    A complaint is a sworn written statement charging a person with an offense that is signed by the victim or law enforcement. An information is a formal accusation filed with the court and signed by the prosecutor. Both complaints and informations must be in writing, name the People of the Philippines as the plaintiff, and identify all persons responsible for the alleged offense. After a complaint is filed, a preliminary investigation is conducted by the prosecutor to determine if there is probable cause to file an information in court.
