    Martial Law

    Is it true what I hear? If so, how will it affect the exchange rates?

    Only in Mindanao for the next 60 days and it doesn't seem to affect life in Davao at the moment, no change apart from a few extra police and army on the streets



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    Exchange rates, well that's a new one on me, I must admit.

    Well if the Phils becomes more unstable, presumably we'll be getting more pesos for our pounds ?

    The President is murmuring about introducing Martial Law to the whole country now... though I've personally had the impression that that was his desire all along.

    We have to realise Marawi City has a 99+% population of Muslims, so again its in there own Backyard that people are causing unrest, as for it being Martial law in the whole of Mindanao surely its easier to police when it covers the whole of Mindanao, rather than just a small section such as Marawi city, we are all aware this is not the only city on Mindanao thats predominantly Muslim, and we know what there aims are..
    As for bringing in Martial Law, what else is Duterte supposed to do, the alternative is to let them get on with it, thats been happening far too long, and we see the results of that Worldwide..

    There is a young chap on Facebook over there saying he is happy to see martial law in where he lives. It's very interesting what he is saying. If it means being safe for the people then do it, the only people who will complain are the ones who would like to cause trouble.

    No one is worried about it here, everything going on as usual, good thing is there is a price freeze on basic food stuffs.
