Statement of Senator Juan Miguel F. Zubiri on the declaration of Martial Law in Mindanao

We have to rally behind the President, our Commander-in-Chief. This is a time for unity and courage. The Philippines is no place for terrorists. We have to use all constitutional means to suppress lawlessness and, once and for all, eradicate terrorism from our land without disregarding the paramount safety of the civilian population.

As a Senator from Mindanao, I understand the President's frustration in dealing with armed groups across all regions. We should take this as a chance to finally disarm them and deal with sympathizers from the LGUs coddling these terrorists.

With the declaration of Martial Law in Mindanao, it is hoped that any threat to national security and public safety will be neutralized.
