It is inevitable that we will encounter a check at least once in our lifetime. This medium of commerce is still very common despite the proliferation of credit cards. Sadly, with the increase in its use there is also the increase in the number of individuals taking advantage of checks to defraud other people.
For this reason, a provision in a Revised Penal Code was placed to deal with this issue. This law however has defects and deemed insufficient to answer certain situations, thus the Bouncing Checks Law (B.P. 22) was passed into law.
For non-lawyers, these two laws may create confusion because of its highly technical terminologies. As such, I have decided to write this simple guide to aid those who seek more information about estafa and the Bouncing Checks Law (B.P. 22).
How is estafa through the issuance of bouncing checks committed?
It is committed by means of any of the following false pretenses or fraudulent acts executed prior to or simultaneously with the commission of the fraud:
By postdating a check, or issuing a check in payment of an obligation when the offender had no funds in the bank, or his funds deposited therein were not sufficient to cover the amount of the check. (Article 315(2)(d) of the Revised Penal Code as amended by R.A. 4885)
What are the elements of estafa through the issuance of bouncing checks?
This form of estafa has the following elements:
- Postdating or issuance of a check in payment of an obligation contracted at the time the check was issued
- Insufficiency of funds to cover the check, and
- Damage to the payee thereof.
If any of these elements is not present then a person cannot be held liable for estafa.
Marian went to a boutique to shop for clothes. Since she is a friend of the store owner, she was allowed to pay later. After 10 days, Marian issued a check in payment of the clothes she bought. The check bounced to the dismay of the store owner. Can Marian be held liable for estafa?
No. Marian cannot be held liable for estafa because the check was issued in payment of a pre-existing debt. As mentioned earlier, estafa through the issuance of a bouncing check can be committed only if the check was issued in payment of an obligation contracted at the time the check was issued. Note however that while there is no estafa, nevertheless, Marian can be held liable for another crime, which will be discussed below.
Can the issuance of bouncing checks give rise to other offense aside from estafa?
Yes. A single act of issuance of bouncing checks may give rise to several offenses such as estafa and violation of B.P. 22 or the Bouncing Checks Law
How is a violation of the Bouncing Checks Law committed?
There are two possible ways by which this can be committed, to wit:
- Making or drawing and issuing any check to apply on account or for value, knowing at the time of issue that he does not have sufficient funds in or credit with the drawee bank for the payment of such check in full upon its presentment, which check is subsequently dishonored by the drawee bank for insufficiency of funds or credit or would have been dishonored for the same reason had not the drawer, without any valid reason, ordered the bank to stop payment
- Having sufficient funds in or credit with the drawee bank when he makes or draws and issues a check, shall fail to keep sufficient funds or to maintain a credit to cover the full amount of the check if presented within a period of ninety (90) days from the date appearing thereon, for which reason it is dishonored by the drawee bank.
What are the elements of violation of the Bouncing Checks Law?
An offence under this law is committed when the following elements are present:
- Making, drawing and issuance of any check to apply for account or for value;
- Knowledge of the maker, drawer, or issuer that at the time of issue he does not have sufficient funds in or credit with the drawee bank for the payment of such check in full upon its presentment; and
- Subsequent dishonor of the check by the drawee bank for insufficiency of funds or credit or dishonor for the same reason had not the drawer, without any valid cause, ordered the bank to stop payment.
How can there be presumption that the maker, drawer, or issuer had knowledge of the insufficiency of funds?
The presumption arises only after it is proved that the issuer received a notice of dishonor and that within 5 days from receipt thereof, he failed to pay the amount of the check or make arrangement for its payment.
In the same example given earlier, can Marian be held liable for violation of the Bouncing Checks Law?
Yes, because in Bouncing Checks Law, unlike in estafa under Article 315(2)(d) of the Revised Penal Code a person can be held liable for making, drawing or issuing a check for account or for value. Meaning, even if the check was issued in payment of an existing obligation, the person can still be held liable.
Can Marian use as a defense the fact that there was no malice or bad faith on her part when she issued the check?
No. The law does not consider important whether or not malice and intent attended the issuance of the check.
If Marian pays the check or makes an arrangement for its payment within 5 days from notice of the dishonor, what is the result?
She can invoke this payment as a complete defense if a case will be filed against her by the store owner.
Good evening Atty Biron, hope you are well po. I would just like to seek legal advise from you. May nareceive po akong warrant of arrest thru Viber forwarded by a collections officer for BP 22 last week. Inaadvise po nya na bayaran ko ung 18, 000 bail para di daw po nya ako ipadampot sa police. The warrant po is dated November 17, 2016 and just sent it to me last week. It was signed by judge. I just want to ask if possible po ba na sinend thru viber and the date was issued last year pero last week nya lang po sinend and I never received any court hearing or summons prior to the warrant. I hope you can assist me po. Thank you Atty.

