Look: Duterte may declare martial law next week -Lorenzana

The declaration of an across the country martial law is a "remote possibility," Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said Friday.

Duterte had before said he would be compelled to pronounce an across the country martial law if the socialist revolutionaries convey their equipped battle to the streets.

“Sinabi na rin ni Presidente ‘yan eh. Sabi niya, kung the… mga… ‘yung left, sabi niya, ‘Kung left will try to have a massive protest, magsunog sila sa kalsada, they will disrupt the country, then I might.’”



(The President has said it. If the left will try to have a massive protest, burn roads, they will disrupt the country, then I might.)

Sinabi na rin niya ang rason eh. But I don’t think — sa aking pananaw naman, estimate ko — very remote naman mangyari (But I don’t think–in my opinion, my estimate–there is remote possibility),” Lorenzana said in a Palace briefing.

The defense chief said the President was only “concerned that it (rebellion) might get out of hand.”
“So sabi niya, ‘I might declare martial law.’ But I don’t think the possibility that the left will be able to conduct a massive ano, massive demonstration across the country, disrupting the civil government or the lives of the people, eh hindi naman siguro mangyayari ‘yun (I don’t think that will happen),” he said.

various gatherings have reported to organized mass protests on September 21 to censured the ruthless war on drugs, asserted police misuse and human rights infringement, and the President's intend to pronounce an across the country martial law.
