7. After Martial Law was declared over Mindanao, police officers arrested Jose Maria without any warrant while shopping for groceries at a supermarket in Mindanao.

The police officers countered that the declaration of Martial Law suspended the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus , and as a result, they could effect warrantless arrests. Is the contention of the police officers correct? Explain briefly. (5 points)