Good day po Atty. Biron, I hope you are well. I would like to seek for your legal advise. I just came from NBI to claim my clearance today and I was instructed to go to Quality Control. From there the lady I spoke with informed me that a case was filed against me prior to violation of BP22. To my understanding from her notes the said case was filed last Dec 7, 2016. I never receive any letter prior to the said case violating BP22 court hearing/summon or any information before this day. The lady told me that I have to coordinate with the RTC and make some arrangements to clear what is need. I’m clueless on this and would like to get your best advise and help.
Thank you Atty.
hi atty.
i got a loan from a lending and i received 2 notice of dishonor last year. however the collection agency went to my home and we agreed to have a compromise agreement. i thought that should be ok now. i made same lapses on payments but i see to it to pay the unsettled bill as soon as i have an ample money. then now i received a court order stating that no one received the arraignment letter and i have a bail to pay. truly, i dont received any letter from them. it also shows that my case will be put into archive until i put a reinstatement in case of apprehension. what would be the steps that i need to do? should i contact the lending company first to ask why the case has been pushed through or go directly to the court? can this still be dismissed?
thank you and more power.

Hi Atty Biron,
I would like to seek professional help from you. How do I contact you?
Thank you.
Hello Atty,
Need your help please.
I had loans with a lending company back in 2010 and had pending obligations.
I aplied for NBI clearance montha ago and had a hit and since then I have not checked what the hit was. It could be the bouncing checks I had used.
Questions-Can I go directly to the lending company and settle it? Or will they refer me to the collections company or to the court?
I am lost on how to proceed as I badly need the NBI clearance for a job offer.
Thank you in advance.
Good Day Atty,

Hi Atty. James Biron, greetings po and praying you’re in the best of health. I was granted a bank loan last 2008 where the same bank provided me with checks as guarantee for my loan. I was a good payee and same bank offered me another loan when I reached half-way of my total obligations. I signed another set of checks for the new loan but later failed to pay after a few months. Recently the same bank has notified me that they will file a criminal case. Please advise me Atty. Thank you very much.
Atty., to add, the banks collection agent notified me that they will be filing criminal cases for BP22 and Estafa against me.
Gud evening po atty. Need your help po please. Meron po kc akong unpaid credit card amounting to 200k pro original amt po is 120k dahil nagkaproblem po kami financially kaya d ko n rin po magawang makabayad ng minimum amt.due. Tapos po last june 2017 may 2mawag po s akin n taga nbi po n nagfile dw po ung credit card company ng case against me tapos po pinacoordinate po nya ako s assigned lawyer pra makapag-issue dw po ng TRO. Then sabi po ng lawyer kelangan ko rw po mag-issue ng cheke amounting to 150k dated june 19 pra po makapag-issue po sya ng TRO dahil un lng po in-approve ng bank. Medyo mabilis po ang mga pangyayari at dahil n rin po s takot na makasuhan po ako nag-issue po ako ng cheke. Nahirapan po talaga ako makapag-produce ng 150k kaya po nakiusap po ako ng 2 beses n ipahold ang cheke pro nagpartial po ako ng una po 30k then 10k po pra raw po mai-hold. Tapos po nanghingi po ulit ung lawyer ng another check amounting to 110k dated july 15 po. Ayoko na po sana talaga sanang mag-issue ng cheke dahil nahi2rapan po talaga akong makahanap ng ganong halaga ng bglaan pro ayaw po nila pumayag n mag-staggered nlng po ako. Tapos po today nakiusap po ako kanina na kung pwede po muna i-hold ung cheke at nagsabi po ako na sisikapin pong makabayad bukas ng kahit po 30k. Ang buong akala ko po ok na at pumayag po sya. Tapos po tumawag po ung lawyer bago po mag-3 pm pra po inform ako na pinasok daw po nya ang cheke n 110k at pag nag-returned dw po un e ipapasok nya rin daw po ung 150k Inamin ko naman po sa kanya na wla p pong laman checking acct. Pro tinuloy nya pa rin po pagpasok. Bakit po ganun atty. Kelangan po bang lalo pa pong ibaon ang taong lubog na lubog na po? Parang wala po syang puso. Then tinawagan po ako ng bank ng bandang 5 pm na may pumasok nga raw po na 110k na cheke na naging dahilan po pra po ma-close ang account ko. Nakikipagcoordinate naman po ako sa kanila pro bakit ganun po atty parang wla po clang awa. Magpafile na po ba cla agad ng bp22 case sa akin bukas? Hindi ko na po alam ang gagawin ko atty. Dahil malamang po na mawalan po ako ng trabaho na tangi po naming inaasahan. Sana po matulungan po ninyo ako atty. Salamat po

