Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana, the administrator of martial law in Mindanao, has ordered the arrest of 125 members of the ISIS-inspired Maute group who laid siege to Marawi City.

Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) spokesperson Deputy Director Ferdinand Lavin said Lorenzana issued the arrest order on Monday for staging rebellion.

Of the 125 Maute members, Lavin said the government has identified the full names of 95 members while 30 carry aliases.

Lavin said the NBI, as well as the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the Philippine National Police, will help in the arrest.

Under the 1987 Constitution, a person who is arrested or detained while martial law is in effect must be charged in court within three days. Otherwise, he must be set free.

R. Tiglao Exposed LTO Records Showing Aquino Never Bought or Sold a Porsche

Veteran columnist Rigoberto Tiglao exposed the Land Transportation Office (LTO) records of former President Benigno Aquino III showing that he never bought or sold an expensive Porsche car. The LTO records proved that the former President did not sold his Porsche 911 Carrera car which he claimed he bought for P5 million. The controversial Porsche car of the former President made headlines just months into his presidency but he explained that he bought the luxury car with the proceeds he got when he sold his BMW.
