Vice
President Maria Leonor “Leni” Robredo has just concluded that martial law is
back in the country.
The Vice
President did not think twice in having that conclusion amidst the so called
fear that it might creep in under the administration of President Rodrigo Roa
Duterte.
Robredo has
always made it known that she is against the martial rule and the alleged
impunity under the current administration of President Rodrigo Duterte.

She has
cited that news today are the very same ones that have been plaguing the nation
since the 1970’s under former President Ferdinand Marcos.
“Kasi
tingnan natin iyong mga balita ngayon. Kapag nagbasa tayo ng diyaryo,
pinag-uusapan iyong pagha-harass sa mga members ng media na nagkakaroon ng
lakas ng loob na i-call out iyong pamahalaan,” the VP said.
“Iyong
pinag-uusapan, iyong threats na mawalan ng scholarships iyong mga estudyante.
Iyong pinag-uusapan, iyong threat na ipapakulong. Iyong pinag-uusapan, mga
patayan (We are discussing the threat to our students who may lose their
scholarship. We are discussing the issues on killings),” Robredo noted.
Robredo base
it on facts.
The Vice
President claims that all of her conclusion is base on the fact that there has
been continued threats against mediamen
and critics and the alleged killing of thousands due to the government’s
war on illegal drugs.
“Parang time
warp tayo, nandoon ulit tayo sa panahon noong dictatorship. Iyong mga
pinag-uusapan ngayon, iyon din iyong pinag-usapan many years ago, at akala
natin hindi na babalik iyong ganitong kultura sa atin, pero bumalik na naman,”
she added.
This same sentiment is shared by former President Benigno Aquino III, when in a recent speaking engagement he said that he feels that the country is making a u-turn back to martial law.

He backs up
his pronouncement when President Duterte moves to re-create a Department of
Human Settlements and the proposal to change the current name of the country to
“Maharlika.”
