Minor offenders shall be entitled to the provisions of RA No. 10592 by virtue of Section
98 of RA No. 9165, otherwise known as Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.
For this purpose, they shall not be considered charged and or convicted with heinous
crimes considering that RA No. 9344 otherwise known as Juvenile Justice and Welfare
Act of 2006 prohibits the imposition of capital punishment or life imprisonment to
Children In Conflict with the Law (CICL).
If the crime/offense is not included in the following categories, the crime/offense

committed is not a heinous crime.
For purposes of determining whether the PDL has been charged and/or convicted of
heinous crime, the following categories shall be considered:
Category 1: Crimes which are committed in a manner that is grievous, odious

and hateful to the senses and which, by reason of their inherent and/or
manifest wickedness, viciousness, atrocity and perversity, are repugnant and
outrageous to the common standards and norms of decency and morality in a
just, civilized and ordered society.
A. The heinousness of the crime were the PDL was charged and/or convicted
must be expressly provided in the decision of the court. Where the court
pronounced that said crime is heinous even if the court did not mention
that it is grievous, odious and hateful to the senses, and irrespective of the
penalty imposed, the crime shall be considered heinous.
A PDL charged under this sub-category "A" shall be entitled to CPI and
Time Allowances, including Immediate Release, during preventive
imprisonment. Upon conviction and the Decision made mention that the
crime committed is heinous or that it is grievous, odious and hateful to the
8
senses irrespective of the penalty imposed, the PDL shall be deemed
convicted of a heinous crime and shall not be entitled to Time Allowances
from the date of conviction up to the completion of service of sentence.
However, when said PDL is convicted and the Decision did not mention
that the crime committed is heinous or that it is grievous, odious and
hateful to the senses, the PDL shall be entitled to Time Allowances starting
from the date of conviction.
CPI and Time Allowances previously granted during preventive

imprisonment shall not be revoked.
B. Where aggravating or qualifying circumstances attendant to the

commission of the crime as to make the provision of the RPC operative
regarding the imposition of death penalty and other circumstances attend
the commission of the crime which indubitably characterized the same as
heinous in contemplation of RA No. 7659, although the imposable penalty
is reclusion perpetua to death. In this instance, the court found that the
crime charged and/or committed is heinous, even if there was no mention
of the crime being grievous, odious and hateful to the senses, and the
penalty imposed is "death but reduced/commuted to reclusion perpetua"
pursuant to RA No. 9346.

CHAPTER 13
General Computation
Section 50. Sample Computation of CPI — The CPI of a PDL shall be computed from the
date the PDL was arrested as reflected in the certificate of detention issued by the law
enforcement agency where he was detained until the date of conviction as reflected in
the decision.
A. Full Credit of CPI
37
A PDL was arrested and detained on April 1, 2014 in Manila Police Station No. 5. On May 2,
2014, subject PDL was committed to Manila City Jail (MO) and executed a detainee's
manifestation. The trial court rendered a decision on April 1, 2019 convicting said PDL of
Homicide and imposed a penalty of imprisonment for six (6) years and one (1) day to twelve
(12) years. How many CPI did the PDL earn?
Note: The PDL's detention in Manila Police Station No. 5 shall be credited full CPI. Likewise,
the detention in MO shall be credited with full CPI considering that the PDL executed a
detainee's manifestation.
FORMULA:
CPI = Date of Conviction - Date of Arrest

• April 1, 2019 — April 1, 2014
(5) years, (0) months, (0) days
B. Four-Fifths (4/5) Credit of CPI
2014, subject PDL was committed to MO and executed a detainee's waiver or refused to
sign either a detainee's manifestation or waiver. The trial court rendered a decision on April
1, 2019 convicting said PDL of Homicide and imposed a penalty of imprisonment for six (6)
years and one (1) day to twelve (12) years. How many CPI did the PDL earn?
Note: The PDL's detention in Manila Police Station No. 5 shall be credited full CPI. However,
the detention in MO shall be credited with 4/5 CPI considering that the PDL executed a
detainee's waiver or refused to sign either a detainee's manifestation or waiver.

