    A quasi-recidivist is someone who commits a felony after being convicted of any crime but before serving their sentence for the first crime. To be considered a quasi-recidivist, the second crime must be a felony. For a quasi-recidivist, the maximum penalty will always be imposed for the second conviction regardless of any mitigating circumstances. Recidivism is defined as two felony convictions under the same title of the Revised Penal Code, and the maximum penalty can be imposed unless mitigating circumstances are present.

    QUASI-RECIDIVIST:

    In article 160, a quasi-recidivist is one who has been convicted


    by a final judgment of any crime whether the first conviction is
    for a felony or an offense punished by a special law. But after
    finalty of judgment before serving the first sentence or while
    serving sentence he commits a felony.
    It is important to note that, the second crime which he commits
    while serving his sentence for the first crime should always be a
    felony to become a quasi-recidivist. Because if the second
    conviction is for a crime no punished by the Revised Penal Code
    he will not be a quasi-recidivist.
    The nature of the penalty of a quasi-recidivist is a special
    aggravating circumstance because under the law, the penalty for
    a quasi-recidivist for that second conviction shall be imposed in
    its maximum period and it could never be offset by the presence
    of any mitigating circumstance.

    RECIDIVISM:
    When the offender has been convicted by two felonies that has
    been embraced in the same title of the Revised Penal Code. The
    penalty shall be raised in the maximum because the nature of
    recidivism is a generic aggravating circumstance.
    However, if there is a mitigating circumstance to offset the same
    then it will not raise the penalty to its maximum period.
