MARTIAL LAW
Disagree

I disagree for bringing back Martial LawBut before I state my opinion let me introduce
first what is Martial Law to those people without knowledge about it .
So what is Martial Law?
A Martial Law is the imposition of the highest-ranking military officer as the military governor or
as the head of the government, thus removing all power from the previous executive,
legislative, and judicial branches of government .

I believed that President Rodrigo Duterte has no intention to impose Martial Law ; it was
just one of his throwaway lines. Why would President Rodrigo Duterte declare a Martial Law if
he want to make our country constitutional change? Not in this kind of principle that leads
our country to be free and protected. There are so many ways to prevent crimes and lessen
the criminal rate here in the Philippines that someday our country will not become virulent.

I strongly disagree of implementing back the Martial Law for the reason that it will cause
hundred of life again. Bringing back the history of the former President Ferdinand Marcos
regime, the Martial Law has increased the death rate here in the Philippines. Surely, Martial Law
has promised the total security of the citizen but it has arose to a new matter. Martial Law has
neglected a bias corpus, thus saying violating the freedom of each individual. Many people have
suffered in the past and it even made them rebel to this kind of principle.

I beg to disagree martial law because many people all over the country shed their blood in
their struggle to oppose his dictatorship and many people were able to lose their hope on
serving their own country just because against their will for having this kind of system .
Implementing this law again would mean no to freedom to Filipinos again. The sense of being a
democratic country would vanish. A lot of people and mostly of it, the young people they are so
many prospects for their life that they cannot achieved it anymore just because of this law.

Martial Law can be necessary in our country. Like in case of disaster, if Martial Law didnt
exist it would be chaotic. At the same time, it does exist with many negative effects on the
people.

Democratic systems everywhere are at risk, unless they change to meet the demands of
frustrated publics. But through MARTIAL LAW? If wont happen.

GOOD MORNING!
