The document discusses the concept of double jeopardy under Philippine law. It lists the requisites for double jeopardy to apply, including that the accused was previously brought to trial in a court of competent jurisdiction under a valid complaint, was arraigned and pleaded to the charge, and the case was terminated without their express consent. It also notes that double jeopardy does not apply if a mistrial was granted due to lack of due process, and that an accused can appeal a conviction without it constituting double jeopardy.
