An Act Remitting the Bond of Ten Thousand Dollars Furnished by Melchor Babasa and Apolonio Belmonte in the Case of the United States Versus Pedro Alvares, Alias Araro
Act No. 2341, enacted on February 27, 1914, remits a forfeited bond of ten thousand dollars provided by Melchor Babasa and Apolonio Belmonte for the defendant Pedro Alvarez, also known as Araro. The bond was forfeited due to Alvarez's failure to appear at his trial; however, this was impossible as he had been killed in an encounter with the Constabulary. The Supreme Court had implicitly recommended the remission of the bond, leading to this legislative action. The law emphasizes the urgency of its enactment for the public good, taking effect immediately upon passage.
