Presidential Spokesperson Salvador Panelo shrugged off millennial fears of a martial following reports of a curfew and mall closures as part of President Rodrigo Duterte’s month-long community quarantine.
“Martial law? Meron na bang inaresto? Pag martial law maraming inaaresto, maraming kinukulong,” said Panelo in a Sunday briefing.
#Martial .Law was a trending topic on Twitter on Saturday, 14 March 2020, or a day before the start of Metro Manila’s virtual lockdown. Panelo explained the presence of soldiers and police in Metro Manila to enforce Duterte’s order to contain the spread of the virus.
“Kailangan natin ang militar kasi kailangan natin ng manpower. Hindi kaya ng mga barangay ang pagpapatupad nito. Kailangan natin ang kooperasyon ng bawat Pilipino,” he said.
Yang manpower, kaya nga kailangan natin ng militar at mga pulis, eh. Yun ang manpower na kailangan natin. Dahil hindi kaya talaga kung DOH (Department of Health), aasa lang tayo sa DOH pati sa mga pulis. Kulang yun. Sa dami natin, ilang milyon tayo dito sa Metro Manila?” he added.