• 4 years, 0 months, 7 days
C. Full Credit of CPI with Time Gap
2014, subject PDL was committed to Manila City Jail (MO) and executed a detainee's
manifestation. On November 2, 2014, the PDL was granted bail while undergoing trial. The
trial court, in the presence of the PDL, rendered and promulgated a decision on April 1,
2019 convicting said PDL of Homicide and imposed a penalty of imprisonment for six (6)
years and one (1) day to twelve (12) years. On the same day, subject PDL was recommitted
to MO. How many CPI did the PDL earn?
Note: The PDL's detention in Manila Police Station No. 5 shall be credited full CPI. Likewise,
the detention in MO shall be credited with full CPI considering that the PDL executed a
detainee's manifestation. However, the period where the PDL is on bail shall be considered
as time gap and shall not be included as CPI.

Section 51. Sample Computation of GCTA - The GCTA of a PDL shall be computed from
the date of commitment in the BJMP, BuCor or provincial jail.
A. GCTA during Preventive Imprisonment
A PDL was arrested and detained on April 1, 2014 in Manila Police Station No. 5 (MPS-
5). On May 2, 2014, subject PDL was committed to Manila City Jail (MO) and executed
a detainee's manifestation. The trial court rendered a decision on April 1, 2019 convicting
said PDL of Homicide and imposed a penalty of imprisonment for six (6) years and one
(1) day to twelve (12) years. How many GCTA did the PDL earn?
Note: During the period of detention in Manila Police Station No. 5, the PDL shall not
earn GCTA. The PDL shall only start to earn GCTA upon commitment to MO until the
date of conviction by the trial court.
FORMULA:

B. GCTA during Service of Sentence
(1) day to twelve (12) years. On April 15, 2016, the PDL was committed to BuCor for
service of sentence. How many GCTA did the PDL earn as of December 31, 2019?
earn GCTA. The PDL shall start to earn GCTA upon commitment to MO until the
completion of the service of sentence. MO shall give GCTA from the date of commitment
until the date of transfer to BuCor. The BuCor shall continue to compute GCTA from the
date of commitment until the completion of service of sentence.
FORMULA:
GCTA in MPS-5 = (Date Committed to MO - Date of Arrest) x (0 days)

• (May 2, 2014 — April 1, 2014) x (0 days)

C. GCTA during Service of Sentence with violation of jail/prison rules
(1) day to twelve (12) years. On April 15, 2016, the PDL was committed to BuCor for
service of sentence. On May 2, 2016, the PDL violated a prison/jail rule and is found
guilty for less serious violation. The prison/jail authority through the recommendation of
the board of discipline imposed a penalty of non-entitlement of GCTA for five (5) months.
How many GCTA did the PDL earn as of December 31, 2019?
earn GCTA. The PDL shall start to earn GCTA upon commitment to MO until the
completion of the service of sentence. MCJ shall give GCTA from the date of commitment
until the date of transfer to BuCor. The BuCor shall continue to compute GCTA from the

