Ang Human Securities Act o mas kilala bilang Republic Act No. 9372 ay sinasabing ipinatupad dahil sa rason o layunin na ito:

“To protect life, liberty, and property from acts of terrorism, to condemn terrorism as inimical and dangerous to the national security of the country… and to make terrorism a crime against the Filipino people, against humanity and against the law of nations”

May mga tao na nagaalala na gawing legal ang paggamit at pagabuso ng kapangyarihan ng gobyerno sa pamamagitan ng pag-violate n gating “right to privacy at due process” Sinasabi sa 1987 Constitution Article 3, Section 3 na:

(1)The privacy of communication and correspondence shall be inviolable except upon lawful order of the court, or when public safety or order requires otherwise, as prescribed by law.
(2) Any evidence obtained in violation of this or the preceding section shall be inadmissible for any purpose in any proceeding.
Ito ba ay nasusunod?? Sa sobrang gulo ng ating bansa hindi na naipatutupad ang ganitong mga batas. Nandyan nga ngunit hindi naman nagagamit. Ang mga membro ng Ecumenical Bishops Forum o EBF ay nagpulong at nagusap. Mula paguusap nagpalabas sila ng isang statement na sinasabi na ang terrorismo ay nagbigay sa ating lipunan ng mga papel na nararapat para sa Diyos.

Ang terrorismo ay napaparusahan ng 40 taong pagkakabilanggo. Ngunit sabi ni Nikka Hao, AKBAYAN Partylist Vice Chairperson for UP DILIMAN, para na rin binibigyan ng batas na ito ang pagkakataon na maging diyos ang gobyerno. Ang tanging dapat nilang gawin ay ipatupad at siguruhing sinusunod ang nasasaad sa batas hindi yung sila ang nagiging batas.

May nasusulat sa batas na ito tungkol sa Grievannce. Sa ating paaralang De La Salle University, binibigyan ng karapatan ang bawat magaaral na maghain ng reklamo o complaint laban sa kanilang guro, sa pasilidad ng paaralan o sa mismong pamamalakad ng pinuno ng paaralan. Sinasabi sa bahaging ito ng batas ang tungkol sa Grievance.

SEC. 56. Creation of a Grievance Committee. - There is hereby created a Grievance Committee composed of the Ombudsman, as chair, and the Solicitor General, and an undersecretary from the Department of Justice (DOJ), as members, to receive and evaluate complaints against the actuations of the police and law enforcement officials in the implementation of this Act. The Committee shall hold office in Manila.

The Committee shall have three subcommittees that will be respectively headed by the Deputy Ombudsmen in Luzon, the Visayas and Mindanao. The subcommittees shall respectively hold office at the Offices of Deputy Ombudsman. Three Assistant Solicitors General designated by the Solicitor General, and the regional prosecutors of the DOJ assigned to the regions where the Deputy Ombudsmen hold office shall be members thereof. The three subcommittees shall assist the Grievance Committee in receiving, investigating and evaluating complaints against the police and other law enforcement officers in the implementation of this Act. If the evidence warrants it, they may file the appropriate cases against the erring police and law enforcement officers. Unless seasonably disowned or denounced by the complainants, decisions or judgments in the said cases shall preclude the filing of other cases based on the same cause or causes of action as those that were filed with the Grievance Committee or its branches.

Meron tayong ganitong batas, ngunit kung tayo ay manonood ng balita makikita natin na maraming menor de edad ang naabuso. Madalas na kasabwat ang mga kabarkada o kamag-anak ng bata. Sangayon ang kabataan sa pagkakaroon nito, ngunit hindi lahat ay nabibigyan ng pagkakataon na ilabas ang tunay na nararamdaman sa takot nab aka balikan sila.

May isang parte ng batas na hindi dapat ipatupad sinasabi sa section 18 na:

SEC. 18. Period of Detention Without Judicial Warrant of Arrest .- The provisions of Article 125 of the Revised Penal Code to the contrary notwithstanding, any police or law enforcement personnel, who, having been duly authorized in writing by the Anti-Terrorism Council has taken custody of a person charged with or suspected of the crime of terrorism or the crime of conspiracy to commit terrorism shall, without incurring any criminal liability for delay in the delivery of detained persons to the proper judicial authorities, deliver said charged or suspected person to the proper judicial authority within a period of three days counted from the moment the said charged or suspected person has been apprehended or arrested, detained, and taken into custody by the said police, or law enforcement personnel: Provided, That the arrest of those suspected of the crime of terrorism or conspiracy to commit terrorism must result from the surveillance under Section 7 and examination of bank deposits under Section 27 of this Act.

The police or law enforcement personnel concerned shall, before detaining the person suspected of the crime of terrorism, present him or her before any judge at the latter's residence or office nearest the place where the arrest took place at any time of the day or night. It shall be the duty of the judge, among other things, to ascertain the identity of the police or law enforcement personnel and the person or persons they have arrested and presented before him or her, to inquire of them the reasons why they have arrested the person and determine by questioning and personal observation whether or not the suspect has been subjected to any physical, moral or psychological torture by whom and why. The judge shall then submit a written report of what he/she had observed when the subject was brought before him to the proper court that has jurisdiction over the case of the person thus arrested. The judge shall forthwith submit his/her report within three calendar days from the time the suspect was brought to his/her residence or office.

Immediately after taking custody of a person charged with or suspected of the crime of terrorism or conspiracy to commit terrorism, the police or law enforcement personnel shall notify in writing the judge of the court nearest the place of apprehension or arrest: Provided ,That where the arrest is made during Saturdays, Sundays, holidays or after office hours, the written notice shall be served at the residence of the judge nearest the place where the accused was arrested.

The penalty of ten (10) years and one day to twelve (12) years of imprisonment shall be imposed upon the police or law enforcement personnel who fails to notify and judge as Provided in the preceding paragraph.

Para ng sinabi na kung ang mga tao ay mukhang Arabo sila ay terrorista. Sa ibang bansa, ang tingin ng tao sa mga Arabo, Muslim o basta nakabalot ang ulo ay terrorista. May pagkakataon na ginagawang biro ang pagkakaroon ng kaugnayan sa kanila. Ang pabiro kung minsan ay: “Nako kung kamaganak ko yan safe ako, kasi maraming Granada at baril yan! Terrorista kasi” Isa hindi na naiaaplly ang kasabihang “Innocent until proven guilty” Wala pa kasing pormal na paghahatol mabilis kaagad na sasabihin na terrorista, criminal, dapat patayin.

Ang Human Securities Act ay nandyan upang bigyan tayo ng kasiguruhan na ating mga karapatan ay naisasakatuparan at na-eexercise. Sa pamamagitan nito nabibigyan ng lakas ng loob ang sino man upang ilabas ang nararamdaman.
