To whom does the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus apply?
The suspension of the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus is limited in its scope. It only applies to individuals who are judicially charged with rebellion. It also covers offenses that are directly connected with an ongoing invasion. This limitation prevents the arbitrary detention of people for unrelated or minor crimes. Article VII Section 18 1987 Philippine Constitution “The suspension of the privilege of the writ shall apply only to persons judicially charged for rebellion or offenses inherent in or directly connected with the invasion.” 03-Feb-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
