    FACTS:
    Ricardo de la Camara, Municipal Mayor of Magsaysay, Misamis Oriental was
    arrested and detained at the Provincial Jail of Agusan, for his alleged participation in the
    killing of 14 and the wounding of 12 other laborers of the Tirador Logging Co., at
    Agusan del Sur. The Provincial Fiscal of Agusan filed with the CFI a case for multiple
    frustrated murder and another for multiple murder against de la Camara, his co-accused
    Tagunan and Galgo. De la Camara filed an application for bail to the lower court.

    Presiding Judge Manuel Enage started the trial of de la Camara, the prosecution
    resting its case on 10 July 1969. On 10 August 1970, the judge issued an order granting
    de la Carmara's application for bail and fixed the bail bond at the excessive amount of
    P1,195.200.00, the sum of P840,000.00 for the information charging multiple murder
    and P365.200.00 for the offense of multiple frustrated murder Secretary of Justice
    Vicente Abad Santos, upon being informed of such order sent a telegram to the Judge
    stating that bond required “is excessive" and suggesting that a P 40,000.00 bond, either
    in cash or property would be reasonable. to killing of 14 and the wounding of 12 other
    laborers of the Tirador Logging Co., at Agusan del Sur.

    The Provincial Fiscal of Agusan filed with the CFI a case for multiple frustrated
    murder and another for multiple murder against de la Camara, his co-accused Tagunan
    and Galgo. De la Camara filed an application for bail to the lower court. Presiding Judge
    Manuel Enage started the trial of de la Camara, the prosecution resting its case on 10
    July 1969. On 10 August 1970, the judge issued an order granting de la Camara's
    application for bail and fixed the bail bond at the excessive amount of P1,195,200.00,
    the sum of P840,000.00 for the information charging multiple murder and P355,200.00
    for the offense of multiple frustrated murder. Secretary of Justice Vicente Abad Santos,
    upon being informed of such order, sent a telegram to the Judge stating that the bond
    required "is excessive" and suggesting that a P40,000.00 bond, either in cash or
    property, would be reasonable. De la Camara filed motion for reconsideration to reduce
    the amount. The Judge however remained adamant. De la Camara escaped from the
    provincial jail on April 28, 1971.

    ISSUE:
    Whether or not the amount of the bail bond is excessive

    HELD:
    Yes, where the right to bail exists, it should not be rendered nugatory by requiring a sum
    that is excessive. So the Constitution commands. If there were no such prohibition, the
    right to bail becomes meaningless. Nothing can be clearer, therefore, than that the
    amount of P1, 195,200.00 is clearly violative of this constitutional provision under the
    circumstances
