With the digital age\u2019s follower count mattering in terms of influence and spreading awareness, several artists have joined the call for #JunkTerrorBill to their millions of followers.<\/p>\n

It is just a hashtag with three words but even without elaborate and long statements, posting it is a clear stand against the Anti-Terrorism Act of 2020, which President Rodrigo Roa Duterte certified as urgent and has slipped through the third reading in the lower chamber. Without disagreements with the Senate version, a bicameral conference is no longer needed and it is on its way to the Executive branch. This means that just a signature from Duterte and the bill becomes a law.<\/p>\n

Actresses like Bea Alonzo, Kathryn Bernardo, Nadine Lustre, posted the #JunkTerrorBill hashtag to their respective accounts.<\/p>\n

Angel Locsin was a bit more elaborate through an Instagram post, by sharing a photo set of protesters, captioned “Not a terrorist.”<\/p>\n
