Congress has approved the President’s previous request to extend martial law until December 31, 2018. The President recently said his decision on the martial law situation in Mindanao would depend on the recommendation of the military and the police. If the threat remains and there is still an ongoing rebellion, then constitutionally the basis will be valid for continuation of martial law,” Panelo said.
