Probation was first introduced in the Philippines during the American colonial period
(1898–1945) with the enactment of Act No. 4221 of the Philippine Legislature on August 7,
1935. This law created a Probation Office under the Department of Justice. On November 16,
1937, after barely two years of existence, the Supreme Court of the Philippines declared the
Probation Law unconstitutional because of some defects in the law's procedural framework.

Probation in criminal law is a period of supervision over an offender, ordered by the court
instead of serving time in prison.
In some jurisdictions, the term probation applies only to community sentences (alternatives to
incarceration), such as suspended sentences.[1] In others, probation also includes supervision of
those conditionally released from prison on parole.[2]
An offender on probation is ordered to follow certain conditions set forth by the court, often
under the supervision of a probation officer. During the period of probation, an offender faces
the threat of being incarcerated if found breaking the rules set by the court or probation officer.
July 24, 1976, Presidential Decree No. 968, also known as Adult Probation Law of 1976, was
signed into Law by the President of the Philippines.
The startup of the probation system in 1976-1977 was a massive undertaking during which all
judges and prosecutors nationwide were trained in probation methods and procedures;
administrative and procedural manuals were developed; probation officers recruited and trained,
and the central agency and probation field offices organized throughout the country. Fifteen
selected probation officers were sent to United States for orientation and training in probation
administration. Upon their return, they were assigned to train the newly recruited probation
officers.
The probation system started to operate on January 3, 1978. As more probation officers were
recruited and trained, more field offices were opened. There are at present 204 field offices
spread all over the country, supervised by 15 regional offices
The Probation Administration was created by virtue of Presidential Decree No. 968, “The
Probation Law of 1976”, signed by then President Ferdinand E. Marcos to administer the
probation system.
Under Executive Order No. 292, “The Administrative Code of 1987” which was promulgated on
November 23, 1989, the Probation Administration was renamed “Parole and Probation
Administration” and given the added function of supervising prisoners who, after serving part of
their sentence in jails are released on parole pardon with parole conditions
Effective August 17, 2005, by virtue of a Memorandum of Agreement with the Dangerous Drugs
Board, the Administration performs another additional function of investigating and supervising
first-time minor drug offenders who are placed on suspended pursuant to Republic Act No.
