Marawi City deputy mayor arrested on rebellion charges
CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY – Security forces have arrested Wednesday the vice mayor of Marawi City in the southern Philippine province of Lanao del Sur after he was accused of rebellion, an army spokesman said.
Captain Clint Antipala, of the 1st Infantry Division, said Arafat Salic was arrested by soldiers and policeman before noontime at Marawi City Hall. He said Salic is included in the government list of people facing rebellion charges.
“Salic is included in the Office of the Martial Law Administrator Arrest Order dated September 4, 2017 for rebellion case,” Antipala said, quoting a report by Colonel Romeo Brawner, commander of the 103rd Infantry Brigade.
He said Salic is now under “custodial” debriefing and underwent a routine medical check-up and will be handed over to the police. Over 300 people, mostly alleged members or supporters of pro-ISIS and terrorist groups are included in the arrest order.
Brigadier General Roberto Ancan, commander of 1st Infantry Division, lauded Salic’s capture.
“The 1st Infantry Division supports the Commander-in-Chief’s declaration of Martial Law. We will perform our duties in accordance with the law, respecting the rights of every individual and their properties. We take pride of the overwhelming support of the constituents and stakeholders in our area of responsibility as we perform our mandate to serve the people and secure the land,” Ancan said.
In May 2017, President Rodrigo Duterte placed the whole of Southern Philippines under a state of martial law following the deadly siege of Marawi by pro-ISIS militants. Secretary Ernesto Abella, then Presidential spokesman, announced Duterte’s decision in a news conference from Moscow where the Filipino leader was on a four-day visit.
The martial law – now extended until end of the year - covers Mindanao Island and the provinces of Basilan, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi with Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana as martial law administrator. With the declaration of martial rule, police and military can now do searches without a warrant, arrest suspected terrorists and suspend the writ of habeas corpus, among others. (Mindanao Examiner)

2 soldiers gunned down in Cotabato City
COTABATO CITY – Two army soldiers were gunned down Friday morning in Cotabato City in southern Philippines despite an extended martial law in the troubled region.
The duo – both in civilian clothes - was travelling on a motorcycle when gunmen ambushed them along Sinsuat Avenue at around 9 in the morning.
The soldiers were instantly killed in the attack. The 6th Infantry Division did not release any report on the twin murders, but gun attacks here are not uncommon.
Photos of the slain soldiers were circulated on Facebook and have identified them as Private First Class Nerwin Delfin and Michael Haudar, who were members of the 37th Infantry Battalion. Their unit is deployed in Maguindanao province. Witnesses said motorcycle gunmen attacked the duo without warning.
It was unknown if the killings were perpetrated by rebels or pro-ISIS militants fighting for a separate state in Mindanao where President Rodrigo Duterte imposed martial law since last year following a deadly siege by militants in Marawi City.
The murders occurred ahead of the referendum next month of the controversial Bangsamoro Organic Law which. If ratified, it would replace the current Muslim autonomous region and would be ruled by the rebel group Moro Islamic Liberation Front which signed an interim peace deal with Manila in 2014.

Pinoys favor ‘Revolutionary Government’- Survey
SIXTY PERCENT of Filipinos would support President Rodrigo Duterte if he decided to declare a revolutionary government to carry out his reform agenda, according to a latest nation-wide opinion poll conducted by SurveyNgBayan.
Considering that the question of declaring a revolutionary government has been publicly debated for some time, the pollster, presented this question once again squarely to the people nationwide: If Duterte is forced to declare a revolutionary government to fulfill his promises, would you support him? The question set in Tagalog (Kung mapilitang itatag ni DU30 ang Revolution Gov. para matupad ang mga pangako nya payag kba?) for the clear understanding of people at all levels was transmitted via SMS to 300,000 subscribers of Philippine-based mobile phones.
The poll targets were selected randomly from the pollster's databank of 182.5 million Philippine-based mobile phone numbers. The question sought Yes or No answer with the age, gender and the location of the respondent. A total of 3,255 raw responses came by the end of the one-week period from October 1-7 and the clean response set after deduping and purging for nonsense replies came to 1,841. Among them, 1,117 said “Yes”, and 652 said “No”.
The survey has a 99 percent level of confidence and a 3 percent margin of error. SurveyNgBayan had posed this question to the people nationwide previously just before Duterte took office as president on June 30, 2016, then in August 2016, after he was in office barely two months, and again in November 2017 when the public clamor for a revolutionary government was at its height.
In June 2016, the support for a revolutionary government was only 43 percent, but after the general public watching their new president for some two months, and also the activities of his opponents, the support of a Duterte-led revolutionary government climbed to 67 percent.
Over a year later, in November 2017, amid a persistent clamor for a revolutionary government, 71 percent of the people tuned in favor of it. Developments since then—particularly the president stating publicly that he did not encourage such a move, and the public attention shifting towards the mid-term election due next year—the mass support for a revolutionary government has somewhat waned, but still holding at a significant 60 percent.
Several reasons can be attributed to this continuing popular support for a Duterte-led revolutionary government. Among them:
• The Glenn Chong revelations of problems in the electoral system. Certain quarters have claimed that flaws in the electoral system provide the environment for declaring a revolutionary government which can tackle this problem and install an impartial election commission.
• The elite resistance to restructuring the government into a federal system.
• The need to reform the judiciary to make it impossible for the monied class to manipulate the courts for its advantage, and make the judiciary function fairly for the benefit of all and deliver justice fast.
SurveyNgBayan is composed of Filipino social researchers based in the Philippines and the United States, as well as other research and information service professionals. It employs a unique method of researching to measure the true pulse of public opinion.
Relying on its databank of 182.5 million Philippine-based mobile phone numbers that can give access to every nook and cranny of the archipelago, and it randomly picks a survey set and sends its question(s) to all of them by SMS blasting. Thus, the pollster gives, in effect, virtually every mobile user in the country an equal chance to participate in its surveys. (Mindanao Examiner)
