Certification

Penalty for complex crimes: The penalty for the most serious crime shall be imposed, the same to
be applied in its maximum degree. (Art. 48, R.P.C.) Rape and forcible abduction have same severity of
penalty. (See Art. 342, R.P.C.)
As to why this pleading should be entitled “information” and the not “complaint” as is done by
same fiscal, please see footnote (457).
Rape may be either consummated or attempted. There is no frustrated rape. (Rape v. Oscar, 48
Phil. 527.) But see people v. 50 PHIL. 998.