Good morning po atty. hihingi po sana ako ng advice May nag-issue po kasi sa akin ng checks na tumalbog. Dati po kasi akong may carwarsh, ibinenta ko po ito kay RONILO BAYLON for 200k, wala po kaming kasulatan pero nag-issue sya ng checks. Yun pong 80k ay binayaran nya ng cash at 120k ay checks. Tumalbog po lahat. Lumapit po ako sa isang paralegal company, nagpadala kami notice kay Ronilo about sa utang at nireceive nya po ang notice. Magfafile po kmi ng estafa at bp22. Ilang taon po ba ang maximum na dapat makapagfile? Medyo magastos po kasi. Pag po nag-bail sya pano pa po ako makakasingil? May mga susunod na steps pa po ba?

Hi atty! Consult ko lang po un case ko. Un partner ko po ay kinausap un isa kong friend para magloan s isang tao using my friend’s name. Pmayag naman po un friend ko at ngissue ng pdc un partner ko sa friend ko for the total amount of the loan. Un chek na yun ay walang date at payee. That was more than 5yrs ago. Just last yr, ngfile po s bgy un friend ko asking me to pay the whole amount of the chek. Pls.note po na dalawa kami ng partner ko na nkapirma s chek at un chek na yun ay walang date at payee, pirma lang namin dalawa ang meron. Nun pnresent s bgy un chek ay may date na at may payee na. Ang sabi nya sinisingil na sya nung inutangan ng pera kaya sinisingil nya na kami. Wala na po kami nun partner ko ngayon. Nagoffer po ako na bayaran every month. Pero un share ko lang which is half. Ayaw nya po pumayag. Natapos kami s bgy ng walang resolution. Ngayon po may nagsabi sakin na magfile daw sya ng case for estafa. Hindi n small claims. Un amt ng chek is more or less 40k. Ang tanong ko po, valid ba un chek if sya lang ang naglagay ng date, name at amount? Iaaprove po b ng court un estafa case? Salamat po.
Hello Atty.
need your advice po i had loans po sa bank and almost 1yr & 6 months nmn po ako nakakabayad sad to say po nawalan po ako ng work paano na po mang yayare saaekn kung d ko po ma pondohan yung checking account ko po,
thanks
Good day po Atty.,
May mga PDCs po kasi kami na inissue to two different banks for monthly payment ng loans. Ung is a is payable in 12mos and the other is payable in 24mos. Bale meron pa pa po kami na tig-6 months na natitira na need bayaran for both loans.
Ang problem po namin ngaun is wala na po kami capacity to pay or pondohan ung checking account since nalugi na po ung maliit na business namin kaya for sure magbounce na po lahat ung mga succeeding PDCs na naissue namin.
Ano pong magandang gawin namin? Tama po ba na ipaclose na lang namin ung checking account namin sa bank or antayin na lang namin na magdue ung mga PDCs?
Hope you can give us some good advice..
Thank you po and more power.

