Practice question
An old reviewer says Article9 still classifies every fine above PHP200 as outside the light-felony definition. A new statute-based problem prescribes only a PHP25,000 fine. The reviewer offers no amendment analysis. Which is best?
- The reviewer necessarily controls because it is older
- The current RA10951 amendments govern; the obsolete PHP200 figure cannot decide the problem
- Every printed reviewer is penal legislation
- The prosecutor may choose either monetary threshold
- A fine cannot be part of felony classification
Legal references
- RA10951, Sections1–2: https://lawphil.net/statutes/repacts/ra2017/ra_10951_2017.html
