    President Duterte put the whole island of Mindanao under martial law as of 10 p.m. of May 23, following violent clashes between government troops and members of the Maute group in Marawi.

    The martial law declaration for the island lasts for 60 days, according to presidential spokesperson Ernesto Abella.

    “[Deputy Executive Sec. Menardo] Guevarra has clarified that this is possible on the grounds of existence of rebellion because of what is happening in Mindanao based on Article 7, Section 18 of the Constitution. This is good for 60 days,” said Abella.

    The development also prompted Mr. Duterte to cut short his four-day official trip to Russia before he had embarked on any of the activities on his schedule

    Duterte has enough reasons now to put the entire island of Mindanao in martial law following violent clashes between government troops and Maute group in Marawi.

    The palace says Martial law will last for 60 days.

    Authorities in Marawi and surrounding areas are in full alert!

    Remember that the Islamic extremists have been moving out of Mindanao into other islands. Martial law could be coming to an island near you.

    Who knows. Mindanao is a VERY large island. It is silly to put the entire island under martial law. Why should Surigao be under martial law when the fighting is so far away from them? If there is fighting in Bohol he may very well put an entire region under martial law.
