| It may be argued that in Government of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region v. Olalia, the Court relied on three deportation cases[40] which allowed bail to persons in detention during the pendency of their cases, stating that if bail can be granted in deportation cases, there is no justification why it should not also be allowed in extradition cases. However, circumstances peculiar to the three deportation cases existed that warranted admission to bail. In US v. Go-Sioco, where a Chinese facing deportation for failure to secure the necessary certificate of registration was granted bail pending his appeal, it was noted that said Chinese had committed no crime, was born in the Philippines and lived here for more than 35 years, and at the time of the case was living here with his mother, a Filipina. Said case was also brought under Act No. 702 which falls, by provision of said law, under the jurisdiction of the courts of justice. In Mejoff v. Director of Prisons and Chirskoff v. Commissioner of Immigration, the proposed deportees were stateless foreign nationals, not enemies, against whom no criminal charges had been formally made and who had been under detention for over two years after attempts at having them deported failed. No such extraordinary circumstances appear in the case at bar. | |||||
