00:00 It is also possible that the attack on Mindanao State University in Marawi City will be legalized.
00:05 Because of the bomb, some officials have asked to declare martial law in Mindanao again.
00:13 Mel Alasmora reports.
00:14 According to the first district representative of the House Ad Hoc Committee on Marawi Rehabilitation Chair,
00:24 Alonto Adjong, the martial law in Mindanao will be declared again following the bombing in Marawi City.
00:31 In 2017, former President Rodrigo Duterte implemented it in Mindanao following the Marawi siege.
00:38 But for Adjong, this is not the time now.
00:41 I think we should not resort to that because we do not want to cause unnecessary panic.
00:49 What we have to do is based on the experience that we accomplished after the Marawi siege,
00:54 we need to win the people's support.
00:57 We need to win the sympathies.
00:59 And by doing so, we do not only resort to military effort.
01:03 We also need to invest more on the civilian defense scheme or civilian defense intervention.
01:11 The House Ad Hoc Committee on Marawi Rehabilitation heard the hearing again.
01:15 Here, the lawmakers pushed for a quick recovery of the city because it is connected to the security issue there.
01:23 They say that if the city is restored, it will be difficult for terrorists to enter the area.
01:29 Very disappointing given the timeline that was given that it needs to be extended.
01:35 Even if you say that the money that was allocated here is a billion from the last administration,
01:42 but until now, many of it has not been used.
01:46 The development in security is a big factor.
01:50 This is the main reason why Speaker Martin Romualdez created the Ad Hoc Committee.
01:57 This administration wants to be more specific and determined and laser-point the interventions that we will do.
02:07 Congressmen also condemned the new bombing of Marawi.
02:12 According to House Speaker Martin Romualdez, they will cooperate with government agencies to quickly use justice.
02:20 House Minority Leader Marcelino Libana said that the most severe punishment should be given to the authorities against those who are proven to be involved in the crime.
02:30 While the TINGOG Portalist quickly reached out to the victims of the tragedy.
02:35 The House Speaker's Office is happy and is also helping Marawi LGU for other aid that is needed in the area.
02:43 In the House Plenary Session, the tragedy was also raised and the lawmakers called for the incidents of violence in the country to stop.