B. Computation of TASTM for a course less than thirty (30) days within a month
A PDL was arrested and detained on April 1, 2014 in Manila Police Station No. 5 and there,
said PDL studied for 6 days. On May 2, 2014, subject PDL was committed to Manila City Jail
(MC]). On June 6, 2014, subject PDL participated in a 1-hour study in the morning and 2-
hour massage therapy vocational course in the afternoon. On June 11, 2014, said PDL
attended a study for 3 hours and another 4 hours on June 20, 2014. The PDL participated
again in a 5-day course which was conducted on June 25-29, 2014. How many TASTM did
the PDL earn?
Note: The PDL shall not earn TASTM during the period of detention in Manila Police Station
No. 5 because the PNP is not authorized by law to grant TASTM. However, the studies
during detention in MO shall be granted TASTM which is equivalent to 8 days. June 6, 2014
shall be considered 1 day, June 11, 2014 is also considered 1 day of study, June 20, 2014
is also 1 day and June 25-29, 2014 is 5 days.
Total no. of study = 8 days
Considering that the total number of study is 8 days in a particular month which is less than
the required 1 month to be entitled to 15 days deduction, the PDL shall earn a deduction
of 5 days as TASTM. Please refer to Section 28, Graduated Schedule of Allowable
Deduction.
Section 53. Sample Computation of STAL — Upon conviction by final judgment, the prison/jail
authority where the PDL is confined shall direct the MSEC to assess, evaluate and recommend
the grant of STAL.
A. One Fifth (1/5) STAL
A PDL was arrested and detained on April 1, 2014 in Manila Police Station No. 5 (MPS-5).
Said PDL was charged with Homicide on May 2, 2014. During detention in MPS-5 particularly
on April 10, 2014, typhoon "Neil" destroyed the police station which prompted the PDL to
leave but surrendered to the government authority within 48 hours after the declaration of
the passing away of the typhoon. Subject PDL was then committed to Manila City Jail (MO)
45
on July 1, 2014. On August 21, 2014, typhoon "Rene" destroyed the jail which paved the
way for the PDL to leave but surrendered to the government authority within 48 hours after
the declaration of the passing away of the typhoon. The trial court rendered a decision on
April 1, 2016 convicting said PDL of Homicide and imposed a penalty of imprisonment for
six (6) years and one (1) day to twelve (12) years, said decision became final and executory.
How many STAL did the PDL earn as of April 17, 2016?
Note: The PDL shall not be issued a Certificate of Qualification for STAL by MPS-5 because
during the occurrence of typhoon "Neil", subject PDL was not yet entitled to STAL since
said PDL was not yet charged before a court of law. However, the occurrence of typhoon
"Rene" during detention in MO shall be considered and the Warden shall issue a
corresponding Certificate of Qualification for STAL. Considering that there was already a
conviction by final judgment, the Warden shall grant STAL and determine if the PDL has
already fully served sentence, otherwise, the PDL shall be transferred to BuCor for the
completion of the service of sentence.

A PDL was arrested and detained on April 1, 2014 in Manila Police Station No. 5 (MPS-5).
Said PDL was charged with Homicide on May 2, 2014. During detention in MPS-5 particularly
on June 8, 2014, typhoon "Neil" destroyed the police station but the PDL chose to stay and
helped in saving documents and equipment. Subject PDL was then committed to Manila City
Jail (MO) on July 1, 2014. On August 21, 2014, typhoon "Rene" destroyed the jail and the
Jail Officers loss effective control in the facility but the PDL chose to stay despite the
opportunity to leave and even helped in securing the carpeta and other documents in the
office. The trial court rendered a decision on April 1, 2016 convicting said PDL of Homicide
and imposed a penalty of imprisonment for six (6) years and one (1) day to twelve (12)
years, said decision became final and executory. How many STAL did the PDL earn as of
April 17, 2016?
Note: MPS-5 shall issue a Certificate of Qualification for STAL because during the
occurrence of typhoon "Neil", subject PDL is entitled to STAL since said PDL was already
charged before a court of law. In addition, the occurrence of typhoon "Rene" during
detention in MO shall be considered and the Warden shall issue a corresponding Certificate
of Qualification for STAL. Considering that there was already a conviction by final judgment,
46
the Warden shall grant STAL and determine if the PDL has already fully served sentence,
otherwise, the PDL shall be transferred to BuCor for the completion of the service of
sentence.

CHAPTER 14
Transitory Provisions
48
Section 55. Transitory Application - The grant of time allowances to a PDL under RA No.
10592 shall be applied in the following manner:
A. Retroactive Application to a Qualified PDL — The GCTA of a qualified PDL who

committed the crime prior to 10 October 2013 shall be computed from the date the PDL
was convicted by final judgment and under the custody of the BuCor considering that by
that period of time, it is only then the Director of Prisons who is authorized by law to grant
GCTA.
Illustrative example:
A PDL was committed in the BJMP on March 1, 2011. There was a final conviction on April
1, 2012. Subject PDL was committed to BuCor on April 1, 2013. How many GCTA did the
PDL earn as of April 1, 2015?
Note: The PDL shall not earn GCTA in BJMP even if there was already a conviction by final
judgment because in order to be entitled to the retroactive application, the PDL should be
under the custody of the BuCor.
GCTA = (Period of imprisonment with final conviction in BuCor) x 20dd/lmm

• (Date of computation — Date committed in BuCor) x 20dd/lmm
(April 1, 2015 — April 1, 2013) x 20dd/lmm
• (2yy, Omm, Odd) x 20dd/lmm
• 24mm x 20dd/lmm
