This is a pretty tough situation for our beloved President. He already declares are martial law for our safety. The only thing that scars me is that if he will gong to extend the martial law sratus in the visayas region

It is a really tough situation, and also decision for the President. He said in many conferences that he will not declare Martial Law unless it is needed, but now it is, there are still senators that are not approved with these decision by the President, though they have their points, I think the President is really wanting impatient, based on what the other senators said, but I think they had talked about these matter with the Presidents cabinet members.

Many people also don't want the decision made by the president,  they are saying "atat" to the president, they said that the president is being impatient and saying that it is not the solution for it, and then I ask myself what is the solution if it's now Martial Law? we can't just let loose those terrorist that killed a lot of people.

And I think, it will be extended in Visayas region, as president said, it is just a walking distance to mindanao, so there will be no reason to extend it to Visayas. I just hope you all understand why the President is doing these decisions.

I would agree that this should not be extended into the visayas region for now as it is still peaceful there. What is funny is that most of the people that are complaining are from the luzon area while the one in mindanao who are affected by the martial law seems to agree with it

Because most of the Philippine population that would be affected is a Martial Law has been declared. But President Duterte already stressed that if he see that Maute group is already in Metro Manila and planning to stage another bombing activity, then he will not hesitated to declare Martial Law to curb the lawlessness going on. This is to protect his constituents and not to abuse Martial Law declaration. Duterte's dectractors always react negatively for every declaration he made. Funny.
