RULES OF COURT
Rule 110 – Prosecution of offenses,
Section 2. The Complaint or information. — The complaint or information shall be in writing, in the
name of the People of the Philippines and against all persons who appear to be responsible for the
offense involved. (2a)
Section 2. Proof beyond reasonable doubt. — In a criminal case, the accused is entitled to an
acquittal, unless his guilt is shown beyond reasonable doubt. Proof beyond reasonable doubt does
not mean such a degree of proof, excluding possibility of error, produces absolute certainly. Moral
certainly only is required, or that degree of proof which produces conviction in an unprejudiced mind.
