Be Informed: Martial Law Is Still Constitutional ACCORDING To The 1987 Constitution

September 21 always rings a bell. As much as I don't want to deny the atrocities of the Marcos Years but did you know martial law is STILL part of the 1987 Constitution? As much as I believe the 1987 Constitution needs to be updated and overhauled with newer reforms (aside from uplifting unreasonable restrictions towards foreign investors) but here's another part where Yellowtards and activists have missed.

Here's the CURRENT section of the 1987 Constitution that says martial law is still approved:

THE 1987 CONSTITUTION OF THE REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES – ARTICLE VII EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT

Section 18. The President shall be the Commander-in-Chief of all armed forces of the Philippines and whenever it becomes necessary, he may call out such armed forces to prevent or suppress lawless violence, invasion or rebellion. In case of invasion or rebellion, when the public safety requires it, he may, for a period not exceeding sixty days, suspend the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus or place the Philippines or any part thereof under martial law. Within forty-eight hours from the proclamation of martial law or the suspension of the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus, the President shall submit a report in person or in writing to the Congress. The Congress, voting jointly, by a vote of at least a majority of all its Members in regular or special session, may revoke such proclamation or suspension, which revocation shall not be set aside by the President. Upon the initiative of the President, the Congress may, in the same manner, extend such proclamation or suspension for a period to be determined by the Congress, if the invasion or rebellion shall persist and public safety requires it.

So what's the issue with the Marcos Years and Ferdinand Marcos Sr. in regards to martial law? Marcos misused and abused his powers during martial law. President Rodrigo R. Duterte declared martial law with the approval of the Congress composed of the House of Representatives and the Senate. President Duterte declaring martial law doesn't vest all the powers in him concerning Mindanao. He's still answerable to Congress should he ever do anything that would cause him to misuse and abuse his emergency powers.  President Duterte and military are still answerable to Congress should the martial law in Mindanao get misused and abused.
