Philippine Laws -Simplified | Free Legal Advice

Welcome! I'm Giancarlo Enrico S. Pozon, a Wushu instructor, investor and Barrister... That's right, Barrister; I graduated from law school and took the Bar Exams, now I'm waiting for the results. I created this blog to make Philippine Law easy to understand for the average person. It's all about free legal advice. There are many law blogs. But the problem is that many of them are written for lawyers and law students. They use words that can't be understood by ordinary people. Many lawyers, judges and law students consider themselves as superior to most human beings because of their knowledge of the law. It bothers me since the law is supposed to serve society. Since the law is meant to serve society as a whole, it is important that is must be understood by everybody. This does not mean that we should all become lawyers. It means that although law is a highly specialized profession, the first duty of everybody in this profession is to make the law understandable to all; that's why all these articles are free legal advice. Like I said, this blog is about law -but it's for the ordinary people, not the lawyers. It's for the ordinary folk so they will know what is good and bad for them, and that making them aware of the law will help us all improve society as a whole. This is free legal advice for everybody!

Bail: Cancellation or Denial

Sunday, September 22, 2013

Bail will be cancelled or denied if the penalty for the crime is imprisonment for more than 6 years or if any of the following circumstances is present:

1.) The accused is a recidivist, quasi-recidivist, habitual delinquent or if there is reiteration
2.) He previously escaped from legal custody, evaded sentence or violated the conditions of the bail without a valid justification
3.) He committed a crime while under probation, parole or conditional pardon
4.) Circumstances indicate that he might escape if he is bailed
5.) There is an undue risk that he might commit another crime while his appeal is pending
6.) The accused is acquitted (obviously!)
