WHEREAS, the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus as regards the crimes of sedition, insurrection or rebellion and all other crimes and offenses committed in furtherance or on the occasion thereof, or incident thereto, or in connection therewith has been suspended throughout the country under Proclamation No. 210 dated October 22, 1950; and

WHEREAS, it now appears that the conditions of peace and order in the Provinces of Antique, Capiz, Cotabato, Davao and Iloilo have so improved as to warrant the lifting of the suspension of the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus in said provinces;
