2018 New Bail Bond Guide

March 8, 2018
DOJ DEPARTMENT CIRCULAR NO. 013-18
TO : All Prosecutors in the National Prosecution Service
SUBJECT : 2018 New Bail Bond Guide
WHEREAS , the right to bail is enshrined in the Constitution, and, in recognition of

its mandate, laws, rules and regulations have been issued to implement the said right;
WHEREAS , bail as a matter of right may be invoked in proper cases;
WHEREAS , prosecutors, as o cers of the court, are duty-bound to assist the
courts in the determination of the amount of bail to be granted, taking into
consideration the following standards and criteria, as provided for by Rule 114 of the
Revised Rules of Criminal Procedure:
"Section 9. Amount of bail; guidelines. — The judge who issued the
warrant or granted the application shall x a reasonable amount of bail
considering primarily, but not limited to, the following factors:
(a) Financial ability of the accused to give bail;
(b) Nature and circumstances of the offense;
(c) Penalty for the offense charged;
(d) Character and reputation of the accused;
(e) Age and health of the accused;
(f) Weight of the evidence against the accused;
(g) Probability of the accused appearing at the trial;
(h) Forfeiture of other bail;
(i) The fact that accused was a fugitive from justice when arrested;
and
(j) Pendency of other cases where the accused is on bail.
Excessive bail shall not be required."
WHEREAS , on the basis of the foregoing standards, the Department issued
Department Circular No. 89 dated August 29, 2000, otherwise known as the 2000 Bail
Bond Guide, which simpli ed and codi ed the various Department (Ministry) Circulars
for uniformity in the amount of bail to be recommended for each crime;
WHEREAS , Republic Act No. 10951, entitled "An Act Adjusting the Amount or the
Value of Property and Damage on which a Penalty is based, and the Fines Imposed
under the Revised Penal Code, amending for the Purpose Act No. 3815, otherwise
known as the 'Revised Penal Code,' as Amended," increased two hundred times the
fines imposed by the Revised Penal Code;
WHEREAS , the adjustment of nes imposed by the Revised Penal Code was due
to the perceived injustice brought about by the range of penalties that the courts
continue to impose on crimes committed today, based on the amount of damage
measured by the value of money eighty (80) years ago;
CD Technologies Asia, Inc. © 2019 cdasiaonline.com
WHEREAS , the explanatory notes of the Senate and House Bills which became
R.A. No. 10951 cited the case of Lito Corpuz v. People of the Philippines , 1 wherein the
Supreme Court saw the "much needed change and updates to archaic laws that were
promulgated decades ago when the political, socio-economic, and cultural settings
were far different from today's conditions";
WHEREAS , in consonance with the foregoing, a concomitant adjustment is
needed in the rules of computation to be used in arriving at a uniform rate of bail;
WHEREAS , there are new acts criminalized since the promulgation of the 2000
Bail Bond Guide;
WHEREAS , there are likewise acts decriminalized since the promulgation of the
2000 Bail Bond Guide;
WHEREAS , the death penalty has been abandoned in our criminal statutes since
the promulgation of the old guide;
WHEREAS , bail acts as a reconciling mechanism to accommodate both the
accused's interest in pretrial liberty and society's interest in assuring the accused's
presence at trial;
WHEREAS , there is a need to harmonize anew the bail to be recommended vis-à-
vis the crimes and felonies, as well as their respective imposable penalties and fines;
WHEREAS , Department Order No. 688 dated October 20, 2017 was issued
constituting a Technical Working Group and Drafting Committee for the 2017 Bail Bond
Guide;
NOW, THEREFORE , the following rules of computation shall be used in arriving
at a uniform rate of bail, viz.:
1. Where the penalty is Reclusion perpetua or life imprisonment, bail is not a
matter of right; hence, "No Bail" shall be recommended;
2. Where bail is a matter of right and the imposable penalty is imprisonment
and/or ne, the bail shall be computed on the basis of the penalty of
imprisonment, a fraction of a year shall be rounded-off to one year,
applying the following formulae, to wit:
a. Where the penalty is Prision correccional (regardless of the period)
t o Reclusion perpetua, or Reclusion temporal (regardless of the
period) to Reclusion perpetua, bail shall be computed on the
maximum period of Reclusion temporal.
b. Where the imposable penalty is correccional or a ictive, bail shall
be based on the maximum of the penalty, the number of years in its
maximum period to be multiplied by P6,000.00, except for the
following:
b.1 For Theft up to P600,000.00, bail shall be based on the
maximum of the penalty, the number of years in its
maximum period to be multiplied by P2,000.00. Any
amount exceeding P600,000.00 shall be based on the
maximum of the penalty, the number of years in its
maximum period to multiplied by P6,000.00.
b.2 For Quali ed theft up to P600,000.00, bail shall be
based on the maximum of the penalty, the number of
years in its maximum period to be multiplied by
P2,000.00. Any amount exceeding P600,000.00, bail shall
be based on the maximum penalty, the number of years
in its maximum period to be multiplied by P6,000.00.
b.3 For Estafa under par. 2 (D) up to P1.2 M, bail shall be
P2,000.00. Any amount exceeding P1.2 M, bail shall be
P6,000.00.
c. For crimes covered by the Rule on Summary Procedure, Republic Act
No. 6036, and in instances where bail is not required under this
guideline which underwent preliminary investigation, bail shall be
indicated as "bail is not required," except when respondent/accused
is brought to inquest proceedings, in which case, bail shall be set at
P3,000.00. n
d. For quasi offenses, bail shall be in accordance with this guideline
(see table), since life and limb is more valuable than any damage to
property.
e. For violations of Batas Pambansa Blg. 22, bail shall be P6,000.00 for
the rst P40,000.00 face value of the check and an additional
P6,000.00 for every P40,000.00 in excess of P40,000.00 but bail
shall not exceed P120,000.00.
3. Where the imposable penalty is ne only, bail shall be computed as
follows:
a. For fine not exceeding P400,000.00, bail is not required.
b. For ne of more than P400,000.00, bail shall be 10% thereof but
shall not exceed P120,000.00.
4. For violations of special laws, bail shall be computed based on the
maximum penalty imposable, the number of years in its maximum period
multiplied by P6,000.00 except for the following laws, bail shall be
computed based on the maximum penalty imposable, the number of years
in its maximum period multiplied by P10,000.00 to wit:
a. RA 7610 (Special Protection of Children Against Child Abuse,
Exploitation and Discrimination), as amended by RA 9231
