Madam President seize the day, declare martial law over the entire Philippine archipelago! I personally do not like your governance but if the intention is to instill discipline and disband private armies, the declaration of martial law is justified. The creation of a commission is not going to do the trick. We simply have become an undisciplined lot. The Ampatuans while Maguindanaoans, have plenty of their kind all over the country. Take for example the case of the Davao Death Squad, we are enraged at the death of 57 people and rightly so, but what about the hundreds of people who died in the hands of this group which is said to be headed by a prominent politician who himself goes around with a phalanx of bodyguards? We can take a cue from the first days of martial law under President Marcos where people would fall in line, even have good haircuts, and definitely no guns anywhere in the land until discipline itself broke down from within the ranks of the people who were supposed to instill it, and here is where you can make a big difference by preventing it from going the way of President Marcos. The Filipino people has already judged you and no matter what you do, it is not going to change it anymore unless it is as dramatic as the declaration of martial law. I believe in redemption and you can use the opportunity to make amends yourself by simply returning to the Filipino people anything which you believe you or any of your relatives cannot account with your legitimate incomes. Above all, you have to make sure that in declaring martial law, you have to wield its powers with an even hand, otherwise you are going to lose the last opportunity to redemption and be eternally condemned instead. The lawyers will challenge the constitutionality of such action but what the heck, abrogate the constitution itself. After all, isn't everyone interested in its revision anyway? Madam President, SEIZE THE DAY!
