PNP bats for selective martial law in Mindanao 0 SHARES Share it! The martial law rule in the entire Mindanao is set to lapse on December 31, 2019, and some government security officials want it lifted. But Lt. Gen. Archie Gamboa, PNP officer-in-charge, said that while he agrees that martial law is unnecessary in most areas in Mindanao, there are still places where it is needed. Gamboa said they are currently conducting assessment in Mindanao to identify the areas where there is no more need for Martial Law. Martial law was declared in Mindanao a few days after the Maute Group laid siege on Marawi City in May 2017.
