Violation of Sec. 10(a) of RA 7610

MOTION TO REDUCE BAIL

COMES NOW ACCUSED, unto this Honorable Court, most respectfully states
THAT:
1. He is presently detained at the _________ Police Station, __________ by reason of
the above-entitled case;
2. The recommended bail for his provisional liberty is fixed at Php80,000.00;
3. Much as he wanted to avail of his constitutional right to bail, the accused could not
do so for the simple reason of poverty and the amount of his bail is too much for him
to afford;
4. He does not own any property, real or personal, of substantial value to secure the
amount of his bail; thus, he prays that the Php80,000.00 be reduced to
Php40,000.00.
WHEREFORE, it is most respectfully prayed of this Honorable Court that the bail
bond for the provisional liberty of the accused be reduced from Php80,000.00 to
Php40,000.00. Other relief and remedies just and equitable under the premises are
likewise prayed for.
