The Supreme Court has upheld the validity of the amnesty granted to former Senator Antonio Trillanes IV and ruled that the proclamation issued in 2018 by former President Rodrigo Duterte revoking it was unconstitutional.
President Benigno Aquino III granted amnesty to Trillanes and other military and police rebels and their supporters who were jailed for their roles in the July 2003 Oakwood Mutiny, the February 2006 Marines Standoff, and the November 2007 Manila Peninsula incident. “The Executive’s decision to revoke only Trillanes’ amnesty, notwithstanding the fact that the application forms of all the other amnesty grantees could similarly no longer be located, constituted a breach of his right to the equal protection of the laws,” the SC ruled.
