Physical assault is when an individual or a group attacks a person physically, with or without the use of a weapon, or threatens to hurt that person. It can include scratching, pushing, kicking, punching, throwing things, using weapons or physically restraining another person.
The penalty for assault and battery depends on the classification of the injuries: Serious Physical Injuries: If the injuries incapacitate the victim for more than 30 days or cause permanent disfigurement, the accused may face imprisonment ranging from 6 months to 6 years, depending on the circumstances.
Homicide: The recommended bail is ₱40,000 to ₱200,000, depending on the circumstances. Serious Physical Injuries: The recommended bail is around ₱10,000 to ₱60,000, depending on the degree of injury and whether the crime was committed with any aggravating circumstances.
