Proclamation 1959 (Martial Law) in Maguindao


Proclamation 1959 (Martial Law) in Maguindao by PGMA

I woke up this morning, while listening to DZMM radio news, I was shocked with the proclamation of Martial Law or 1959 in Maguindanao by PGMA. I ask myself is this will be another martial law era. Though the purpose is to suppress the rumors of rebellion against the government.



I am not really equip by our laws but from the comment of one guest that the proclamation of martial law is unsubstantial. Because there is no rebellion happening and so on. I hope that this proclamation will serve on the purpose of speedy Maguindanao massacre investigation, peace and order only. And not for any political vested interest.

  1. I hope so too, Jess. I hope this will speed things up.

    Pero hindi ba Autonomous Region na sila, and in essence they are self-governing? Nakakalungkot dahil sila-sila mismo ang nagpapatayan sa rehiyon nila. I think it's deeper than politics. I think the war is personal. Nakakalungkot lang dahil nandamay pa sila ng iba.

  2. I look at it a a bolder step to have a total control over the Ampatuan families paving way for the suspension of Writ of Habeas Corpuz for their immediate arrest and dismantling of their private army to bring swift justice to the Maguindanao Massacre. This also gives the DILG a free hand in investigating Maguindanao's LGUs which is being separated from the national gov.t due to ARMM policies.

    The only apprehension I have on this is the lack of substance that warrants the need to declare Martial Law and this sets a dangerous precedent in the future. I hope that the Gov.t can restore peace as soon as possible.

  3. next time maybe she will declare martial law for the philippines so that she will remain in power..kumbaga sa ulam ay patikim pa lang ang sa maguindanao na martial law..sa nangyayaring gulo o mga pambobomba sa ibang lugar ay puwedeng gawin iyon ng gobyerno para ang tao ay maalarma..puwedeng gumawa ang gobyerno ng karahasan para kapag ang mga tao ay panic na talaga ay mag declare na lang ng martial law..

  5. Nebz- kahit na autonomous region pa sila ay walng impossible pag dating kay Madam. Sadyang masakit at meron pang inosenteng civilians na nadamay. Sana nga sila sila na lang ang nag moro-moro.

    George- considering the positive result of the 1959. But let us hope and pray that the law will commence according to its objective only.

    Arvin- walang imposible dahil minsan na nagyari sa kasaysayan ng Pinas iyan at maari nilang magamit ang ganitong kaguluhan para palawakin pa ang BM.

    Alkapon- bilang nagkakaisang bloggers ay dapat natin bantayan din ang nangyayari sa ating bayan. Ayaw ko lang maging exaggerated ang post na ito para hindi magkaroon ng kulay pulitika. but i believe sa simpleng mensahe ng bawat isa sa atin ay magiging sensitib tayo sa situation

  7. Vernz- Kaya nga medyo maging vigilant din tayo sa mga darating na panahon. Napagdaan na ng bansa ang ganitong scenario during 70's.
