review.
Petitioner's main argument is that the President may
grant executive clemency only in criminal cases, based on
Article VII, Section 19 of the Constitution which reads:
"I am also against this provision which will again chip more
powers from the President. In case of other criminals convicted in
our society we extend probation to them while in this case, they
have already been convicted and we offer mercy. The only way we
can offer mercy to them is through this executive clemency
extended to them by the President. If we still close this avenue to
them, they would be prejudiced even worse than the murderers
and the more vicious killers in our society xxx."
