Petitioner,
-versus-
Corpus
CHIEF OF POLICE OF MANILA
POLICE SUPERINTENDENT CARLOS AGITO,
Respondent.
x--------------------------------------x
PETITION
Petitioner, thru counsel, unto this Honorable Court
respectfully avers that:
1. Petitioner and respondent are both of age, and
residents of No.1 Espana Blvd., Manila and No. 5
Malate, Manila respectively;
2. Petitioner, in whose behalf this application is being
made, is actually restrained of his liberty by the
respondent at Camp Crame, City of Manila;
3. This restraint of liberty of the petitioner consists of the
following:
On June 25, 2015, the President of the Philippines
declared Martial Law throughout the country and pursuant
thereto, a task force of 10 police officers headed by Police
Superintendent Carlos Agito arrested Senator Christian
Corbe for rebellion and detained him at Camp Crame Manila,
where he was held incommunicado. At the time Senator
Christian Corbe was arrested, he was in the Senate
conducting a hearing on peace and order and inquiring as to
the legal and factual basis of the proclamation of Martial Law
pursuant to Sec.18 Art. VII of the 1987 Constitution. More
than 3 days had passed since the arrest and detention of
Senator Christian Corbe without the latter being judicially
charged in court for rebellion, thereby rendering his
detention illegal. Efforts to visit Senator Christian Corbe
proved futile as respondents and those guarding him
prevented petitioner and his lawyers to seek and talk to him.
