Answer

The penalty for robbery depends on the mode. Robbery with violence against or intimidation of persons is penalized under Article 294, with the penalty rising sharply where the robbery results in homicide, rape, or serious physical injuries. Robbery by the use of force upon things (Articles 299 to 302) is penalized according to whether the property was taken from an inhabited or uninhabited place and the value involved.

The property-value thresholds that determine the penalty for robbery with force upon things were updated by Republic Act No. 10951 (2017), which adjusted the Revised Penal Code's value brackets to present-day amounts. In the gravest case — robbery with homicide — the penalty is reclusión perpetua (the death penalty having been abolished by Republic Act No. 9346).
