00:00The night is deep, but the tension is high around the National Assembly in South Korea last night.
00:12A loud noise was heard, accompanied by the flying of military helicopters.
00:17A building collapsed in the National Assembly, and soldiers broke into it, the Parliamentary Building.
00:22The windows were broken, but the officials of the Parliament did not stop, and the security forces blocked it.
00:29They used fire extinguishers.
00:33Outside the Parliament Building, there were people protesting.
00:37The tension was rooted in the declaration of the Emergency Martial Law of South Korean President Yun Suk-yool.
00:43According to him, this is a move to protect South Korea from the communist forces of North Korea.
00:50He even accused the opposition of hostaging the parliamentary process to destroy the country.
00:56But the Martial Law of Yun did not last long.
00:59On the other side of the barricades, the lawmakers gathered to protest.
01:03Early this morning, they voted to cancel the Martial Law Declaration.
01:08According to their law, Yun could not do anything but to repeal the Martial Law, only for 6 hours, after he declared it.
01:15According to our embassy in South Korea, the situation is back to normal after a few hours of Martial Law.
01:23The Department of Foreign Affairs also did not prohibit the visit to South Korea.
01:29Because of this travel agency, the travel of those who have a booking is continuous this December.
01:33Yes, we messaged our client about it, that it's okay, it's safe to travel. It's safe to go to South Korea now.
01:41Despite this, our embassy in South Korea instructed the Filipinos to be careful when traveling.
01:46We should avoid going to big public gatherings where we are not involved.
01:55According to the DFA, more than 60,000 Filipinos are currently working in South Korea.
02:01The government is not worried about their return if tensions rise.
02:06The DFA also did not raise the alert level for South Korea.
02:10We are not afraid, but you should understand that there are tensions in South Korea. That's a political situation.
02:18Despite Yun's return, he also declared Martial Law, which was called by the opposition to remove him from office.
02:24There were also protests to stop it.
02:27Candle Vigil also held tonight as a condemnation of Yun's actions.
02:33For GMA Integrated News, I am Joseph Morong, your Saksi.
