President Rodrigo Duterte has threatened to declare martial law to eradicate the outlawed New People’s Army (NPA).
Duterte, in a taped address aired Friday morning, made the comments in the aftermath of claims from the military that communist rebels blocked the aid intended for Samar amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Maybe I will declare martial law. Ikaw na NPA, numero uno, hinaharang ang tulong sa tao, pati supply. I am putting out a warning to the Armed Forces, police, I will declare martial law, there will be no turning back,” Duterte said.


 “Kung ano ang martial law na gagawin ko, akin lang iyan. Pinagpapapatay niyo ang sundalo at pulis na walang ginawa kundi samahan ang nagdedeliver ng pera. Pagka inutos ko sa kanila, lahat na, tapusin na natin ito sa panahon ko. Two more years. Magtago na kayo, p*t*ng*n*ng legal front,” Duterte added.
Under the 1987 Constitution, a president can only declare martial law in case of invasion, rebellion or when public safety requires it. — RSJ, GMA News

"Lets just call it what it is and not make any heroes or martyrs out of flawed (possibly criminal) politicians. GMA as Speaker is political expediency. Speaker Alvarez, while good at passing the president's legislation, was hampered by bad relations ...
