A local cause-oriented group criticized the continuing implementation of martial law in Mindanao that, it alleged, has left thousands of lumad students displaced and their schools closed.

The Save Our Schools Network believed that the harrowing situation of lumad students, along with their families, will only worsen, especially now that most of the administration’s senatorial and congressional bets have won in the midterm elections.

Under Duterte’s martial rule, the SOS Network has documented 79 schools forcibly closed affecting 2,728 students. Aside from forcible closure of schools and displacement, SOS claimed that there are incidents where school children are killed by the military and paramilitary groups on mere allegation that they were members of New People’s Army .
