Penalties are imposed to someone who breaks the rules of law.

In the Philippines, penalties are

included in the provisions of the Revised Penal Code. Penalties have a leverage of effect towards
a perpetrator or criminal. The level of such penalty depends on its classifications and exceptions.
There are what we call principal penalties which includes capital punishment (death penalty),
afflictive penalties (reclusion pertetua, reclusion temporal, absolute disqualification, special
disqualification and prison mayor), correctional penalties and light penalties. These penalties are
those directly levied by the court in the making a conviction. I have learned that within this
penalties, there are reasonable considerations to imply and comprehend. One of it is the
difference of life imprisonment and reclusion perpetua; that life imprisonment has a heavier
effect to a perpetrator than the reclusion perpetua. Moreover, a penalty is being prescribed to a
certain degree and period of felony. At the end of the day, any person must always be in good
faith. And if a person will commit a felony, he or she must suffer from what he/she has done. In
conclusion, the lecture shed light in the proper consideration and implications of penalties. That
any perpetrator can endure a punishment. But once that felony or crime committed extended to
extreme, the perpetrator will face the degree and period of penalties that the law has stated.
