Title Supreme Court: Amendment on enlistment terms for forces abroad

Law: Republic Act No. 687

Decision Date: May 9, 1952

The Amendment to Republic Act No. 573 allows for the continuation of enlistments for enlisted men serving with the Philippine Expeditionary Force, disregarding conflicting provisions of other laws and requiring court-martial approval for termination, while also allowing for reenlistment for those who have previously served with the force.

A

Continuity of Enlistments in the Philippine Expeditionary Force

All enlistments of enlisted men serving in the PEF remain valid and continue to be in effect.
This continuity applies regardless of any conflicting provisions in existing laws.
The enlistments last as long as the Philippines maintains the PEF overseas.
Enlistments can be terminated earlier only by the President following an approved court-martial sentence.

Reenlistment Conditions

Enlisted men may reenlist in the Armed Forces of the Philippines immediately following the expiration of three years from their last enlistment date.
This provision allows for seamless reenlistment without waiting periods beyond the three-year service term.

Effectivity of the Amendment

The Act takes effect immediately upon approval, ensuring no gap in legal coverage regarding enlistment terms in the PEF.
