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

US-funded media outfits must be shut down

Photo from Google Images An affront to the Constitution and our sovereignty WITH the disclosure that they have been the conduits for spreading vicious black propaganda against President Duterte, it is high time, even an urgent matter of national security, for our sovereign state to shut down the four media outfits, funded by American entities, which have been used as tools to advance US hegemony over Filipino consciousness. These are the Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism (set up 1989), the Center for Media Freedom and Responsibility (also in 1989), Vera Files (2008), and Rappler (2012). It is indisputable that these news websites got funds from US entities — among them the Asia and Ford Foundations, National Endowment for Democracy, the Omidyar Network, North Base Media — which have even been explicit in their soft-power task to advance American interests globally. For the first time, the PCIJ yesterday admitted that it received a huge fund (an...