Natatakot po ako makulong regarding dun sa utang ko, worth 64k ung dinedeclare pa nila na balance ko sa cheke na nag bounce na inissue so kanila, whick close na po ung checking account ko. Need po your comments regarding this at kung ano po ang kelangan kong gawin.

good day Atty biron,
Just want to seek legal advice from you since i can sense that you can help me with these. My friend got into a debt . A 10% interest rate debt . She was forced and harrased to issue a check to update her current account . And up to this day it has gone up to more than doubled the sum of the principal . She has asked for considerations and stuff but the lender just keeps compounding the interest takimg advantage of the situation . And now my friend has no way of paying it all the more bec of that act. There is no way she can pay now that it has entered in a 7 digit phase . She did issued a check for that amount also just to keep the lender from barking not knowing this might bite her in the end . The lender must’ve known this for he is the one who reffered the bank om where to open . It was just opened … Meaning minimum initial deposit and thats it . Never been used for another transactions . And they got no sort of some written agreement too . Only thing that worries her is the checks … Now i was happy to inform her that she could not be sued for estafa. However when i found out about this bouncing check laws . That caught my attention . Can you pls advise on what to do best . The lender is threatening to sue . How can she defend herself or at the very least just pay off the original principal . PS . We tried talking to the lender about that matter and lender is adamant not to and pursue with his calculation . We got a copy of his calculation and its a complete rip off.
Hello Atty,
I have an outstanding balance from a Lending Company amounting to P9,356.00. I issued a PDC for this way back September 2015. I was bale to pay PHP 18,000 plus. Can I be sued for estafa and BP22? And if so, how much would the bail be? I am worried as I am financially struggling.
Hoping for your reply.

Hi Atty,
Good Day!
I discovered when I was interviewed for nbi quality control that there was a BP 22 case filed againts me in Makati MTC last June 2011. I did not received any subpoena or notice about the case because I moved out of that address and reside temporarily in the province. NBI asked me to go to MTC to settle the case but they did not inform me who filed the case againts me. I am scared to go to MTC because I am afraid that I will be arrested. I don’t know if I have any warrant of arrest since I am no longer living in the same residence since year 2010. Is the case still pending or ongoing even after 6 years without any hearing? If I go to Makati MTC, will they inform me who filed the case and will I be arrested? Can i still settle this with the one who filed a case againts me? I am sorry as I am not knowledgeable in this matter. How should I resolve this? Will I be put in jail because of this? Please help me. I feel so stressed because of this. Looking forward to your advise.

