is martial law really the only option of president duterte in marawi city PHILIPPINES?

Till now more than 600 people have been killed in the fighting and there is no end to this crisis in sight. So martial law was justified and president Duterte did the right thing by imposing it in parts of Mindanao.

yes becuase for me, marshall law is the only way to protect the people in marawi city phillipines, and president duterte know what he doing to secure the poeple againts to the maute gruop.

[malcovixeffect]

marshall law

Congress approve martial law. Anyone with a sane mind would agree.

[Sadlife]

I think declaring martial law in one of the city of the Philippines was appropriate because the enemy's they're facing is not just ordinary rebels but the affialated group of isis that is trying to get some attention to the international group ISIS. For so long this kind of dangerous people was neglected by the pasy administration now is the only time that the ph government is dealing with this people that has been kidnapping ang terrorizing the country. Declaring martial only shows that the situation is contained and isolated.

Martial Law really helps the people in Marawi City. This protects people in the said area in Mindanao. It keeps away also the terrorist from attacking such place because of being afraid by the government. The government just want people and terrorist to be afraid to them in a good way. Both a win-win for them.

Well I guess it could be an option but not the only opt. President Duterte for sure has a lot of options placed on the table before he decides to declare Martial Law. But, I do agree in declaring Martial Law at Marawi for the reason that I consider this as an act of rebellion and it is terrorizing the safety of the people lives in that place. The total control of the military in Mindanao could really be a great help to Isolate the terrorists and to prevent much more damage into nearby cities or much worse is to Visayas and Luzon.

i think yes , thats the only solution why president rodrigo duterte declares marshall law in mindanao , its the only way to help and protects the innocent people of mindanao against terrorism,,  and to anihilate the rebels that never stopped to do chaos in marawi..

[gabmen]

Well i don't know what the people ipposing martial law in marawi city are thinking as clearly, the situation warrants such move already. Makes you wonder why these people who are opposing martial law there are conveniently far from where the fighting is. There have been several interviews about how the mindanao people feel about the declaration and i don't think a lot of them are opposed to it.

its better to do this to show power i think its should be implemented all over the country when there's a threat with his authority, this terrorist groups
doesn't have any proven agenda but just to conquer marawi, the action is a fair judgement to stop those abuser in any moment of time.

Thats a bold and important move by Dueterte and with the imposed martial law, how is he going to fight the Maute group who are affiliates of ISIS and its really amazing how the world leaders haven't annihilated the ISIS group and now they seem to be springing up everywhere on the surface of the earth. Trump should start doing something since he was a vocal opponent of Obama's approach to defeating ISIS.

[Xester]

Yes, it is the only option.  People in Marawi and Mindanao feeling safe with the declaration of the martial law.  Actually if you will ask all the people there, they like the idea that they are being under the martial law.  There is nothing to be afraid of since the military and police men were very courteous with the people in Mindanao.  If you love and wanted peace, then it is okay for you to be under the surveillance.  And actually because of this, the parents of the Maute group and other members were already arrested and under the custody of the government.

Its for the best. Martial law is the only thing that can guarantee each and every citizen's safety in Marawi. Its also a way to eradicate the terrorist group that have invaded the city and to stop them from creating further damage.

[Mometaskers]

Being practical, yes, though they had to "rebrand" the attack as "rebellion", which I think somehow made those terrorists look like a legitimate rebel force.

The concern of course is that it might be used as an excuse to apply ML to the rest of the country, given Duterte's seeming authoritarian leanings (he just bad mouthed the Ombudsman for expressing her view - who he previously apologized to for doing the same thing months ago).

Another concern is that the terrorist would use this as propaganda against the country. With the idea of a Muslim ID presented a few weeks ago, they could turn martial law into a us versus them narrative to encourage others that this country is against Muslims.

That would only cause more foreign fighters to come in to the country, like they did to Iraq and Syria. Remember, we are kuffar land, our terrorists here can easily paint their actions as a Muslim struggle against infidels.

AFAIK it's only for the whole Mindanao to make this siege in control of the government. I guess it's the best option for him.

[kuyaJ]

President Duterte dont do everything or command something that isn't help his country. He do all what they really can do for his country. For some case that there are almost dead people i think it is the way to alive people that they are danger from their own country.

[starpro]

is martial law really the only option of president duterte in marawi city PHILIPPINES?

I'll correct the title it is Duterte not duterde though it's not a big deal. I think he must do it for the whole country not just in Marawi / mindanao.

[justmint]

Martial law in marawi sure but in the whole province of Mindanao? Hell no.

[Xester]

Indeed.  It is better to have those criminal dies for the sake of the much more Filipinos who can be a victim.  All what he is thinking is for the future of the kids here in the Philippines.  He is the father of this country and will do everything for the sake of its people.  All that he is implementing is for the sake and welfare of its people not for some few personality.  I did not regret that I voted for him.

I think so. The people in Marawi thinks those Maute Terrorist group are good because the group somehow provide help to those people like robinhood did but the money they have are blood money through kidnap for ransom business. now this business they do started decades and decades past i haven't born during those times, their name isn't Maute yet. This business has been passed down to generations to generations involving all kind of terrorist groups stationed to every corner of the Philippines including the CCP NPA, now why don't we have the martial law all over the Philippines so there won't have insurgents.
