Review
Martial law refers to the replacement of civil rule by military rule. This may be
characterized by curfews, the dispensation of military tribunal rulings on civilians, and the
suspension of the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus. The writ of habeas corpus, which
in Latin refers to “having the body”, is a citizen’s protection against unlawful imprisonment.

Marcos used several events to justify martial law. Threat to the country’s security
was intensifying following the re-establishment of the Communist Party of the Philippines
(CPP) in 1968. Supporters of CPP’s military arm, the New People’s Army, also grew in
numbers in Tarlac and other parts of the country. The alleged attempt to the life of then
Minister of Defense Juan Ponce Enrile gave Marcos a window to declare Martial Law. Marcos
announced the emergency rule the day after the shooting incident. Marcos also declared
insurgency in the south caused by the clash between Muslims and Christians, which Marcos
considered as a threat to national security. The Muslims were defending their ancestral land
against the control of Christians who migrated in the area. The minority group organized
the Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) in Malaysia and pushed for the autonomy of
Mindanao from the national government. (Retrieved from https://www.philippine-

Review

EDSA Revolution was one of the most important events that shaped our country’s
history. Because of their great desire for change, millions of Filipinos gathered together,
supported each other, and made a dictator step down from power. Not only did it free the
Philippines from dictatorship, it also became a clear proof of how collective efforts from
people who want change can create an enormous and powerful difference (Garcia, 2018).

Review
The Marawi Siege posed a serious national and regional security concern because it
would rekindle another Moro insurgency and potentially attract would would-be jihadists to
make urban siege as a template to conduct similar attacks in neighboring countries in the
Southeast Asia (Divinagracia, E. (2018). The terror attack was catastrophic in nature that
the Philippine Government declared Martial Law in Mindanao to contain the terrorist threat.
It had cost severe human suffering with several hundreds of militants, soldiers and civilians
killed, thousands were injured, and hundreds of thousands displaced. The effects of the
urban attack were reverberating so that the cost of rehabilitation reached in the billions of
dollars (Ibid.). The siege that happened in Marawi City was a result of three main factors
namely: the terrorist organization, the operational environment, and the urban
environment. It has strategic implications for national and regional security. The Marawi
Siege highlights the need for the Philippines to develop a holistic approach by integrating
the different instruments of national power to defeat, deny and prevent the resurgence and
expansion of terrorism in urban centers across the Philippines (Ibid.).
