LETTER OF INSTRUCTIONS NO. 5
The Secretary
Department of Justice
Manila
Pursuant to Proclamation No. 1081 dated Sept. 21, 1972, and in my
capacity as commander-in-chief of all the 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 and
all subordinate officials under you are hereby ordered not to issue any
police of immigration clearance to any citizen 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 passengers or cargoes or both. In all such
exceptional cases, care must be exercised to fully identify the
individual in whose favor such police or immigration clearance is to be
issued.
This order shall remain effectively for the duration of the present
national emergency or until otherwise ordered by me or by my designated
representative.
Done in the City of Manila,
this 22nd day of September, in the year of Our Lord, nineteen hundred
and seventy-two.
