Danao v. People

Summary

The Supreme Court denied Miriam B. Danao's petition for review and affirmed her conviction for two counts of BP 22 violations. Danao issued checks that were dishonored for insufficient funds. Despite receiving notice of dishonor and demands for payment, she failed to settle the amounts or make payment arrangements. The Court found all elements of the crime established: issuance of checks, knowledge of insufficient funds, and subsequent dishonor. The case demonstrates strict application of BP 22's criminal liability provisions for bouncing checks, emphasizing that actual receipt of dishonor notice and failure to make payment arrangements constitutes criminal liability under the law.
