EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 912 - REPEALING
SECTIONS 3, 4 AND 5 OF PRESIDENTIAL DECREE NO. 1745 DATED NOVEMBER 10,
1980, AS AMENDED
WHEREAS, Section 1 of Presidential Decree
No. 1745, dated November 20, 1980 as amended by Presidential Decree No.
1747, dated December 4, 1980, and Executive Order No. 690, dated May
11, 1981 grants, under certain conditions, amnesty to any person who on
or before November 20, 1980 has been arrested and/or investigated for,
charged with or convicted of simple illegal possession of firearm,
ammunition and explosives provided, that he shall apply for such
amnesty not later than December 31, 1981.
WHEREAS, Section s 3, 4 and 5 of the same Presidential Decree as amended
by Presidential Decree No. 1747, dated December 4, 1980, Executive
Order No. 690, dated May 11, 1981, Executive Order No. 758, dated
December 31, 1981 and Executive Order No. 861, dated December 22, 1982
bestow, among others, upon a possessor of any firearm, ammunition or
explosives the privileges of surrendering up to December 31, 1983 these
articles to government authorities without incurring any criminal
liability therefor and be granted license to possess the same if
qualified under existing laws, policies and rules and regulations.
WHEREAS, because of the aforementioned privileges under Section s 3, 4
and 5 of the Presidential Decree No. 1745, as amended, it has been
noted that many unscrupulous individuals, particularly those with a
predisposition to violence, have taken advantage of the lenient and
liberal policy of the government on the surrender of firearms without
incurring criminal liability therefor by carrying these firearms
outside of residence for purposes other than the actual surrender of
these firearms to the authorities, using as a mantle of defense and
protection the aforestated lenient and liberal policy on firearms,
ammunition and explosives;
WHEREAS, it has become imperative to immediately terminate the
licensing of loose firearms to safeguard the peace and tranquility of
the people.
NOW, THEREFORE, I FERDINAND E. MARCOS, President of the Philippines, by
virtue of the powers vested in me by law, do hereby order that:
Section 1.
Sec. 2.
Done in the City of Manila this
27th day of September in the Year of Our Lord Nineteen Hundred and
Eighty-Three.
