There is no point second guessing President Rodrigo Duterte on his declaration of a state of lawlessness nationwide.
In an ambush interview Saturday, Senate President Koko Pimentel said it
was a judgement call on the part of the President following the "Black
Friday" bombing Davao City which killed 16 people and injured 70 others.
Pimentel said the public was better of trusting Duterte on his call and helping him keep the peace and security.
That's really the judgement call of the President. The President has
more access to reports, intelligence reports, situation reports and high
ranking officials sa law enforcement kaya alam niya yung situation sa
buong bansa. So sa judgement call ng Presidente, there is a state of
lawless violence or lawlessness in the entire country, respetuhin po
natin ang kanyang desisiyon, said Pimentel.
"Tulungan na lang po natin siya, anyway that's just a declaration so
that to put on notice ang military, armed forces at ang buong bansa, na
he will start using the military to suppress (and) put an end to lawless
violence," he added.
Pimentel said the first priority was to determine the perpetrators before making conclusions on why they made the attack.
Nabalita sa buong mundo yung explosion so I think the entire world is
also looking at our response or reaction. So normal lang po na if we
tighten our security measures hindi ba mas good news na yun sa mga
bisita natin na banyaga, said Pimentel.
