Ikinokonsidera ni Pangulong Duterte ang rekomendasyon ng PNP at AFP na isailalim sa martial law ang Sulu matapos ang dalawang pagsabog sa Jolo nitong Lunes. BASAHIN:
MANILA -- President Rodrigo Duterte will consider the military and national police's recommendation to declare martial law in the southern province of Sulu, following a double bombing that killed at least 14 people and injured dozens, Malacañang said Wednesday.
“The recommendations have been made, and he listens to those on the ground,” Duterte's spokesman Harry Roque told CNN Philippines. “Although the recommendation has been made, the President has to be very careful that it will pass the scrutiny of both the legislative and judicial branches of government,” he added.
Authorities initially said a female bomber on Monday blew herself up while authorities cordoned off the town plaza of Jolo after a homemade bomb strapped to a motorcycle exploded. Reacting to criticism over Duterte's failure to mention the blasts in a late Monday speech, Roque said the President held a command conference with military and police leaders, and could have issued a directive there.
The government will recognize the heroism of the state troops killed in the attack and give aid to their families, he said.
