When will martial law be declared?

Question

When will martial law be declared?

Answer 1

Yes! face the truth! there will be no changes in the near future.

Answer 2

If Gloria found no other option to extend her term. She will soon.

Answer 3

I do not think that Arroyo will extend her presidency by declaring martial law. Not all presidents will be like Musharraf in pakistan.

Martial law will not succeed without the support of the armed forces and the police force.

Its not like in Myanmar. Without free and just elections and without the support of the army, it will fall.

Well, let me ask you guys something, who is the best next person to be the president? Have any of your past president groom their next person to hold the reins of power after he/she resigns?

Why not seek political stability when your country needs it the most. Whats with all those riots/protests? It will not bring investors and money into your country. Peace and stability will .

They always say my country's government is autocratic and suppress the opposition parties. Are the opposition fit enough to rule my country in the first place?

Martial law is not supposed to be used unless there is a genuine crisis   in the country. I definitely do not support martial law at all.  

Answer 4

No matter who takes over, your country will be always the same. There will be no changes till the end of this world.

Answer 5

Article 7, Section 18 of the Constitution provides:

"The President shall be the Commander-in-Chief of all armed forces of the Philippines and whenever it becomes necessary, he may call out such armed forces to prevent or suppress lawless violence, invasion or rebellion. In case of invasion or rebellion, when the public safety requires it, he may, for a period not exceeding sixty days, suspend the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus or place the Philippines or any part thereof under martial law."

Therefore, when there comes a time of lawless violence, invasion, or  rebellion, martial law can be declared,  but only for a period of 60 days.

Answer 6

it will not be declared... it will just happen, without letting people know that martial law is already going on...

Answer 7

it is already martial law in the Phils..but an undeclared one. more harsh than the Martial Law under Marcos' Regime.

we don't have to wait for it be declared by Arroyo, the effects are already felt and seen. an example is the EO 70 something which allows those in office to inhibit themselves from presenting or answering questions in court.

Answer 8

When people start to act like wild animals then the government will do whatever is needed to maintain order.  There are some people who like to have orderly and quiet environment.  People need to sleep you know.  If those malcontents want to sleep all day and raise h**l all night let them do it in the forest.  As for me, if you wake me up with that foolishness, I will shoot you myself.

Answer 9

if the former President Marcos comes back from the dead
