SHOW OF FORCE. Several soldiers and a few personnel carriers stay along the stretch of Davao City’s San Pedro Street on Monday, June 12 while the Independence Day flag raising ceremony is being held at the Rizal Park here. Military ground vehicles have become a mainstay in the city’s center, with some locals taking photos beside the armored vehicles since President Rodrigo Duterte declared the whole island of Mindanao under the state of Martial Law on May 23.
