It would perhaps be educational for everybody else who seems to agree that Martial Law was not the best idea if Marcos loyalists — many of whom were born after the dictator fled the country in disgrace — would share their sources.

Makes as much sense as declaring Martial Law in Maguindanao over what ought to have been a straightforward investigation. The Ampatuans just might be able to paint themselves as underdogs here.
