Raffy Tulfo to opposition: 'Puro puna at sisi sa militar, pero ang Maute hindi pinagbuntungan!'

“IST*PIDO, T*NGA, M*RON at TR*YDOR* This is what Raffy Tulfo described the lawmakers who opposed the 150-day extension of martial law in the whole island of Mindanao.

Tulfo, who monitored the joint session conducted by the 17th congress to discuss the extension of martial law noticed that most of the lawmakers who opposed the wish of the current administration only blamed the military for what happened in Marawi City.

“Kapansin-pansin na ilan sa mambabatas na nasa oposisyon– lalo na itong mga nasa party-list group, ay puro puna at sisi nila sa militar sa nangyayaring bakbakan sa Marawi at ang aksyon daw ng militar ang dahilan kung bakit lumalala ang kaguluhan doon.” Tulfo said in his Facebook post.

“Pero ni isa sa mga ISTUPIDONG ito wala man lang nagbuntong ng sisi sa Maute.” he added.

He also took a jab to one of the lawmakers who blamed the military for what happened to the Maranaos who evacuated to their homes because of the siege in Marawi.

“May isang T*NGA na isnisisi pa sa militar ang nangyayaring evacuation ng mga sibilyan sa Marawi at hindi sa Maute.”he said.

“At meron pa talagang isang M*RON na nagsabing kaya raw tumatagal ang gulo dahil may mga sibilyan ang di nagugustuhan ang ginagawang pambobomba ng militar sa grupo ng Maute at sumasanib sa Abu Sayyaf at Maute.”he added.

He believed that the opposition favored the Maute Terrorist Group than the military who sacrificed their life to destroy the groups who wanted to spread chaos in the whole island of Mindanao.

“Para sa mga TRAYDOR na ito lahat ng ginagawa ng ating militar para labanan ang mga terorista ay mali.” he said.

“Sadyang mga pulpol lang ba talaga ang mga ito o wala lang silang pagmamahal sa ating bayan at sa ating mga pobreng mamamayan!!!!” Raffy Tulfo added.< br style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" />
18 lawmakers stood up against the martial law extension in Mindanao, believing that the extension asked by the government might create some reason for the military to abuse their power.

One of the oppositors, Bayan Muna partylist Rep. Carlos Zarate said, “Huwag tayong maging bulag at bingi sa panawagan ng ating mga kababayang patuloy na nagdurusa sa evacuation centers, nahihintatakutan sa kanilang mga barangay at baryo, dahil sa karahasang militar at walang habas na pambobomba bunga ng Martial Law.

“Pangarap nilang makabalik sa kanilang mga tahanan at muling makapamuhay. Hindi ito mangyayari sa pagpapalawig ng Martial law sa Mindanao o saanmang panig ng bansa” he added.

261 lawmakers voted yes for Martial law, while 18 voted no.

But despite of some lawmakers who opposed the martial law, the majority of the 17th congress still voted in favor of the extension asked by the government.
