Separate Opinions

MAKASIAR, C.J., concurring:

Since it is not established that the respondents have authorized the killing of criminals in violation of their constitutional rights, they should be merely reminded, not directed, to always respect the constitutional rights of criminals.

TEEHANKEE, J., concurring:

I concur with the Court's prescribed remedial measures ordering that the secret marshals accord due process and respect for the basic human rights of suspects and face trial in court to prove the justification for any killing committed by them, and voted further to grant the petition for the disbanding and outlawing of secret marshals.
