    An act is considered mala prohibita if it is prohibited by positive law even though it may not be inherently wrong. These acts violate mere rules of convenience to promote a more orderly society. In contrast, an act is considered mala in se if it is wrong in itself, such as serious felonies defined in the Revised Penal Code. For mala in se acts, intent is important and they elicit near universal condemnation from members of society.
