This law is heavily influenced by Philippine law (PRESIDENTIAL DECREE NO. 968). Individuals convicted of a crime may be excused from their punishments for a specified period of time, and the court will monitor them. The court will agree that it is preferable for the offender to avoid prison and instead be monitored by the judge. Because the law's objective is not only to punish criminals by imprisoning them, but also to assist them in changing for the better in settings other than prison, such as those on probation.

1. PROBATION
(PRESIDENTIAL DECREE NO. 968)

2. This law is very much based on Philippine law
(PRESIDENTIAL DECREE NO. 968). People who have been
convicted of a crime may be able to avoid their
punishments for a set amount of time, and the court will
keep an eye on them. The court will agree that it is better
for the offender to stay out of prison and be watched by
the judge. People who are on probation are not in prison,
but the law wants to help them change for the better in
places other than prison, like at work or school.

3. Probation
Probation is an important component of the criminal
justice system.
Under the law, probation is a disposition under which a
defendant, after conviction and sentence, is released
subject to conditions imposed by the court and to the
supervision of a probation officer.

4. Probation: Factors to consider
◦ In determining whether an offender may be placed
on probation, the court shall consider all information
relative, to the character, antecedents, environment,
mental and physical condition of the offender, and
available institutional and community resources.

5. Probation: Disqualifications
◦Probation shall be denied if the court finds that:
(a) the offender is in need of correctional treatment
that can be provided most effectively
by his commitment to an institution; or

6. Probation: Disqualifications
Probation shall be denied if the court finds
that:
(b) there is undue risk that during the period of
probation the offender will commit another
crime; or

7. Probation: Disqualifications
Probation shall be denied if the court finds that:
(c) probation will depreciate the seriousness of the
offense committed.

8. This law is heavily influenced by Philippine law (PRESIDENTIAL
DECREE NO. 968). Individuals convicted of a crime may be
excused from their punishments for a specified period of time,
and the court will monitor them. The court will agree that it is
preferable for the offender to avoid prison and instead be
monitored by the judge. Because the law's objective is not
only to punish criminals by imprisoning them, but also to
assist them in changing for the better in settings other than
prison, such as those on probation.
