Año addressed the opposition and communist rebels
regarding the MO 32, should not be interpreted as a way for the President to
have the whole country under martial law rule.
“Martial law will not be declared in the country.
What MO 32 will do, on the other hand, is to focus military and police presence
in those areas where insurgents are active,” Año said.
He calls the critics of MO 32 as those who judt
want to put the administration in a bad
light.
“The opposition and
communists are reading too much into the Order and are intentionally trying to
instill fear or panic among the Filipinos,” the DILG secretary said.
Año clarifies that the principal purpose of MO 32
is just to facilitate the movement of government troops from other parts of the
country to Bicol, Samar, and Negros Island.
He points that only the enemies of democracy are
fearful of President Duterte’s directive to suppress violence in some parts of the country.
“The communist terrorist
groups and their front organizations are crying foul over this because they
know for certain that they will be decimated by government forces once these
troops are deployed,” Sec. Año said.
He gave the assurance to
the public that government troops will
be observing utmost respect to the rights of civilians and will not lead to
human rights abuses in the carrying out of the MO 32.
