President Benigno Simeon "Noynoy" Aquino III signs amnesty to show reconciliation to over 300 military officers and personnel — including detained Senator Antonio Trillanes IV. I appreciated what his doing right now but it doesn't mean that I've trust him. Actually, I've never trust any politician in the Philippines unless they prove them selves that they are worthy. Some politician just took our trust for their own benefits. We will have to wait and see what history tells us about PNoy.

"I signed it (the proclamation) yesterday (Monday)," Aquino said in a chance interview on Tuesday morning.
Proclamation No. 50 grants amnesty to all active and former personnel of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) and their supporters, who committed acts or omissions punishable under the Revised Penal Code, the Articles of War or other special laws related to the following:
the July 27, 2003 Oakwood Mutiny;
the February 2006 Marines Stand-Off;
the November 29, 2007 Manila Peninsula Incident, and/or
related incidents "provided that amnesty shall not cover crimes against chastity and other crimes committed for personal ends."
The approval of both chambers of Congress, however, is needed before Proclamation 50 could take effect, Aquino said.
