    BATAS PAMBANSA BLG. 22
    AN ACT PENALIZING THE MAKING OR DRAWING AND ISSUANCE OF A CHECK
    WITHOUT SUFFICIENT FUNDS OR CREDIT AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES.

    Section 1. Checks without sufficient funds. - Any person who makes or
    draws and issues 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,
    shall be punished by imprisonment of not less than thirty days but not more
    than one (1) year or by a fine of not less than but not more than double the
    amount of the check which fine shall in no case exceed Two Hundred
    Thousand Pesos, or both such fine and imprisonment at the discretion of the
    court. chan robles virtual law library

    The same penalty shall be imposed upon any person who, 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.

    Where the check is drawn by a corporation, company or entity, the person or
    persons who actually signed the check in behalf of such drawer shall be
    liable under this Act.

    Sec. 2. Evidence of knowledge of insufficient funds. - The making, drawing
    and issuance of a check payment of which is refused by the drawee because
    of insufficient funds in or credit with such bank, when presented within
    ninety (90) days from the date of the check, shall be prima facie evidence of
    knowledge of such insufficiency of funds or credit unless such maker or
    drawer pays the holder thereof the amount due thereon, or makes
    arrangements for payment in full by the drawee of such check within (5)
    banking days after receiving notice that such check has not been paid by the
    drawee.
    Sec. 3. Duty of drawee; rules of evidence. - It shall be the duty of the
    drawee of any check, when refusing to pay the same to the holder thereof
    upon presentment, to cause to be written, printed, or stamped in plain
    language thereon, or attached thereto, the reason for drawee's dishonor or
    refusal to pay the same: Provided, That where there are no sufficient funds
    in or credit with such drawee bank, such fact shall always be explicitly stated
    in the notice of dishonor or refusal. In all prosecutions under this Act, the
    introduction in evidence of any unpaid and dishonored check, having the
    drawee's refusal to pay stamped or written thereon or attached thereto, with
    the reason therefor as aforesaid, shall be prima facie evidence of the making
    or issuance of said check, and the due presentment to the drawee for
    payment and the dishonor thereof, and that the same was properly
    dishonored for the reason written, stamped or attached by the drawee on
    such dishonored check.

    Notwithstanding receipt of an order to stop payment, the drawee shall state
    in the notice that there were no sufficient funds in or credit with such bank
    for the payment in full of such check, if such be the fact.

    Sec. 4. Credit construed. - The word "credit" as used herein shall be
    construed to mean an arrangement or understanding with the bank for the
    payment of such check.

    Sec. 5. Liability under the Revised Penal Code. - Prosecution under this Act
    shall be without prejudice to any liability for violation of any provision of the
    Revised Penal Code.
    Sec. 6. Separability clause. - If any separable provision of this Act be
    declared unconstitutional, the remaining provisions shall continue to be in
    force.
    Sec. 7. Effectivity. - This Act shall take effect fifteen days after publication in
    the Official Gazette.

    Approved: April 3, 1979.
