Regulations Governing Issuance and Implementation of Hold Departure Orders,
Watchlist Orders and Allow Departure Orders" on the ground that it infringes on the
constitutional right to travel.

aside the following orders issued by the former DOJ Secretary Leila De Lima (De Lima),
pursuant to DOJ Circular No. 41, thus:
