EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 65 - REPEALING
PRESIDENTIAL DECREE NO. 90 AND LETTER OF INSTRUCTIONS NO. 50
WHEREAS,
Presidential Decree No. 90 which declares unlawful and penalizes
rumor-mongering and spreading of false information, was issued under
martial law purportedly to curb the said acts which are allegedly
insidious means of disrupting the peace, order and tranquility
throughout the country;
WHEREAS, Letter of Instruction No. 50 was issued to provide guidelines
for the implementation thereof;
WHEREAS, instead of promoting the said objective, the aforesaid
issuances in effect paved the way for violations of the freedom of
expression of the people;
WHEREAS, notwithstanding the repeal of the National Security Code which
incorporated the aforesaid issuances and the evident inconsistency
thereof with the mandate to make effective the guarantees of the rights
and freedoms of the Filipino people under Proclamation No. 3, dated
March 25, 1986, doubts still exist on whether or not the said issuance
are still in force and effect;
WHEREAS, to erase the said doubts, there is a need to repeal expressly
Presidential Decree No 90 and Letter of Instructions No. 50.
NOW, THEREFORE, I CORAZON C. AQUINO, President of the Philippines, do
hereby order the repeal of Presidential Decree No. 90 entitled
“DECLARING UNLAWFUL RUMOR-MONGERING AND SPREADING FALSE INFORMATION”
and Letter of Instructions No. 50, providing guidelines for the
implementation of said Decree.
This Order shall take effect immediately.
Done in the City of Manila,
this 21st day of November in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred and
eighty-six.
