LIFTING THE SUSPENSION OF THE PRIVILEGE OF THE WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS IN CERTAIN AREAS OF THE COUNTRY.

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 has been suspended
throughout the country under Proclamation No. 210, dated October 22, 1950; and

WHEREAS, it now appears that the conditions of
peace and order in some sections of the country have so improved as to warrant
the lifting of the suspension of the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus in
said areas;

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Elpidio Quirino, President of
the Philippines, by virtue of the powers vested in me by law, do hereby lift
the suspension of the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus in the
following provinces: Palawan, Bohol, Romblon, Masbate, Cebu, Leyte, Samar,
Zamboanga, Misamis Oriental, Misamis Occidental, Lanao, Bukidnon, Agusan,
Surigao and Sulu Archipelago.

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 3rd day of
February, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and fifty-one, and of the
Independence of the Philippines, the fifth.

ELPIDIO QURINO
