Deans and professors from the Far Eastern University (FEU) Law welcomed the Supreme Court’s ruling that two portions of the Anti-Terrorism Act are unconstitutional.

The dean and professors of the Far Eastern University Law welcomed the Supreme Court’s ruling that two portions of the Anti-Terrorism Act are unconstitutional.

In a statement, Dean Mel Sta. Maria, Atty. Eirene Jhone Aguila, Atty. Gideon Pena, Atty. Michael Tiu Jr., Atty. Francis Euston Acero, and Atty. Eugene Kaw, hailed the striking down of the two provisions as a “victory for human rights and civil liberties.” “While we hoped for the declaration of unconstitutionality of the Anti-Terror Act in its entirely, we respect the Supreme Court’s decision to exercise judicial restraint when it said ‘on the basis of the current petitions, all the other challenged provisions of RA 11479 are not unconstitutional’. This certainly leaves the door open for a challenge of constitutionality on ‘as applied cases’,” they added.
