Panelo floats COVID-19 'invasion' as basis to declare martial law

Chief Presidential Legal Counsel Salvador Panelo floated Monday a novel — and likely controversial — legal theory that President Rodrigo Duterte can declare martial law on the basis of “invasion” of the novel coronavirus.

He said during his commentary show on state broadcaster People’s Television that the term “invasion” has changed throughout the years and can also mean “the entry of a disease and the transfer from one area to another.” “There is an actual invasion of the coronavirus disease, which is pandemic. It threatens, in fact, the entire country, soWhile saying that the definition of “invasion” evolved over time, Panelo conceded that the framers of the Constitution only considered it to mean the forced entry of foreign military forces into the country.

The Constitution provides that the president may only declare martial law in case of invasion or rebellion, when the public safety requires it. President Rodrigo Duterte earlier threatened to declare martial law due to the supposed lawlessness of communist rebels.

Kapag napaoakinggan ko itong si PANELO, nasa sabunutan ko n sarili ko sa frustration dahil Hindi ko sya masabunutan.

Corona virus, or better known as the CCPvirus is Chinese so that makes Duterte and his Cabal, which includes Panelo guilty of treason for allowing all those Chinese POGO workers and tourists in from Jan. 2020.

COVID daw invasion. POGO daw BPO. Putanginang mga best and brightest

Sa sobrang yalino nagiging tanga..

The best and the brightest in DDS admin?

Dami ng spokesperson. Hindi nakakatulong. Pwede isa nalang magsalita for the phil govt

Why not use the 'invasion' by the Chinese POGOs and their military in the WPS? Oops hindi pala invasion yun- 'invitation' pala ni PRRD.

They always tell the public to not panic and we should listen but when they panic martial law is the answer!

Here is proof that lawyers have no soul.

Haha... Use invasion in the sentence lang ang peg! Or BDO lang na 'We Find Ways'? Shopee Voucher? Claim here:

A debilitating brain disease just invaded Panelo's mind....call out the military....

Mukhang ewan talaga tong gobyerno na to. Lahat na lang ay gustong idikit sa Martial Law.

Para-paraan talaga maisingit lang ang Martial Law e naku wag na mahiya. Atat na atat talaga mag declare ng Martial Law tong Duterte govt

Ano na naman pinagsasabi mong butiki ka

Pinagsasabi nitong butiki na 'to?
