Duterte’s shameless opponents play opportunistic politics while ISIS attacks
Even as ISIS have conquered the Philippine city of Marawi, some of President Rodrigo Duterte’s opponents want to play politics during an unambiguous time of war.
President Duterte has put the southern Philippine island of Mindanao under martial law for 60 days according to existing provisions of the Constitution with an option to extend martial law should the war against ISIS intensify. Contrary to false reports in the western media, Duterte has not put the entire country under martial law.
