special laws hmmm,,,,bago ko lang yan narinig ah,,,cgro may regualr din na law noh????? ;D :o

Special law is a law that defines the nature to any act in violation to city or municipal ordinance,and provides penalty therein..

We really need not distinquish regular statutes or special laws for as long as it penalize its violations.
Lets enforce the laws to the fullest. Take the simple traffic rules and regulations, their lack of enforcement result in our most choatic traffic condition almost everywhere in Metro Manila. We also violate intellectual copyright laws of other because of our lack of political will to enforce it. Spineless ang OMB or because of some considerations. Again, we criminologist should be very concern. What crimilogical theory will apply to this kind of abberations in our law enforcement.

I think we should be aware that when we speak of special laws we are refering to those laws or statutes created by virtue of Presidential Decrees, Republic Acts, Ordinances. And to me, its not a matter of whether or not the law is special as punishable by PDs RAs or ordinances. What matters most is that, all laws should be enforce fully.

Sometimes, we most talk of how we create laws then after that we criticize how they are being implemented, most often than not, we ignore these laws and violate them instead of obeying or following them.

Bingo Matt.

A Law so good seldom obeyed;so severe seldom executed...

In vino Veritas- in wine there is truth

Actus non Facit reum onisi Mens sit rea-the act cannot be criminal unless the mind criminal.

Los prospricit,non respicit-the Law looks Forward not Backward..

animus Lucrandi-intent to hain is established thru overt acts
