REMIGIO S. ONG v. PEOPLE

This case has been cited 1 times or more.

YNARES-SANTIAGO, J.
We do not agree. In Ong v. People,[22] we held that what the law punishes is the issuance of a bouncing check, not the purpose for which it was issued nor the terms and conditions relating to its issuance. The mere act of issuing a worthless check is malum prohibitum, provided the other elements of the offense are properly proved.[23]
