People vs. Yabut, " (T) He Theory Is That A Person Indicted With A Transitory

In Ibasco v. Court of Appeals, the Supreme Court held that a violation of B.P. Blg. 22, which governs bouncing checks, is considered a continuing crime. The venue for such crimes is the location where the check was made, issued, drawn, and delivered, as the delivery of the check represents the final and essential act to finalize it as a financial obligation. As such, bouncing check crimes can be validly tried in any jurisdiction where part of the offense was committed, including where the check was delivered.

In Ibasco v. Court of Appeals, G.R. No.

117488, September 5, 1996, it was held


that Violation of B.P. Blg. 22 is in the nature of a continuing crime. Venue is
determined by the place where the elements of making, issuing, or drawing
of the check and delivery thereof are committed. Thus, as explained in
People vs. Yabut, "[t]he theory is that a person indicted with a transitory
offense may be validly tried in any Jurisdiction where the offense was in
part committed. x x x The place where the bills were written, signed, or
dated does not necessarily fix or determine the place where they were
executed. What is of decisive importance is the delivery thereof. The
delivery of the instrument is the final act essential to its consummation as
an obligation."
