MANILA — President Rodrigo Duterte will call the Congress to a special session on Saturday, 9 a.m. to “consider” the extension of Martial Law in Mindanao. ADVERTISEMENTFariñas made the announcement on Monday, at 7:55 p.m., after Malacañang invited members of the House to a meeting as the 60-day period for martial law declared on May 23 would wind down to its last week. Martial Law is set to expire on July 22. He added that there should be enough discussion and martial law should not be “forcibly passed on the same day.”“If AFP proves Martial Law helped and they just could not fully control the situation, I might even agree to it,” Baguilat said.
