MOTION TO REDUCE CASH BAIL BOND

Accused, through the Public Attorney’s Office (PAO) and unto

this Honorable Court, most respectfully state that:

1. They have been charged for “VIOL. OF SEC. 1 (a) (1), P.D No.
1602” before this Honorable Court. Consequently, a warrant of
arrest was issued and bail for their provisional liberty was fixed
at THIRTY THOUSAND PESOS (P 30,000.00) EACH.

2. They only earn minimal income just enough to sustain their

daily basic needs. Thus, it is not f asible for them or
their family to pay the full amount of their bail bond.

3. Both accused now implore to this Honorable Court’s

compassion in requesting for a reduction of the aforesaid bail to
the amount of FOUR THOUSAND PESOS (P 4,000.00) EACH.

4. This motion is being filed without prejudice to any other

remedy which may be available to the accused, including the
right to question the legality of their arrest, as may be
warranted by the circumstances.

WHEREFORE, premises considered, the accused most

respectfully pray unto this Honorable Court that the aforesaid
amount of their bail be reduced to FOUR THOUSAND PESOS (P
4,000.00);
Other reliefs deemed just and equitable are likewise prayed for.
