 6. That being a first-time offender, accused opts to avail
of the opportunity for reformation, rather than serve the
penalty imposed, which can very well be achieved by
undergoing probation.

PRAYER

WHEREFORE, it is most respectfully prayed of this

Honorable Court that accused be admitted to probation after
the post sentence investigation to be conducted by the Parole
and Probation Office.

RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED.

February 7, 2019, in Dagupan City, Philippines.
