EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 276 - AMENDING
REPUBLIC ACT NO. 1700, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE ANTI-SUBVERSION ACT
WHEREAS,
the government and the people are aware that public safety continues to
require a degree of capability on the part of the government to deal
adequately with elements who persist in endeavoring to destabilize and
ultimately overthrow the government by force, violence, deceit,
subversion or other illegal means, and to supplant and substitute the
existing political, social, economic and legal order with an entirely
new one whose form of government, systems of laws, concepts of
individual rights and precepts are based on teaching and beliefs other
than the democratic form of government;
WHEREAS, the Government had exerted every effort to effect
reconciliation among the rebel elements, on the one hand, and the
government, on the other, but these efforts have been frustrated by the
intransigence of these rebel elements who have instead intensified
ambuscades, raids, killings, arms snatching, illegal taxation and other
terrorist activities resulting in the loss of lives and serious
injuries to government officials and military/INP personnel and
innocent civilians and untold hardship to the Filipino people, notable
to which are the extortions perpetrated on lowly farmers and small
businessman and the spate of killing of policeman and soldiers in
Metropolitan Manila and its environs by members of the Sparrow Units of
the New People’s Army;
WHEREAS, for the effective campaign against insurgency and criminality,
it is imperative to provide strong legal measures in support of the
Armed Forces of the Philippines and law-enforcement agencies;
WHEREAS, Executive Order No. 167 has restored to force and effect
Republic Act No. 1700 as the law on subversion; and
WHEREAS, in order to effectively carry out the Government’s program to
adequately neutralize the threat of communist insurgency and to contain
the massive liquidation and assassination of public servants and
civilians, there is need to amend the provisions of Republic Act No.
1700 in order to make them practical, timely and truly efficacious.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, CORAZON C. AQUINO, President of the Philippines, by
virtue of the powers vested in me by the Constitution, do hereby order
the amendment of Republic Act No. 1700 as follows:
