(INTELLIHUB) — A Philippine Air Force memo leaked last Friday reveals how the government is preparing for the strict implementation of martial law powers as some type of event unannounced to the general public may be approaching.
The memo instructed Air Force personnel to “prepare for strict implementation” of an “extensive enhanced community quarantine” an be ready to be the “the over-all in-charge along roads and highways.”
An Air Force spokesman addressed the leak by saying that the martial law-style order is only a preparatory move.
This comes after the increased civil defense of current quarantine orders instated by Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte.

The Air Force is taking the document leak seriously because such an internal order may contain classified information.
Coinsadentally, the U.S. military has also been training in the region for civil unrest.
