The Constitutional and Legal Basis of Public Finance in the PhilippinesLym Relampagos Ongoy
Presentation Report for MPA 457 Public Fiscal Administration. Majority of the topic taken from the book of Secretary Leonor Magtolis Briones "Philippine Public Fiscal Administration".
It was so important and prudent to include a right to reasonable bail in the Bill of Rights because bail is inherently intertwined with a defendant's right to innocence until proven guilty. A person should have the right to be released on bail while preparing for their trial.
This is all about The Article 11 of our Philippine Constitution, the Accountability of Public Officers. I personally looked for Pictures and GIFs for us to understand it well especially for those visual learners like me. :) feel free to access.

The 1987 Philippine Constitution demands that public officials and employees shall at all times be accountable to the people and shall discharge their duties with utmost responsibility, integrity, competence and loyalty, act with patriotism and justice, lead modest lives and uphold public interest over personal interest.
