it would be the 60-day Martial Law on the Southern
part of the Philippines. Due to the unexpected terrorist attack of the Maute
Group, the Philippine President has declared martial law on Mindanao. Many students
from the northern part of the Philippines have not been happy about it. They believe
that corruption is bound to happen. However, I believe that it is fit and right
that the president had declared martial law. It is mandated in the Philippine
constitution that the president can declare martial law for 60 days, given that
the country is undergoing terrorist attack or invasion. The president has not
broken any provision of his declaration and that people should not simply
assume of the outcome. The President has declared martial law for the security
and safety of the people of the Philippines.
