Esperon rejects martial law extension 0 SHARES Share it! However, Esperon cautioned that if martial law is lifted, authorities and the public should be more diligent to thwart any threat of terrorism or lawless violence. “For now, our position is we are not inclined to recommend the extension of martial law in Mindanao,” he added. Esperon bared that the security cluster is set to have a joint command conference before the end of November where the martial law extension will be discussed. After the siege ended in October 2017, Duterte asked that martial law be extended until the end of 2017, which Congress approved.
