Corazon Aquino.  She was not into it because of the power.  The government is very corrupt and that leads to mistrust that lead to the insurgency.

Many reasons, including corruption, business policies, foreign investment restrictions, Muslim insurgencies and more.

A disaster declaration is usually made for the purpose of letting the public know something is going on and to be legally eligible for state/federal aid.\n\nA State of Emergency is declared by an executive such as a governor or president.  In this case an executive authority is granted additional powers under the law to deal with the emergency.  For example in a SOE a president or governor is authorized to use military assets, enforce martial law, and/or curfews and so on for a limited time.  This is because when there is an emergency it requires immediate response and flexibility that legislation is incapable of.

It is when a mayor, governer, or President oders the military to act as police officers to disrupt riots, looting, and violence in order to gain control of a situation that has gotten out of control. Sort of like New Orleans after the Hurricanes. But, the miiltary did not have arrest powers. They were there as a watch dog to discourage violence and looting.

Hmmm, not sure what you mean about resolution, but one of the means by which the US gov't has proposed to use in case of bird flu is martial law.  Everyone will be restricted to their houses until the virus has died off.  \n\nThe Bush administration was criticized for such a plan, and I'm not sure how effective it would be, but there's one plan for you!

Well, the first reason was French Revolution. When the notice came to America most people said that it´s time to establish those principles in Latin America.\n\nAnd later, the Napoleon´s conquest of Spain.

It has been proven to the satisfaction of many people, but there are some that are extremely hard to convince, for a variety of reasons. These reasons are mainly faith based, in that they have faith in the government, and do not want to believe that their government could murder three thousand of its own citizens. They will all wake up in due time, probably when the country is under Martial law, with curfews imposed, and they become prisoners in their own house.\nThat's for the lucky ones of course. The less lucky will become prisoners in the 600 or so concentration camps which have been built around the country, and are already manned and waiting for their presence.

Why? Because the country that installed it was and still is corrupt. America created the Philippine government after the Spanish-American War. Therefor the Philippine government picked up it's bad habits. You know the old saying the apple doesn't fall far from the tree? Well there you go.

Should martial law be instated, it would be used to detain illegal immigrants, before being extrodited back to their own country.  I cant help but feel they would come in handy should another terrorist attack occur . . .

None (supposedly), but Gen. Orders No. 5 and 6 made it appear that Martial Law was declared, including suppression of press freedom, among others.

The Philippines has been on a political struggle for a long time, almost everybody from different political groups wants to be the ruling party, so the result is....what we have now in the philippines,slow economic growth,poverty and all sorts. Under PD1017, political crisis might be resolve,no rallies and demos,no armed struggle or be arrested, i think this is what my country needs now a harder implementation of rules so as to tame down these politicians with vested interest.

By Definition martial law is "When a military body must take control of the civilian populace for a limited time period". Martial law is when the army or other military force seizes control of a non militarised area either by force of by politics. The British army has done this itself a few times during history but only for brief snatches of time. Im a soldier so i have been involved once with this action and its generally a time of anarchy, social disorder and political turmoil
