Gen. Restituto Padilla Jr. said the military had yet to determine if there was a need to extend martial law in Mindanao. “We have set conditions that would specifically mention or act as the standards whether martial law should be extended or not,” Padilla told reporters. The martial law declaration, under Proclamation 216, will mark its 60th day on July 22. We want [Congress] to look into the operational guidelines of martial law and its impact on the ground. Villarin said he would file a resolution seeking to investigate human rights abuses and excesses committed under Duterte’s martial law.
