We all called for the government and law enforcers to get this savage massacre case closed SWIFTLY.

Now that the government is responding to our call, we want to put it to a stop. WTF!!!

The Martial Law proclamation is very specific. It should take into effect ONLY in Maguindanao- to put an end to this mother fucking criminals- Ampatuans. Arroyo mandated the law enforcers to collect as much evidences as we can to axe out the heads of these animals - for 60DAYS. The government has to declare ML because these Ampatuans wont just sit there while state of emergency is in effect. They will resort to all legal means to get out of this mess- and buy themselves time to dispose, whitewash, silence any possible evidence and witness. Not only that, these warlords are massing up themselves with idiot private armies.

Time is of essence!!! Shall we wait for more bombings and killings before we declare ML?! Zaldy's territory is NOT ONLY Maguindanao, but the ARMM region. They wont focus their savagery only in Maguindanao, but possibly in the entire Mindanao!! That's gonna be too chaotic! Can't you people see the wisdom of this ML declaration?

All the law enforcers need is 60 days or shorter to prevent these things to happen and put these criminals behind bars. We ALL want them there. Let's help them perform their duty! Instead of criticizing, why wont you people travel to Maguindanao and partake on the government's effort to put this case to rest instead of sitting on your asses in the comfort of your mansions and parrot out complains with SHALLOW basis?

STARSCREWER's right. The culture of fear have long been going on in this area. I have lived in Basilan for the first 20 years in my life- so I know how it feels like to be overwhelmed with these lawless animals. The likes of ampatuans are SAVAGE and INSANE. They kill people like dogs. They even have this mentality that shedding their hands with the victims' blood will take them to heaven.

THEIR DOGMA IS BLOODSHED.

Most of our Muslim brothers are cool, respectful and just like any other filipino tribes, they also long for peace though. ONLY A FEW are TOO STUPID. If you people, those who are against the ML declaration would head to Maguindanao and start asking people there if they are in favor of ML, you'd be shocked.

For ONCE- ENOUGH OF POLITICKING. DON'T COMPARE THIS MARTIAL LAW WITH THAT OF MARCOS' TIME. THIS IS A WAY TOO DIFFERENT.

For ONCE- LET'S RALLY BEHIND THE PRESIDENT AND TAKE THE AMPATUANS TO HELL!

Please, please, please. Stop with all this bickering. Andaming tao puro comment di naman nag-iisip. Puro emosyon, puro haka-haka.

How else are you going to disarm a warlord that employs a division-sized army? How else are you going to arrest a suspect when courts do not grant warrants? FACT- 11 warrants were applied for, only one approved. and that warrant points to Cotabato City. ang layo naman nun sa Maguindanao. alam nyo bakit? takot ang mga korte sa Maguindanao, o hindi kaya supporter din ng mga warlord.

A division sized element armed with automatic weapons and troop carriers exists in Maguindanao. And that element is not controlled by the AFP. What could they be? TOURISTS? Are you people blind? This is blatant disregard for authority. A division sized element not controlled by the AFP poses a threat to NATIONAL SECURITY. Not just a threat, that is CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER.

If you think Martial Law as provided by the current constitution is as harsh as pre-1987, think again.

Many of you don't even know what it's like to live in Mindanao, let alone Maguindanao. See, in warlord-controlled municipalities, there never was a semblance of democracy- tantamount to a state of Martial Law. The difference is that this new Martial Law imposed by National Government allows us citizens to keep it in check. Had this Maguindanao Massacre not surfaced, none of you would know how long this culture of fear in Maguindanao has gone on.

Hoy ymman nagmamagaling karin eh, siguro idol mo si Erap, kala mo kung ikaw ang Presidente masusulusyonan mo ang problema sa maguindanao laban sa mga makapangyarihan angkan ng Ampatuan, ano solusyon na alam mo? tumahimik kanalang dyan, isa karin sa mga gumugulo sa Pilipinas, ala ng ginawang tama sa inyo si Gloria ng ating bansa kahit si Obama siguro ang Presidente natin magdecision nyan mali parin sa inyo kasi mentality nyo na ang laging pumuna sa kamalian ng Presidente di muna ninyo aralin ang situation kung makakaganda nga ba sa lugar ng Maguindanao ang ginawa ni Gloria kung di diniklara ni Gloria ang Martial Law sa tingin nyo makukuha ng mga militar ang mga firepower ng Ampatuan. Hay kaya di tayo umaasenso dahil sa inyong mga punador na kala mo napagaling.. Manahimik kanalang ymman mas maganda payon..

Arroyo's declaration of martial law in Maguindanao is not THE solution to the present crisis in the area, yet an added burden, another misuse and abuse of the duly-prostituted Constitution under this administration. Instead of focusing on the gruesome killings of the Ampatuans, the peoples' attention now are focused on the chilling effect of the Marcos martial law, which the country had experienced in more gruesome ways, worse than that of the Maguindanao massacre. Malacañang is not only testing the waters, but also testing the "loyalty" of her allies in Congress and her appointees in the Supreme Court. If Congress and the Supreme Court will not revoke this declaration on the grounds of constitutionality, then this declaration is a BAD PRECEDENT coming, of course, from a BAD PRESIDENT! what else can we expect?
