Noy: Rebels who won't apply for amnesty will have to face the law
BANI, Pangasinan, Philippines – The soldiers who had tried to overthrow former president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo risk being convicted in court if they don’t avail of the Aquino administration’s amnesty program.
“I would assume that if they don’t avail of the amnesty, the wheels of justice will continue to move,” President Aquino told Palace and local reporters in an informal briefing here, where he distributed homes for victims of the May 2009 typhoon “Emong.”
Aquino made the pronouncement just as the Senate approved his amnesty proclamation a day after the chamber reprimanded executive officials for including the name of Sen. Gregorio Honasan in the list of candidates for amnesty.
Aquino reiterated that Malacañang had committed no blunder in its inclusion of Honasan’s name.
Executive Secretary Paquito Ochoa Jr. explained that the list came from the Department of Justice upon Congress’ requests.
“It’s unfortunate that there were a lot of questions about the list but first let me clarify that all of the lists we furnished were submitted in response to a request by both the House and the Senate,” Ochoa said.
“So what we did really was we gathered up all the lists of people against whom cases were filed in connection with the subject incidents, which means the Marine standoff, the Manila Peninsula incident and the Oakwood mutiny,” he added.
Ochoa insisted that the list would not be amended.
“That will be the (official) list. We believe that there should have been no confusion in the first place,” Ochoa said.
Help for *****g 43Ochoa also said he is open to having the *****g 43 freed before the start of the peace talks with the Communist Party of the Philippines-National Democratic Front.
“We can agree but that’s my personal opinion,” Ochoa told Senate reporters. The *****g 43 refers to the 43 militant health workers arrested in *****g, Rizal in the closing weeks of the Arroyo administration, allegedly for possession of explosives.
Chief Presidential Legal Counsel Ed de Mesa, who was with Ochoa at the Senate, said it’s up to the courts to decide on the *****g 43 case.
Honasan clearedJustice Undersecretary Francisco Baraan III, however, said Honasan had already been cleared of the charges based on a resolution issued by former Justice chief Raul Gonzalez and should not have been included in the list.
Baraan also denied reports that the list came from the DOJ.
In a press conference, he explained that a representative of Trillanes went to the DOJ and requested for a list of respondents in the Marines standoff.
“They requested for the list of respondents for record and legal purposes. The representative, a certain Mary Ann Villapando, was furnished a photocopy of the list. No other copy was given to the Palace or to anyone else,” Baraan clarified.
He said that if the list given to Trillanes had reached the Palace, the DOJ was not aware of it.
“The DOJ lso has no discretion as to who should be put in the list. They can ask for our records and we can just submit them,” he added.
Senate concurrenceAfter chiding Palace officials for the Honaan gaffe, senators approved yesterday Proclamation 75, citing the need to “open the doors to national reconciliation.”
The Senate concurred with the amnesty proclamation with 14 voting for it. The lone dissenting vote came from Sen. Joker Arroyo. Honasan abstained.
“Allowing those who may have committed unlawful acts in pursuit of their political beliefs the opportunity to return to the folds of the law, and become productive, beneficial and loyal members of society, opens the doors to national reconciliation,” Senate committee on peace, unification and reconciliation chairman Sen. Teofisto Guingona III said in his sponsorship speech.
“We at the Senate give our full recognition, deepest appreciation and utmost respect to the past and present members of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, who have dedicated their lives to defend this nation. If they have a legacy to leave behind, it would definitely be their courage and patriotism. These are the very virtues that every Filipino should espouse,” he added.
Sen. Arroyo, for his part, reprimanded the executive branch for lumping together mutineers and communist rebels in the same list.
“In the case of Sen. Honasan, it’s amusing but in the case of the CPP-NPA, that is unpardonable. It does dishonor to the military that they are lumped together,” he added.
“Amnesty is for reconciliation but what has happened is it has provoked dissension not reconciliation,” Arroyo said.
Honasan, for his part, said that Palace executives have assured the Senate that pending cases, including his own, would be swiftly acted upon by Justice Secretary Leila de Lima.
But presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda said Honasan’s case “is dismissible already because that is tantamount already to absence of due process.”
Lacierda said there were civilians and leftists in the list because when Sen. Franklin Drilon asked Ochoa if there was a pending case with the DOJ, it turned out that there was indeed a case.
Meanwhile, former president and now Pampanga Rep. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo welcomed the granting of amnesty to rebellious soldiers but warned that “recidivists” and “unrepentant offenders” might be emboldened to stage another attempt to overthrow the government.
