The Supreme Court has ruled that effective last Tuesday, all violations of the Bouncing Checks Law (Batas Pambansa 22) will no longer be punishable by imprisonment. Instead, those who issue bouncing checks will merely have to pay a fine — in cash — the court said.


Chief Justice Hilario Davide signed administrative circular 12-2000 reminding lower court judges of the November 1998 decision of Justice Vicente Mendoza in the case of Eduardo Vaca, where the jurist "deleted the penalty of imprisonment."

Those justifying the conditional pardon of Manero keep on saying that he could

sentence.  This is wrong.  Commutation of sentence acquires importance and
becomes useful only in the granting of parole.  There is a whale of difference
between parole and pardon.

Parole is the release from imprisonment after serving the minimum penalty
imposed under the Indeterminate Sentence Law (Act. No. 4103).  It is granted by
the Board of Pardons and Parole.
