Newly appointed PCOO Assistant Secretary Mocha Uson, also known to be President Duterte's passionate supporter, posted a short interview with the President on her Facebook early morning of Wednesday.
On the video, President Duterte expressed he was able to convey everything he has to say to President Vlademir Putin even if his trip was cut short and that he was happy about it.
Mocha Uson asked the President's message to his countrymen.
"Do not be too scared. I'm going home. I'm cutting my visit here to be with my countrymen and I will deal with the problem once I arrive. But let me just tell everybody that I have declared Martial Law for Mindanao. How long? Well, if it would take a year to do it then we'll do it. If is over within a month, I'll be happy. Pero ang Martial Law ay Martial law ha? So kayong mga kababayan ko, you have experienced Martial Law, it would not be any different than what the President Marcos did. I'll be harsh. I was asked one time it was during the campaign doon sa La Salle, I was asked how I would deal with terrorism. I said I would be harsh and sinabi ko nga sa lahat do not force my hand into it. I have to do it to preserve the Republic of the Philippines and of the Filipino people."
