Filipino blogger Raissa Robles made an interesting discovery on Proclamation 1959 (PDF document), the document that established martial law in Maguindanao.
But RA 6986 happens to be “An Act establishing a high school in Barangay Dulop, municipality of Dumingag, province of Zamboanga del Sur, to be known as the Dulop High School, and appropriating funds therefore.”
Justice Secretary Agnes Devanadera has admitted the “clerical error”:
“Let me first announce a correction in our Proclamation No. 1959. There is a clerical error on the third ‘Whereas’ clause –instead of RA No. 6989, it should be Act no. 3815 as amended which is the Revised Penal Code.”
