[G.R. No. 147818.May 10, 2001]

IN RE: PETITION FOR JUDICIAL REVIEW OF THE PROCLAMATION OF A STATE OF REBELLION IN THE NCR

EN BANC

Gentlemen:

Quoted hereunder, for your information, is a resolution of this Court dated MAY 10, 2001.

G.R. No. 147818(In Re: Petition for Judicial Review of the Sufficiency of the Factual Basis for the Proclamation of a State of Rebellion in the National Capital Region; Gregorio Honasan vs. the Honorable Executive Secretary Renato de Villa, the Honorable Chief of the Philippine National Police, Director-General Leandro Mendoza, and the Honorable Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces of the Philippines, General Diomedio Villanueva.)

Before the Court is an "Urgent Motion to Resolve Prayer for Temporary Restraining Order and/or Preliminary Injunction" filed by petitioner.

It appearing, however, that the basic petition and the present motion raise substantially the same allegations, issues and arguments as those presented in G.R. No. 147780 (Lacson v. Secretary Perez), G.R. 147781 (Santiago v. Reyes), G.R. No. 149999 (Lumbao v. Secretary Perez) and G.R. No. 147810 (LDP v. Department of Justice), the Court RESOLVES to dispense with the Comment it earlier required respondents to file and, instead, to DISMISS the petition and DENY the motion for the same reasons given in the Court's Resolution in said cases promulgated today, May 10, 2001, but consistent and congruent with their undertaking in said four cases, respondents, and their agents, or any other person acting in their behalf, are enjoined from arresting petitioner herein without the required judicial warrant for all acts committed in relation to or in connection with the May 1, 2001 siege of Malaca�ang.So ordered.(Vitug, Kapunan, Pardo and Gutierrez, JJ. maintain their Separate Opinions in the four aforecited cases.Quisumbing, Buena, Santiago and De Leon, JJ. on leave)

Very truly yours,

(Sgd.) LUZVIMINDA D. PUNO
