CONCEPT OF PROBATION

P.D 968 as amended, otherwise known as the probation

law of 1976 defines probation. The court convicts and
sentences the defendant but the execution of the
sentence, whether it imposes a fine only or a term of
imprisonment is suspended \and the defendant is released
on probation. Probation implies that during the period of
time fixed by the court, the defendant is provided with
individualized community based treatment including
conditions he is required by the court to fulfill his
correction and rehabilitation which might be less probable
if he wee to serve a prison sentence, and for this purpose,
he is placed under the actual supervision and visitation of
a probation officer.
If the defendant violates any of the conditions of his
probation, the court may revoke his probation and order
him to serve the sentence originally imposed. On the
other hand, if he fulfills with the terms and conditions of
his probation, he shall be discharge by the court after the
period of probation, where upon the case against him
shall be deemed terminated. His final discharged shall
operate to restore to him all civil rights lost or suspended
as result of his conviction and to fully discharge his
liability for any fine imposed as to the offense for which
probation was granted. However, he shall continue to be
obliged to satisfy liability resulting from the crime
committed by him.
PROBATION IS NOT A MATTER OF RIGHT BUT A
PRIVILEGE

- Probation can not be demanded as a matter of right. It

is a privilege. Hence, only those persons who are
qualified may apply for probation. Its grant depends upon
the discretion of the trial court. No person shall be placed
on probation except upon prior investigation by the
probation officer and a determination by the court that
the ends of justice and the best interest of public as well
as that of the defendant will be serve thereby.
SCOPE OF APPLICATION

known as the Child and Youth Welfare Code. Hence, an offender who is
under 18 years of age must be dealt with in accordance with the more
liberal and beneficent provisions of PD 603
Incidentally, Art 192 PD 603 as amended gives the youthful offender a
choice as to whether he will be dealt with as a youthful offender under
PD603 or as Adult offender under PD 968 as amended. If he does not
apply under PD603 as amended, he treated as an adult offender. In
such a case, two options are open to him, namely:
A. to simply serve his sentence
B. to apply of probation under PD968 as amended
2. Those that are found guilty in violation of R.A
6425, otherwise known as the Dangerous Drug
Act of 1972. Hence, its beneficiaries, drug
 dependents, must be subjected to the
confinement, treatment and
rehabilitation measures provided therein. Even
those who are below twenty-one years of age who
are found guilty of possessing or using prohibited or
regulated drugs must be treated under the
provisions of R.A 6425.
3. Those offenders who has not been convicted and
sentenced.
4. Those that are found guilty in violation of BP
881 as amended by BP 882,883 and 884

1987 (an act creating the Video gram
Regulatory Board)
6. Those that are found guilty in violation of
RA 6727 otherwise known as the Wage
Rationalization Act.
PURPOSE OF PROBATION
1. Promote the correction and rehabilitation of
an offender by providing him with
individualized treatment.
2. Provide and opportunity for the reformation
of a penitent offender which might be less
 probably if he were to serve a prison
sentence.
3. Prevent the commission of an offence.
DISQUALIFIED OFFENDERS

amended?

under the child and Youth Welfare Code as amended and

treatment given under those latter laws is of a different
kind from that under PD 968 as amended.
