  THE ACCUSED, by counsel, respectfully moves to be allowed to post bail on

a   preliminary   investigation   and   executed   a   waiver   of   his   rights   under
Article 125 of the Revised Penal Code;

4. Pending   preliminary   investigation,   the   accused   may   apply   for   bail


pursuant  to  Rule  112, Section   7 (2nd  paragraph)   of the  Rules   of Court

the   Revised   Penal   Code,   as   amended,   in   the   presence   of   his

5. Moreover, accused is entitled to bail as a matter of right under Rule 114,
Section 4 of the Rules of Court, to wit:

Sec.   4.  Bail,   a   matter   of   right;   exception.   —  All   persons   in

sufficient sureties, or released on recognize as prescribed by law or
this Rule (a) before or after conviction by the Metropolitan Trial

7. Thus, notwithstanding that there was yet no information filed before the
appropriate court, the accused, as a matter of right, is not precluded from
posting bail pending case investigation.

as a matter of right. 
WHEREFORE,   it   is   respectfully   prayed   that   the   accused  DISIDIDO   D.