Hi Atty,
I would like to ask about my situation, I am an OFW. Nung first timer po aq sa hk nag apply pinag apply po kame ng agency sa isang lending company para makabayad sa kanila ng plaxement fee. I expense 130k all in all sa agency na yun, placement fee was 80k, other 50k consume for my traning fee, processing fee, airtickets,board and lodging and other expenses. Nasa cebu po aq that time nong process nila ang papers ko at need ko lumuwas ng manila para sa mga trainings and etc. The loan was applied at cebu branch. And the bank cheque aswell. But the cheque i applied at BDO I didn’t handle it. The agency hold it until manila and the day that I’m going to process the loan in their main branch. When we process the loan i just hold the money worth of 80k on the bank and handed it at the sane time to the agency personel. I don’t have any idea that time, yun din po yong una kong pag apply ng cheque. When i started working in hk di po naging maganda as i was been maltreatment of my employer’s inlaws na nka stay sa bahay nila.. i contacted my agency about it and they say that they will talk to my employer. But then on palage p din nangyayare. After two weeks i decided to terminate my contract. Pumunta aq sa phil consulate dito sa hk pra mag pa legal advice regarding sa expenses ko sa agency. I did file a case dahil wala pla placement fee talaga.. the case was file but they said i need to stay in the phil to pursue the case at mabawi lahat ng ginastos ko at pati nrin na loan ko. Pero dahil nghanap aq ng panibagong employer di ko na inabot pa ang 3months nag karoon na lng kme ng agreement na sila na bahala sa loan ko. Right then di ko na inisip na may utang ako.. after 6 months of the employment i got pregnant at kelangan ko umuwe ng pinas it was 2011.. the lending company was very silent so i thought that the agency repay them. I was been employed again 2013 sa hk. Then last year someone send me a message from the lending company through my personal number dito sa hk. They are asking me to pay my loan and i told them that i already file a case to the agency regarding the loan pero nauwe s agreement na sila na bahala sa loan ko. After that conversation wala na sila message until then they message my sister which she is my co-borrower, the harassing her to pay the loan. They said they gave the letter of dishonor personally in my sister. They attached the copy of the letter but the received section signed was different from my sister’s normal sign. Now they sue my sister filling the case of bp22, but she’s not the one who borrow the money it was me. Ngayon po galit na galit kapatid ko dahil sa case na bp

Good day attorney,
I am working in a Lending Company a Corporation………. last June 7, 2016, they executed a board resolution and secretary’s certificate to appoint me as representative to file a case of BP#22 against one of our client. after the preliminary investigation, it resolves that the graveman is guilty of the offence charged and he should be liable for BP#22,, and then I go through arraignment, mediation and pre-trial stages,, my counsel for the case is the public the prosecutor, and then the defense lawyer look for the violation and technicalities of our company in BIR, I went through trials stages, I testified as main witness in front of the court,, then one time the public prosecutor told us to withdraw the case of BP#22, because according to the public prosecutor the defense lawyer offered a settlement that the accused has nothing to pay to the private complainant and they will not ask the BIR to file a case against us,,, at iuurong daw po nila lahat ng case na nakaabang sa abang,, at kinausap kami ng public prosecutor na iurong daw po nakin ang dimenda at pakawalan nalang ung utang kasi halos makbayad naman na daw po,, kasi po attorney, ung nangutang na iyon ay may naging balance pa sa amin, may remaining obligation pasiya, at iyun po ay tumubo ng interest na mahigit isa’t kalahating taon kaya umabot nang ganung halaga,, at bilang kabayaran po sa kanayang natirang utang sya PO AY NAG ISSUE nang checke na kabayaran para doon,, tanong ko lang po makakaapekto po ba ang mga violations and technicalities ng company namin sa case na naifile namin sa akusado, tapos ttakutin kami ng defense lawyer nia na iurong daw namin ang case para dw po hindi sila magfile sa BIR, its because I have Judicial admission during trial,,, dahil tinanong nia ako regarding doon sa mga technicalities namin and violations,, tama po ba ung decision namin na sundi ung public prosecutor na iurong nalang ang kaso??

Hi Atty, just want to ask for legal advice. My husband had a loan from a lending company and issued PDCs as a manner of payment. But because of some on toward circumstances he failed to clear the remaining 3 checks and PD22 was filed against him. We settled it already a year ago paying the full amount with the 5k attorneys fees as agreed. just this year when my husband was already processing his paper we discovered that there was a pending case of BP22 against him because it reflected in his NBI clearance which we already clearly settled it with the lending institution. And when we are requesting for that lending company about such case they were asking us again payments for certain penalties which we haven’t agreed before. What do we need to do to clear my husband’s nbi clearance. We have the documents such as the statement of account stated we already paid such debt. And also the Acknowledgement receipt duly signed by the person in charge of our account. Thank you. Looking forward for your response. God bless!

