Sa pagdeklara ng pangulo ng batas militar sa buong Mindanao, naging kaakibat na rin

nito ang usapin ng writ of habeas corpus. Pero ano nga ba ang ibig sabihin ng writ of
habeas corpus?
Nangangahulugan ang salitang 'habeas' sa Ingles na 'to have' at 'body' naman ang
salitang 'corpus'. Ibig sabihin, 'may katawan', ayon kay Atty. Marisol Anenias sa
programang Usapang de Campanilla ng DZMM.

Kapag naglabas ng writ of habeas corpus ang Korte Suprema, na siyang may
jurisdiksiyon sa mga petisyon ng writ na ito, inuutusan nito ang isang indibidwal o
opisyal ng gobyerno na may kustodiya sa isang tao na dalhin ito sa korte upang
mapagpasiyahan kung legal o hindi ang pagkakadetine nito. 
Kung ilegal ang pagkakadetine rito, kailangang pakawalan agad ang ikinulong. 
Sa madaling salita, pinoprotektahan ng writ of habeas corpus ang bawat mamamayan
mula sa mga ilegal na detensyon at mga pagkakaaresto nang walang ipinakikitang
'warrant of arrest'.
Hindi maaaring idetine ang tao nang higit sa tatlong araw kung hindi pa ito
nasasampahan ng kaso.
Ayon sa Bill of Rights ng 1987 Constitution, may karapatan ang lahat ng tao sa due
process at maaari lamang madetine kung may inisyu ang korte na warrant of arrest o
kung nahuling ginagawa ang krimen. May karapatan din ang lahat ng tao na mapalaya sa
detensyon kung naaayon sa batas.
Maaari lang suspendihin ng pangulo ang writ of habeas corpus sa loob ng 60 araw kung
may paglusob o rebelyon kung kinakailangan sa kaligtasan ng publiko.
Para mapalawig ang suspensyon, kailangang makakuha ang presidente ng karamihan sa
mga boto ng mga kongresista. Ang mga mambabatas ang magsasabi kung gaano katagal
mananatili ang suspensyon kapag magpatuloy ang paglusob o rebelyon.
Sa kasaysayan, sina dating pangulong Elpidio Quirino, Ferdinand Marcos, at Gloria
Macapagal-Arroyo ang presidenteng nakapag-suspende ng writ of habeas corpus. 
Habeas corpus

Mula sa Wikipediang Tagalog, ang malayang ensiklopedya

Ang habeas corpus[1] [bigkas: /hey-bi-yes kor-pus/], mula sa Latin: literal na "[Iniaatas namin] na

mapasaiyo ang katawan"[2] o "nasa iyo ang katawan"[3] ay isang salitang nangangahulugang atas o
utos ng hukuman sa kinauukulan na dalhin sa korte ang isang tao upang ipaliwanag kung bakit ipinipiit
ang isang tao. Isa sa mga karapatan ng isang tao ang makahingi ng tinatawag na "kasulatan ng utos ng
hukuman o kinauukulan," ang writ of habeas corpus sa Ingles, bilang pananggalang laban sa ilegal o
hindi makatarungang pagkakakulong sa bilangguan. Kaya, sa larangan ng Batas, isang kasulatan
ang habeas corpus na nag-uutos sa isang opisyal upang maipakita ang dahilan kung bakit ipiniit ang
isang tao.[3]

Nagmula ito sa maagang batas na Ingles upang maiwasan ang hindi makabatas na

pagpapakulong. Itinuturing itong isang haligi ng kalayaang sibil. Ayon sa Konstitusyon ng
Estados Unidos, hindi ito matatanggihan maliban na lamang sa mga kaso ng rebelyon o
panghihimagsik, ng paglusob, at kung nanganganib ang kaligtasan o seguridad ng publiko.[3]

MANILA, Philippines – The administration of President Rodrigo Duterte announced on
Tuesday, September 4, that he was revoking the amnesty granted to Senator Antonio Trillanes
IV "effective immediately."

Trillanes' amnesty was granted in 2010 by President Benigno Aquino III in connection with the
2003 Oakwood mutiny and the 2007 Manila Peninsula siege.

Here are some fact facts about amnesty.

What is amnesty?

Amnesty is a power granted to the President by the 1987 Constitution.

Under Section 19, Article VII of the Constitution, the President has the power to "grant amnesty
with the concurrence of a majority of all the Members of the Congress." This is on top of
related presidential powers such as granting reprieves, commutations, and pardons, and
remitting fines and forfeitures, after conviction by final judgment.

The President would sign and issue a proclamation announcing the amnesty. It may also
specify the terms of the amnesty, such as its coverage and its effects.

How is amnesty different from pardon?

Supreme Court cases like Barrioquinto vs. Fernandez (1949) and People vs. Casido (1997)

distinguished amnesty from pardon.
Amnesty is a public act granted by the President and should have Congress' concurrence,
while pardon is a private act "pleaded and proved by the person pardoned."

Amnesty may be "granted to classes of persons or communities who may be guilty of political
offenses, generally before or after the institution of the criminal prosecution and sometimes
after conviction." Meanwhile, pardon may be granted to a person after conviction.

Amnesty "looks backward and abolishes and puts into oblivion the offense itself" as if no
crime has been committed. Pardon, on the other hand, "looks forward and relieves the
offender from the consequences of an offense of which he has been convicted" but does not
automatically restore one's political rights (unless restored by the terms of pardon) and does
not absolve him or her from paying civil indemnity.

(Example Trillianes)
He was convicted because of the coup de te they did and was convicted but then ge tagaan ug amnestya
ni President Aquino but then abolished during the time of duterte.
