of the crime of terrorism if united with the subjective feature
or intention (mens rea) "to cause death or serious physical harm to a person,
to endanger a persons life, or to create a serious risk to public safety" and
purpose (e.g., fo provoke or influence by intimidation the government, ete.)
This creates the dangerous situation where the very acts protected and
guaranteed by the 1987 Constitution can actually be, as applied on the
ground, interpreted or assumed --due to the vagueness of the subjective
feature-- by the police and military operatives to be the crime of terrorism:
16. The subjective features of the crime of terrorism in this case (viz.,
intention and/or purpose) will be highly dependent on the perception of the
situation or facts by the law enforcement agent or military personnel
authorized in writing by the executive and all-powerful /
nti-TerrorismCouneil (ATC). And the absence of standards leaves such a wide latitude of
discretion to law enforcement to determine whether “advocacy, protest,
dissent. stoppage of work, and industrial or mass actions" are intended to
cause the harms which the law seeks to abate. It is a fact of our life, based on
long actual experience, that the police and military agents of the state have
so frequently abused and misused their armed authority, especially when it
comes to thei dealings with workers in the picket lines, urban poor
community dwellers in demolition sites, farmers demanding land ownership,
and demonstrating students. Since "intent" and "purpose" are a state of the
mind. they become casily susceptible to various interpretations, oftentimes,
to suit a particular agenda on the part of the police and military agents, if not
the government itself,
17. By way of example, since the Anti-Terrorism law makes
"advocacy, protest, dissent, etc." criminal as an act of terrorism if coupled
with the purpose "Yo provoke or influence by intimidation the government xx
X or seriously destabilize or x x x seriously undermine public safety”, what
if a person, as his way of protest, denounces the President, respondent
herein, on social media for his poor handling of the pandemic, the act of that
person can be perceived as putting the President's life in danger (because of
the public hatred it will tend to generate), thereby intending to “provoke” the
government, which will place the act within the law’s definition of terrorism:
18, In another scenario of a worker's strike, if the labor union stages a
lawful strike against their employer who locks himself up in the
establishment where the strike is taking place, the act of the labor unionists
can be viewed as “intending” to endanger their employer's life or to create a
serious risk to public safety, and may therefore be considered an act of
terrorism, making the workers liable under the draconian law. There can be
myriad of examples, and much of them will be dependent on the fertile
imagination of the ATC and its police and military personnel:
19. The glaring lack of standards to definitely gauge what constitutes,
“provocation”, “influence”, “intimidation”, ot even destabilization, will take
free speech, free expression, and free assembly to the realm of unlawful acts
should such actions put government to task, say, for its ineptitude to contain
the spread and rise of covid19 contamination, if recklessly or otherwise
interpreted as “creating an atmosphere or spreading a message of fear, to
provoke the government":
20. Acts of advocacy, protest, dissent, stoppage of work, industrial or
mass action, and other similar exercises of civil and political are inherently
driven by individual or collective intent. The intention of advocacy is to
promote a cause. The intention of protest and dissent is to express
disapproval. The intention of stoppage of work, industrial or mass action, iseee a ————-™”~™”™-—sur— eset eettst—‘—~é~=zr
PETITIONPage 06
to seek better wages and conditions of work for the working class or redress
of their grievances. They are acts which are precisely intended to bring about
a desired result, including the change or reform of government policies.
decisions, and actuations. More importantly, these are acts which served the
Filipino people well in the dark days of the martial law regime and won
them their precious freedoms. How can these Constitutionally protected and
guaranteed acts now be dragged and considered as crimes of terrorism if
accompanied by intent and purpose which are vague, not clearly defined,
bereft of standards, and susceptible to the self-serving and gratuitous
interpretations of police and military enforcers?
