he declares martial law
Tomorrow we commemorate the birth date of the great Plebian, perhaps the real Philippine National Hero who fought for our country using his own name, and not because the friars took away their land.
But that reminds of the stark reality that there are constant reminders of suspension of writ of habeas corpus (after the declaration of state of lawlessness) Martial Bonifacio (the name used in passport of Ninoy) may just be around the corner. Digong has heads and hands full with the following:
1. Uncontrolled kidnapping by ASG in Mindanao despite 10,000 strong military ops;
2. Maute rebellion in Mindanao, even ambush of his advanced convoy;
3. Traffic problem (he still does not have emergency powers; Political foes are giving him a hard time
4. The drug problems:
Talamak na involvement ng govt officials elective and appointive and even in his very own police force which he trusts: generals cols. BUCOR officials
5. Graft and corruption
CSC laws, due process, Constitutional rights protecting corrupt officials. The slow wheels of justice and govt grinds very slowly to defy efforts to clean the govt of corruption. No the ERC officials will not resign because they have a tenure to be observed just like judges.
Corrupt govt officials entrenched in the legislative and judicial branches. And they have lawyers and laws behind them.
Corrupt barangay officials and LGU officials - their kotong ways have not abated.
Campaign vs corruption in various depts are met with strong resistance as in DOJ, and even assassination as in Bureau of Customs
As fmr Senator and fmr expert on martial law, Pres Duterte needs the declaration of martial law to combat crimes and solve all other challenges of the country. I will do the same if I were the President. An achiever can do no less. A man of honor and respect for his word will demand nothing less to achieve his goals
