I have read a case (sorry,I forgot the citation) that says that the pardoning power of the President is beyond judicial review. Anyway, in that case, what was granted was a tax amnesty. I believe you distinguished the two in your article. Anyway, you might have heard about the recent certiorari case filed by Atty. Ernesto Francisco in the grant of pardon to Teehankee. DOJ sec Raul Gonzales said that one of the grounds why it should be dismissed outright is that the Court cannot review the pardon granted by the Executive based on the principle of separation of powers. Could you please enlighten me on this matter? If there is indeed grave abuse of discretion, can the court declare the pardon void? Can I ask you a question about pardon?

I registered a word press account just to reply to this blog post. I am new to wordpress and found it strange that I can make a post in your blog - I don't know. But I didn't click on the publish button anyway. The subject matter that you posted is clear and enlightening. Do you have any opinion as to why the President granted the pardon aside from the fact that she can? Thanks dannybuntu Hello, my name is danny garcia or dannybuntu.
