LETTER OF INSTRUCTIONS NO. 4
The Secretary
Department of Foreign Affairs
Padre Faura, Manila
Pursuant to Proclamation No. 1081 dated Sept. 21, 1972, and in my
capacity as commander-in-chief of all armed forces of the Philippines
and in order to prevent the escape from the country of persons who are
known to be actively engaged or suspected to be actively engaged in a
criminal conspiracy to seize political and state power in the
Philippines and to take over the Government by force and violence the
extent of which has now assumed the proportion of an actual war against
our people and their legitimate Government, you are hereby ordered not
to issue travel papers of any kind such as passports and other like
documents to any citizens of the Philippines who may wish to depart
from the Philippines for any foreign country after the date of this
order except only to those citizens of the Philippines who are being
sent abroad in the service of the Government or to those citizens of
the Philippines who are members of the crew of any inter-ocean going
vessel or to those citizens of the Philippines who are member of the
crew of any commercial aircraft engaged in the international carriage
of persons or cargoes or both. In all such exceptional cases, care must
be exercised to fully identify the individual in whose favor such
travel documents or papers are to be issued.
This order shall remain effective for the duration of the present
national emergency or until otherwise ordered by me or by my duly
designated representative.
Done in the City of Manila,
this 22nd day of September, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred
and seventy-two.
