Majority Leader and Leyte Rep. Martin Romualdez said the Lower House will swiftly adopt four House resolutions concurring with presidential Proclamation Nos. 1090, 1091, 1092 and 1093 granting amnesty to members of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front , Moro National Liberation , Rebolusyonaryong Partido ng Manggagawa ng Pilipinas/Revolutionary Proletarian Army/Alex Boncayao Brigade and the Communist Terrorist Group , respectively.
“We are one with President Rody Duterte’s efforts to attain peace and reconciliation in the country. We recognize this crucial need to accept the request of former combatants for amnesty so we could further stabilize our country and move towards healing, reconciliation, and reintegration,” Romualdez said.
The presidential amnesty will extinguish any criminal liability for acts committed in pursuit of political beliefs, without prejudice to the grantee’s civil liability for injuries or damages caused to private persons whose right to be indemnified is fully recognized herein.
