Senate President Aquilino “Koko” Pimentel III (left) gestures as he presides over the special joint session of Congress on the extension of Proclamation 216, declaring Martial Law in the whole of Mindanao, on Saturday, July 22, 2017. President Rodrigo Duterte has requested Congress to extend the proclamation, which was prompted by the attack of the Maute Group on Marawi City last May 23, 2017 that has left hundreds of people dead and thousands of citizens displaced from their homes.
