"6. ID.; ID.; ID.; ID.; COURT RULES THAT UNDER THE FACTUAL CIRCUMSTANCES OF THIS CASE, THE MARTIAL LAW YEARS DID NOT HAVE THE EFFECT OF INTERRUPTING THE RUNNING OF THE PRESCRIPTIVE PERIOD.— The allegations regarding their absence, the cancellation of their passports, the seizure of their resources and the incarceration of other IISMI officials had all been raised earlier in the Republic case. Not having been convinced then, neither is this Court convinced now. Raising them for the second time to compel a relitigation will not suffice to make this reverse itself. Thus, we rule that, under the factual circumstances of this case, the martial law years did not have the effect of interrupting the running of the prescriptive period."
