a. Coverage

COVERAGE

Remedy available to those whose right to life, liberty and security is violated or threatened with violation by an unlawful act or omission of a public official or employee or a private individual or entity. It covers extra-legal killings and enforced disappearances or threats thereof. (Sec. 1, A.M. No. 07-9-12-SC, October 24, 2007)

The writ of amparo does not cover impairment of the right to travel. For it to be granted, petitioner must show that his right to travel was curtailed to such an extent as to threaten his right to life, liberty and security for which there is no readily available recourse or remedy. (Reyes v. CA, G. R. No. 182161, 2009)

Rationale

The unique structure of the military justifies exempting military men from the constitutional coverage on the right to bail.
