[Title] => New lease on life given to 280 death row convicts
[Summary] => A new lease on life was given yesterday to 280 death row convicts whose sentences were ordered commuted yesterday by President Arroyo, even as Malacañang said the President would grant conditional pardon to eight more inmates — both for humanitarian reasons.
"(Of the 1,280), maybe the 280 longest-serving, longest-staying inmates on death row will be commuted to life imprisonment," said the President, who could again face the wrath of anti-crime groups and other advocates of the death penalty.

[Title] => GMA pardons 53 inmates
[Summary] => President Arroyo has granted conditional pardon to 53 more inmates, 38 of whom are 70 years old and above and serving sentence by final judgment.
Executive Secretary Eduardo Ermita said the President took into consideration the age, crime committed, physical condition and years served in granting executive clemency.
"This is to prevent a miscarriage of justice or mitigate whatever harshness that may be generated by the strict application of the law," he told reporters during his regular press conference.
