The 1987 Constitution of the Philippines categorically prohibits the passing of any ex post facto law. Article III (Bill of Rights), Section 22 specifically states: "No ex post facto law or bill of attainder shall be enacted."

  • One which assumes to regulate civil rights and remedies only, BUT, in effect imposes a penalty or deprivation of a right, which, when done, was lawful.

Ex-post Facto Law

  • One which alters the legal rules of evidence and receives less testimony than the law required at the time of the commission of the offense in order to convict the accused.

(Latin for "from after the action" or "after the facts")

  • One which deprives a person accused of a crime of some lawful protection to which he has become entitled such as the protection of a former conviction or acquittal, or a proclamation of amnesty.
  • One which makes an action done before passing of the law, and which was innocent when done, criminal and punishes such action.
  • One which aggravates the crime or makes it greater than when it was committed.
  • One which changes the punishment and inflicts a greater punishment than which the law annexed to the crime when it was committed.
