Hindi sagot ang martial law extension sa gutom sa Mindanao - Pangilinan

While the bombing is deplorable and the perpetrators should be apprehended and brought to justice I do not see the need for a martial law extension. The existing martial law proclamation failed to prevent the bombing so why would an extension prevent a future bombing? What is needed is no-nonsense police work to punish the guilty and if necessary the calling out of the armed forces to address these lawless elements without need for a martial law declaration.

Up until now, the region is stricken by hunger due to the rice crisis and high prices of commodities. This requires immediate action, and martial law extension is definitely not one of them.
