It's like when your parents say, "Okay, we won't get mad about all the dumb stuff you did as a teenager, let's just start fresh." But for political offenders. It's a government-issued "get out of jail free" card, but for a whole group of people. The modern Filipino spelling is 'amnistiya'.
From Spanish 'amnistía'.
This is the older, Spanish-derived spelling. The more common, Filipinized spelling is 'amnistiya'. Both are understood but 'amnistiya' is preferred in modern writing.
