In the Philippines, there is a fierce battle between the government forces and Islamic armed forces supporting the Islamic state in Malawi, a southern Mindanao city. After the declaration, the martial law was extended to the end for the sweeping operation.

The Presidential Office of the Philippines revealed on the 10th that President Duterte decided not to extend martial law, and it was expected to be lifted at the end.

The martial law has been extended three times so far, and it has been criticized by some lawmakers that human rights violations will become normal because it becomes possible to restrain and search for a person without a warrant.

On the other hand, after the referendum held in Mindanao in January, a temporary self-government government by Islamic inhabitants was established and security has been restored. There was a voice calling for the release of the decree.

As Duterte President has achieved certain results in the eradication operation, he has taken the lead toward the reconstruction and economic development of Mindanao Island, which was damaged by the battle.