Hi atty. I made a loan from a lending company last 2014. I issued several checks for the payment of the loan. I was able to manage to pay some of the checks, but unfortunately, my checking account closed. I immediately notified the party involved that my account was closed and I was remitting payment through BDO. I stopped making payments because of financial constraints and ad time goes by, I forgot that I still owed money to them. Now, I was advised that I have an existing case and had a warrant but never really received anything. I reached out to them via email but their respnses were vague. I only loaned 20k, I paid some of them and now they’re asking me to pay 67k. I’m willing to settle but I just need to know the best thing to do as I don’t want to be ripped off and be taken advantage of because they’re always threatening me of the case. I need some heavy advise please.

Good day PO Atty. 7 years ago na stop Ang pag funds ko SA checks due to na unemployed ako. I went abroad but di ako sinwerte, unstable job ako ftrom 2911 to present.

Thank you PO jn advance SA reply
Good day PO Atty. 7 years na po Mula nang nagbounce check Ang bank loan, good pa PO sa simula and due to na unemployed ako di na nakaoagfund. The collecting agency kept haunting me. Can they put me to jail due to stafa kahit 7 years ago na Ang bounce check. Thank you PO in advance SA reply
Good day po Atty. Biron, I hope you are well. I would like to seek for your legal advise. I just came from NBI to claim my clearance today and I was instructed to go to Quality Control. From there the man I spoke with informed me that a case was filed against me prior to violation of BP22. To my understanding from his notes the said case was filed last 2010. I never receive any letter prior to the said case violating BP22 court hearing/summon or any information before this day. The man told me that I have to coordinate with the RTC and make some arrangements to clear what is need. I’m clueless on this and would like to get your best advise and help.
Hello po,
Nagloan po ako ng 60,000 sa isang lending company, for 2 years, with monthly payment na 4300, due to financial hardship, naclosed ung checking account ko,ininform ko nmn sila and still paying the monthly dues, although ang mabigat may penalty ako lagi n 1500 dahil sa bounced na check na pinapasok pa din nila kahit notified na sila, nakiusap ako numerous times na ilipat ung due date ko ng 15 para sakto sa sahod ko, pero ayaw nila
so on top of 4300 na binabayaran ko monthly nadagdagan ako ng 1500 bali 5800 binabayran ko sobrang bigat na po para sa isang single mom na tulad ko. nadelay ako ng ilang araw pero binigyan na nila ko ng notice of dishonour, nag babayad ako over the counter for many months na po notified sila na closed na ung account and all saklaw pa din po ba un ng BP22?

Good eve atty.
Ask ko lng po yung pdc ba na not paid in full ay pwede ka sampahan ng bp 22?
Year 2012 nag loan po kami sa isang lending company na 40k na ginamit ng asawa ko sa pag aabroad at tseke ang ginamit ng company as our way of payment, nakahulog na kami ng 3 mos and after that nastop dahil bumagsak negosyo namin at hindi na kami nakahulog ulit. Kukuha sana ako ng nbi kaso may hit un nbi ko na bp 22 so hindi ako nakakuha ng clearance, ano po kaya magandang gawin para ma-clear ako sa nbi?
Hi Atty.
Nakareceived po ako ng sub poena and will submit counter affidavit. Ask ko lang po ilang fays po bago lumabas ang resolution and pwede po bang mag post na ng bail bago po lumabas ang warrant? Thank you po sa pagreply.
Goodday po, nag payment arrangement po ako sa credit card, pinag issue po nila ako nag 60pcs pdc. Kaso nang nasa 21pcs lang nabayaran ko. Kasi nagka medical problem ako so indi ko nabayran na. Pina close ko yung account para indi na sila ka issue.. Pero mali pala ang ginawa ko.. Nag notify ako sa knila na close na ang account at dahil dun sinabi ko na mag over the counter ako kapalit nun is i pull out nila ang remaining pdc ko. Pero nag mamatigas sila kasi yun daw yung pinanghahawakan nila.. So, ngayun oct. 28 mag 3 bouncing check na ako. Kung indi pa din daw mabayaran ang 10800 na total amount sa 3 bouncing check ma close yung agreement at i bill full nila ako at ang 3rd party collection agency ang mangungulit sa akon.. Ang tanong ko po, possible po ba nga kakasuhan nila ako nang bp 22?salamat po. Tulunga. Nyo po ako please
