Crackdown on 'tambay' no prelude to Martial Law but President may declare it 'if necessary'--Imee Marcos

The Philippine National Police (PNP) crackdown on 'tambay' (loiterers) is not a step towards Martial Law but President Rodrigo Duterte may declare it 'if necessary,' according to Ilocos Norte Gov. Maria Imelda Josefa 'Imee' Marcos on Monday morning.

Marcos said in an ambush interview that it was unnecessary for President Rodrigo Duterte to delay the declaration of Martial Law if it was necessary.
