CBCP to Aquino: Grant amnesty to ‘common’ prisoners too
10/14/2010 | 09:14 AM

After granting amnesty to over 300 soldiers involved in three destabilization attempts against the previous administration, President Benigno Aquino III was asked to give similar attention to “common prisoners" languishing in jails for a long time.

The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) Episcopal Commission on Prison Pastoral Care said many common prisoners are even “more deserving" of amnesty than the mutineers.

“I pray that amnesty and executive clemency, the power of the president, will be used particularly to a lot of so-called common criminals who have languished and are still languishing in jail. There are many of them," CBCP ECPPC executive director Rodolfo Diamante said in an article posted Thursday on the CBCP news site.

Diamante noted some 96,000 inmates across the country are languishing behind bars with “hundreds" already recommended by the Board of Pardons and Parole for amnesty.

On Tuesday, Aquino said he has signed a proclamation granting amnesty to soldiers involved in destabilization attempts against the administration of former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.

Those included in the amnesty grant are soldiers and officers involved in:

•the July 2003 Oakwood mutiny;

•February 2006 Marines standoff, and the

•November 2007 Manila Peninsula takeover.

However, Diamante said Aquino should not imitate what the previous administration had done, giving of amnesty only to high-profile offenders such as convicted rapist and former Rep. Romeo Jalosjos, convicted killer Claudio Teehankee Jr., and former President Joseph Estrada.

“If he wants change and he talks of change, he should change the system. It will have to start on him on how he exercises that kind of privilege (granting the amnesty)," he said.

“It’s about time that he gave attention to those who committed the so-called common crime," he added.

so trillanes 2 ang atraso niyan. bakit may amnesty???

nagtanim ng bomba. tapos tumakas sa hearing na naging sanhi ng Manila Penn incident.

alam na natin kung gaano kabobo mga botante. iniluklok si Honasan tapos si Trillanes tapos si Noynoy.

(si GMA mejo exception kasi lumabas lang tunay na kulay after manalo)

Pano kaya kung dumeretso sila Trillanes sa Malacanang at pinagraratrat sina GMA, FG at el, ganyan parin kaya reaction ng mga tao rito

[sgt_taga]

^ yes, for me. a crime is a crime, no matter how you put it.

Maling klaseng leader ito si noynoy.

Gumaganti lang sya kay gloria arroyo kaya nya binigyan ng amnesty yung mutineers.

Presidente ka na iniisip mo pa rin si gloria.

[fourtheboys96]

madaming obessed kay GMA including si noynoy.

two wrongs doesnt make a right.
