APPLY
Instruction: Give one (1) actual scenario related to the following concepts.

1. Dolo - One night a guy was waiting for the girl he liked for a long time but did not like
her back, so in his anger he planned that this night he would wait for her where there is
no one and do something bad to her.

2. Culpa - A guy was planning to go to a supermarket to buy groceries at night, he used

his car that he knew was already old and might have many problems. So while driving,
someone crossed the street and when the guy wanted to brake he noticed that it did not
work since he did not get the brakes fixed so in the end he run into a person causing an
accident.

3. Mala In se - A supermarket was being robbed by two robbers and the people inside
where scared but one guy thought he can take down the two robbers so he put up a
fight but in the end he was shot by one of the robbers and died.

4. Mala Prohibita - Breaking the speed limit is one example of malum prohibitum—
there is nothing inherently immoral about driving a car at 100 miles per hour, but this
behavior is mala prohibita in the jurisdictions where it is illegal.

5. Ex Post Facto - A law that makes chewing gum illegal and requires the arrest of
every person who has ever chewed gum, even before the law existed, would be an
example of an ex post facto law.

6. Bill of Attainder – Brianne applies for a job as a teacher at her local elementary
school and is refused, based on this statute: “Members of any subversive group,
including the Communist party, cannot hold public office nor teach for a public
institution.” Brianne could attack this statute as a bill of attainder.

7. Act or Omission – A crime of improper omission could be a homicide, which can be

committed through omission when someone in a position of a guarantor fails to prevent
the harm by omitting to act despite the legal duty to do so (for instance, a mother fails
to provide her child with food resulting in the child's death).

8. General Characteristics – One of the general characteristics of criminal law

is territoriality, which means that penal laws of the Philippines are enforceable only
within its territory. [3] The Constitution provides that: This is the extent of the Philippine
territory as far as the Revised Penal Code is concerned.
9. Territorial Characteristics – This is the extent of the Philippine territory as far as the
Revised Penal Code is concerned. This territoriality principle was not explicitly written
under the old Code of 1870. [4] Although the Code is territorial in nature as is expressly
provided for, it gives certain circumstances wherein it will apply outside the territory of
the Philippines.

10. Prospective Characteristics – A guy was often going to prison to bring food for the
prisoners that he does’nt even know. In this case what he is doing is not morally wrong
so he can not be punished just because he wants to feed prisoners thereby called
prospective characteristic.
