    METROPOLITAN TRIAL COURT


    National Capital Judicial Region
    Caloocan City
    Branch ______

    PEOPLE OF THE PHILIPPINES


    Plaintiff,
    CRIM. CASE NO. 1234

    RECKLESS IMPRUDENCE
    RESULTING IN HOMICIDE
    -versus-

    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    Accused.
    X---------------------------------------X

    MOTION TO REDUCE BAIL

    ACCUSED, by himself, most respectfully moves to reduce his bail


    and avers that:

    1. On July 22, 2019, an information was filed charging the


    accused of the crime of reckless imprudence resulting in
    homicide and the bail recommended for his temporary
    release was set at P30,000.00.

    2. He is temporarily detained at Caloocan City Jail.

    3. The accused is an ordinary citizen who is earning his


    income from driving public utility jeepney. His four
    children are depending on him for support. He has no
    other source of income as his wife is plain housewife.

    4. Under Section 4 of A.M. No. 12-11-2-SC 1, if the accused


    does not have the financial ability to post the amount of
    bail that the court initially fixed, he may move for its
    reduction, submitting for that purpose such documents or
    affidavit as may warrant the reduction he seeks.

    5. Furthermore, the Supreme Court Committee for


    Decongestion of Provincial City and Municipal Jails has
    recommended for the adoption of guidelines for

    1
    Guidelines for Decongesting Holding Jails by Enforcing the Rights of the Accused Persons to Bail and
    Speedy Trial
    decongesting holding jails by enforcing the rights of
    accused persons to bail and to speedy trial2.

    6. Considering that the accused is still presumed innocent


    until proven guilty, as guaranteed by our Constitution and
    embodied in the Rules of Court, we seek the indulgence
    of this Honorable Court to allow the accused to post bond
    in a reduced amount in order to allow the accused to post
    bond in a reduced amount in order for him to continue to
    support the finances of his family and for him to enjoy his
    temporary liberty outside the congested Caloocan City
    jail.

    PRAYER

    WHEREFORE, it is most respectfully prayed to this Honorable Court


    to reduce the bail from P30,000.00 to P15, 000.00.

    Other reliefs just and equitable are likewise prayed.

    July 26, 2019, Caloocan City
