AFP Statement on the Supreme Court's affirmation of Martial Law Extension in Mindanao until December 31, 2019
The Armed Forces of the Philippines
(AFP) as an institution constitutionally mandated to protect the people
and secure the state is elated that the Supreme Court, with the
Associate Justices voting 9-4, upheld the constitutionality of the
President’s extension of Martial Law (ML) in Mindanao until 31 December
2019.
The AFP is also pleased that Congress,
in a joint session in December 2018, voted 235-28-1 granting the
extension of ML in Mindanao.
The AFP leadership under General
Benjamin Madrigal, Jr. vows that every soldier, airman, sailor, and
marine shall lawfully and conscientiously enforce ML to crush all
threats-especially local and international terrorists groups and their
supporters —that are determined to dismember the country and undermine
the integrity of its territory by establishing a “wilayat” in Mindanao.
General Madrigal, Jr. thanks the Supreme
Court, Congress, and the people for their trust and confidence on their
AFP. He calls on fellow Filipinos to take security a personal
commitment for the safety not only of each other but of their families
as well.
