What is the pardoning power of the Philippine president?

The pardoning power of the Philippine president is the authority to grant clemency, which includes the ability to pardon individuals convicted of crimes, commute sentences, or grant reprieves. This power is outlined in the 1987 Philippine Constitution, allowing the president to exercise discretion in cases of justice and mercy. Pardons can be granted for various reasons, including rehabilitation or to correct perceived injustices. However, this power is subject to certain limitations and procedures, often requiring recommendations from the Board of Pardons and Parole.
