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

( Photo from bloomberg.com) One of the world’s top plastic polluters is giving its garbage a second life by using it to construct much-needed infrastructure. Philippine companies like San Miguel Corp. and Aboitiz Equity Ventures Inc. are using discarded shopping bags, sachet wrappers and plastic packaging to fire cement plants and build roads as the country embarks on an 8 trillion-peso ( $157 billion ) infrastructure push through 2022. San Miguel has laid down its first road combining plastic scraps with asphalt, it said in November. The surface material, developed with Dow Chemical Co., used 900 kilograms (1,984 pounds) of plastic to pave a 1,500-square meter (16,145-square foot) test site near the capital. For Aboitiz’s Republic Cement & Building Materials Inc., plastic serves as an alternative to coa...
