What are the rules regarding fines and punishments?
Excessive fines shall not be imposed on any person convicted of an offense. Furthermore, the Constitution prohibits the infliction of cruel, degrading, or inhuman punishments. These standards ensure that the penal system remains humane and respects the dignity of individuals. According to Article III Section 19 1987 Philippine Constitution, the state must avoid excessive or barbaric penalties. “SECTION 19. (1) Excessive fines shall not be imposed, nor cruel, degrading or inhuman punishment inflicted.” 28-Jan-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
