The appeals court said what was delegated to the military and the Department of National Defense was the implementation of amnesty, not the granting of amnesty itself. The appeals court agreed with the ruling of Makati RTC Judge Andres Soriano that affirmed the validity of Proclamation No. 572, saying: “There is nothing in the 1987 Constitution which prohibits the President to revoke the grant of a conditional amnesty if he finds that the grantee failed to comply with the conditions thereof.”“Proclamation No. 572 is a valid exercise by the President of his Constitutional power of control over all executive departments, bureaus, and offices.
It said bad faith could not be attributed to Trillanes for failure to present the original or at least a copy of his application for amnesty. The appeals court pointed out that, lamentable as it was that the document was lost, seven years had passed since the actual filing was made by Trillaes.
