Significance

His remarks follow congress's controversial renewing of martial law throughout the island until December 31.

Impacts

Legal challenges to the martial law extension are likely, but probably will fail.
Greater public scrutiny of martial law could make the military cautious, undermining martial law's effectiveness.
Counter-radicalisation and economic development will also be needed to combat terrorism and extremism.
