MANILA, Philippines \u2014 President Rodrigo Duterte on Thursday, June 7, denied that martial law is part of the \u201cradical change\u201d he will soon implement in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, martial law is not feasible. It won\u2019t work. It won\u2019t work,\u201d Duterte said in a media interview during the inauguration of the Mactan Cebu International Airport Terminal 2 in Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu.<\/p>\n

The President added that implementing a nationwide martial law will create a \u201cdivided nation.\u201d<\/p>\n

This statement came after Duterte on Wednesday mentioned martial law in a warning directed to \u201call,\u201d including criminals, government officials, and even human rights groups.<\/p>\n

“Well, remember that there is \u2014 there’s no difference actually between martial law and a declaration of national emergency. So I’ve been warning all. Lahat<\/em> (Everyone). I’m warning all including the Human Rights, it’s either we behave or we will have a serious problem again,” Duterte said.<\/p>\n

In his recent interview, Duterte defended that \u201cin other countries, [a] national emergency is equated with martial law.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also said that he would not be declaring another state of emergency as there is still one in effect.<\/p>\n

The President also recognized the \u201cabuses committed\u201d when the country was under martial law in 1972 until 1981, calling it \u201cunbridled\u201d and \u201cunfettered.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat cannot happen in my time,\u201d Duterte said, adding he will not allow anyone to oppress the public.<\/p>\n

When asked to expound on the \u201cradical change\u201d he said is coming soon, Duterte explained that it would primarily deal with \u201cfixing\u201d government agencies.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have to fix the PNP,\u201d Duterte said. \u201cMasyado ang<\/em> corruption (Corruption is prevalent), then I will deal with the local governments lalo na \u2018yang<\/em> (especially the) complacency and the nonchalant attitude towards the problem of criminality,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The president is also looking into directly placing some government agencies under his office.<\/p>\n

Ako na \u2018yung <\/em>boss nila<\/em> (I will become their boss),\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHindi ko pa nasabi<\/em>. Kung sabihin ko ngayon masaktan \u2018yung<\/em> secretary na matatamaan<\/em> (I haven\u2019t said [which one]. If I would announce it now, the secretary [involved] would feel hurt),\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a Cabinet meeting coming up. I will also have my command conference and that will be the time that I would be ready to declare anything out of respeto sa kanila <\/em>(respect to them),\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
