The Marawi siege and then the implementation of Martial Law shows the
hypermasculinity of the government, given that they soldiered and mustered the battle because
a raid conducted by the military in coordination with the Philippine National Police, After
residents of Marawi reported the presence of an armed group within their locale and after the
AFP verified the information, the military launched a "surgical operation" to capture Hapilon only
to stumble into an entire city of armed men( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Marawi).

The reason of the implementation of Martial Law by the president was to conduct a state
of war to the southern Philippines due to the Maute’s attacks in Marawi city. Making the city be
deemed by the president “City of Terrorists”. Though through this there has never been a case
of capture, arrest or charged with rebellion during the second extension of martial
law(https://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/opinion/duterte-martial-law-achieve-mindanao-
191230054020719.html). But after some time the on December 3, 2017, a Philippine army attacked a
remote village of Datal Bonglagon is South Cotabato. Killing eight people from the T’boli indigenous
community due to them being in the crossfire between the soldiers and the New People’s Army which is
a communist rebel group. With more cases such as journalists, environmentalists, local stations and
even a radio host were either gun downed or silenced targeted because of their work for going against
the corruption of the land.( http://www.minesandcommunities.org/article.php?a=12033).

The presidents implementation to control and manage the rebellions that are ongoing in the
state of Maguindanao, was a failure that even the drugs in the region was still operating and continuing
after the Martial Law. Not only did it achieved nothing but it made the problem worst for the populated
areas. The implementation of Martial Law was an act of hypermasculinity and would have been better of
by going to a route with a more feminine attribute to both hold and sustain the peace and prosperity
not only for the citizens but for the soldiers that could have saved and be saved if not for the act of
violence and excessive force to the region of Maguindanao
