MOTION TO ALLOW ACCUSED TO ENTER INTO


PLEA BARGAINING AGREEMENT
(With Request for Drug Dependency Test)

Accused, assisted by the Public Attorney’s Office, unto this


Honorable Court, most respectfully files this motion and avers that:

1. In the landmark case of Estipona vs. Lobrigo, (G.R. 226679, 15


August 2017) the Supreme Court has allowed plea bargaining in
drug cases. Subsequently, the Supreme Court issued A.M. No. 18-
03-16-SC or the “Adoption of the Plea Bargaining Framework in
Drugs Cases.” Furthermore, the Office of the Solicitor General
wrote a letter to the Acting Prosecutor General of the DOJ National
Prosecution Service, Pros. Richard Anthony D. Fadullon, to the effect
that it shall not file a petition for certiorari on criminal cases
involving violation of R.A. 9165, which were mentioned in the said
letter, as the motion for plea bargaining in those cases were in
accordance with existing jurisprudence and the guidelines of the
Supreme Court and the DOJ.

2. Pursuant to the foregoing, accused would like to enter into a plea


bargaining agreement with the prosecution and plead guilty to the
lower offense of violation of Section 12, Article II of R.A. 9165.

3. In addition, accused would like to immediately undergo a drug


dependency test for the Honorable Court to determine the
necessary penalty to be imposed in granting this motion.

PRAYER

WHEREFORE, premises considered, it is most respectfully prayed


before this Honorable Court to grant the instant motion.

Other relief and remedies, just and equitable, are likewise prayed
for.
