LIFTING THE SUSPENSION OF THE PRIVILEGE OF HABEAS CORPUS THROUGHOUT THE PHILIPPINES.

WHEREAS, the privilege of the writ of habeas
corpus as regards the crimes of sedition, insurrection or rebellion, and all
other crimes and offenses committed in furtherance or on the occasion thereof,
or incident thereto, or in connection therewith, was suspended throughout the
country under Proclamation No. 210 dated October 22, 1950;

WHEREAS, the suspension of the privilege of the
writ of habeas corpus has been lifted in a number of provinces where conditions
of peace and order have so improved as to warrant such action; and

WHEREAS, the dangers to the national security and
the; disturbances to public order and safety which impelled the total suspension
of the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus have been minimized, if not
altogether eliminated, attested by the statement to that effect of the Chief of
Staff, Armed Forces of the Philippines, who recommends that the privilege of
said writ be now fully restored throughout the country;

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Elpidio Quirino, president of
the Philippines, by virtue of the powers vested in me bylaw do hereby lift the
suspension of the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus in all provinces and
cities of the Philippines where up to this date such suspension has not been
lifted, and, accordingly, I do hereby revoke Proclamation No. 210, dated
October 22, 1950.

In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand
and caused the seal of the Republic of the Philippines to be affixed.

Done in the City of Manila, this 24th day of
November, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and fifty-three, and of the
Independence of the Philippines, the eighth.

ELPIDIO QURINO
President of the Philippines
