BREAKING NEWS: September 21--"National Day of Protest", Can Duterte turn it to Martial Law?




“September 21 is not a holiday. I have declared it as a [National] Day of Protest. All who want to stage protests against the government, police, military and everyone, come down here and launch a rally,” the President said after his wake visit to a policeman who died in a anti-drug operation in Caloocan City.

 Duterte said he was merely declaring September 21, Thursday, as “National Day of Protest,” which will allow any Filipino citizens to demonstrate mass protests all throughout the country.
Duterte’s statement came after he made a recent pronouncement that he was mulling to declare a “holiday,” in anticipation of the conduct of massive rally on the 45th anniversary commemoration of martial law imposed by Marcos.

The President also reminded the communists not to commit crimes and violent acts when they stage protests. “The red army, come down here, I will not arrest you. I will not arrest you but for the life of me I am asking you. Do not commit crimes. No vandalism. No any [hostile acts] because the police and the army would just stay in the barracks,” he said.
Ahead of the 45th anniversary of martial law, Duterte on September 9 indicated his plan to declare a same autocrat rule all throughout the country, if the communist rebels create “destruction and trouble” on the streets when they hold demonstrations.

In an interview aired on state-run PTV4 on September 15, Dutete said he would announced September 21 as holiday to avoid chaos during the protests that will be carried out by militant groups.

“At this early, I am announcing that I am ordering a holiday so no one will get hurt, in case of demonstration and it gets chaotic. There will be no work in government and classes are suspended that day,” the Chief Executive said.
"Sabi ko, 'Sige.' Sabi ko, 'Hayaan mo.' But do not commit the mistake. Ako, hindi ako nananakot ha. Do not commit the mistake of staging a rebellion. ‘Yung sabihin mo na there’s a fighting on the streets. I will not hesitate to impose martial law all throughout the country and order the arrest of everybody," he added.
"Huwag kayong magkamali. You can demonstrate sa streets in the coming days. I am ordering the military to stay in the barracks, but be prepared for war," Duterte said.
Senator Antonio Trillanes IV accused President Rodrigo Duterte of itching to declare martial law to avoid answering for controversies hounding him and his family.
"Itong si Duterte, kating-kati na itong mag-declare ng martial law para malusutan niya ang mga problema niya sa pulitika," Trillanes told reporters.
"Maghahanap 'yan ng dahilan," he added.
 Trillanes said Duterte needed to declare martial law to evade such issues as his son Vice Mayor Paolo Duterte's alleged involvement in the P6.4-billion shabu shipment that slipped past the Bureau of Customs.
"[Declaring martial law nationwide is] very remote to happen. The President is just very concerned that it might get out of hand that's why he said, 'I might declare martial law,'" Lorenzana said. "But I don't think that the Left will be able to conduct the massive demonstration across the country, disrupting [or] disabling government or the lives of the people. Perhaps, that's not going to happen," he added.

“If my duty fall short of the expectations of the people or would have a different view of how things would be run, I’ll accept it. I can go to prison even. What I’m afraid of is the wrath [of] God. It’s always God that counts,” President Rodrigo Duterte said. “My God says that I have to do something because God says that you were elected to really serve the people. And if I go down, I will go down. If I go up, I go up. I place myself in this. Whether I go up or I go down, I will do the things which I have to do because it is my work,” he added. “You know God, if it’s really 10,000 and they are dead, why don’t you ask them? They are here already in hell. And you’ll get the true answer. And you say, ‘Why are you dead? What’s wrong with you? For what?’” he said. “Tell me now, what is my sanctuary in the face of all this onslaught against the people? Do I kill innocent people? What will I get? You think God will like it?
