A. Grave Threats under Article 282 - the act threatened to be done is a crime e.g.

to kill, to burn
or destroy property, to box or to inflict injuries

1. Conditional: the accused makes a demand so that he will not do what he threatened, such as
a demand for money or another condition which may not be unlawful. E.g. “I will stone your car
if you will fail me”.

2 Unconditional- there is simply a declaration to do wrong or harm amounting to a crime. E.g.: “I

am tired of looking at your face. I might as well kill you”

3. But if the threat was made in the heat of anger and the accused did not persist, it is Light
Threats. E.g: In a heated quarrel the accused uttered: “ Uubusin ko kayong magpapamilya” but
did not do anything more. If he however gets a weapon and moves towards his opponent, the
crime is grave threats.