21. When the Anti-Terrorism law included acts which are
Constitutionally protected (viz., advocacy, protest, dissent, etc.), its
definition of the crime of terrorism under its Section 4 fails to meet the
Constitutional threshold of actus reus conduct of a crime. In The Anti-
rrorism Act of 2020, the respondents Senate and House of Representatives
enacted a statute allowing law enforcement agents or military personnel to
second guess the intent and purpose of a suspected person, punishing
criminal intent and purpose which if made to accompany the acts protected
and guaranteed under Section 4, of Article IIT of the 1987 Constitution,
transforms these acts into the crime of terrorism;
22. The explicit inclusion of these constitutionally protected acts
under Section 4 renders the subsequent provisions of the law --Sections 5 to
12 which define new crimes; Section 16 which authorizes surveillance on
suspected terrorists; Section 25 on the designation of terrorist individuals,
groups or organization; Section 29 on warrantless arrests of suspected
terrorists; and Section 34 on the restriction of the right to travel and the
incommunicado house arrest for suspected terrorists-- discretionary on the
part of law enforcement and thus subject to abuse;
23. Thus, the far-reaching consequences of the definition of terrorism
in Section 4 invade into the domain of liberties and freedoms guaranteed
under the present Constitution that to allow its operation would not only
ultimately silence dissent but would open a Pandora’s box of all forms of
human rights violations against the targeted dissenter,
R.A, No. 11479 Being a Statute
On Free Speech, Expression,
and Assembly, It is Susceptible
to A Facial Challenge; It is On
Its Face Void for Vagueness
24. The rule established in our jurisdiction is, only statutes on freePETITIONPage 07,
speech, religious freedom, and other fundamental rights may be facially
challenged, to the exclusion of ordinary penal statutes. It is humbly and
respectfully submitted to this Honorable Supreme Court that the subject
matter of the instant petition is not merely an ordinary penal statute, but one
that crosses into the Constitutionally protected areas of free speech, free
expression, and free assembly, thereby making R.A. No. 11479 vulnerable
and susceptible to a facial challenge:
must be struck down as void for vagueness, specifically of its provisions in
Section 4. In the 2015 United States case of Johnson v, United States!, the
US Supreme Court citing its earlier rulings in Kolender? and Conally, ruled
that the Fifth Amendment provides that “[n]o person shall ... be deprived of
life. liberty. or property, without due process of law.” These cases establish
that the Government violates this guarantee by taking away someone's life,
liberty, or property under a criminal law so vague that it fails to give
ordinary people fair notice of the conduct it punishes, or so standardless that
it invites arbitrary enforcement. The prohibition of vagueness in criminal
statutes “is a well-recognized requirement, consonant alike with ordinary
notions of fair play and the settled rules of law,” and a statute that flouts
“violates the first essential of due process.” The US Supreme Court has,
thus, applied the vagueness doctrine to strike down penal laws for being
vague as this constitutes a clear affront to the due process clause as
enshrined in the Fifth Amendment. The same argument should uphold the
invitation for this Honorable Supreme Court, in the exercise of its judicial
review powers, to declare any penal law unconstitutional should it be
infested with vague provisions that could translate into ordinary people
being deprived of fair notice as to the conduct it punishes or for lack of clear
and well-defined standards that it invites arbitrary enforcement;
26. The right and duty of the state to combat the scourge of terrorism
must be recognized: but this can not be at the expense of our people's hard
eared and hard fought Constitutional rights and freedoms. Our Constitution
nis the basic and paramount law to which all other laws must conform and to
which all persons, including the highest officials of the land, must defer. No
act shall be valid, however nobly intentioned, if it conflicts with the
Constitution. The Constitution must ever remain supreme. All must bow to
the mandate of this law. Expediency must not be allowed to sap its strength
nor greed for power debase its rectitude. Right or wrong, the Constitution
must be upheld as long as it has not been changed by the sovereign people

Pretenders to illegitimate power.4 Given its extreme ‘atures which border
on overkill, the Anti-Terrorism law may be likened to indiscriminately firing
@ sub-machine gun at a crowd of innocent civilians in order to neutralize a
few terrorists who are interspersed with them:
27. This Honorable Supreme Court stands as the guarantor of
Constitutional and human rights of all persons within its jurisdiction and
must see to it that the rights are respected and enforced. In the dark days of
martial law in the '70s till the mid-'80s, the Supreme Court had, in many
occasions in many cases, let our people down. Petitioner Sanlakas now runs
to this Supreme Court as a court of last resort to protect it, its members, and
the Filipino people from a law that will run roughshod over their rights and
freedoms by declaring courageous acts of advocacy, protest, dissent, and
mass actions by the Filipino people to be acts of terrorism. As the final
bastion of our people's liberty and freedom, this Honorable Supreme Court
now finds itself once again in the historic crossroads to restrain the heavy
hands of government and protect the people's rights.
