Criminal Cases; Why "People of the Philippines vs. The Accused?

-

 RE: Criminal Cases; Why "People of the Philippines vs. The Accused? 



In criminal law, a criminal case is not just a dispute between two individuals, but it is considered a crime against the State. This is why, in the title of the case, we often see the name "People of the Philippines" versus the accused. 


Unlike civil cases where the parties involved are typically individuals or entities, criminal cases involve offenses committed against the community or the nation as a whole. When a crime is committed, it is not only seen as a violation of the rights of an individual victim, but also as an affront to the social order and the principles that uphold our society. 


The use of the term "People of the Philippines" in the title of the case signifies that it is the State or the government that is the aggrieved party, seeking justice and redress for the harm caused. Through the criminal justice system, the State acts as the representative of the entire community and brings charges against the accused on behalf of the people. 


This perspective reflects the need for communal protection, deterrence, and punishment for acts that threaten the peace, security, and well-being of society as a whole. The criminal justice system aims to safeguard the interests of the State and its citizens, and holds individuals accountable for their actions that harm or endanger others. 


By designating criminal cases as crimes against the State, it emphasizes the seriousness and gravity of the offenses committed. It underscores the significance of upholding societal norms, maintaining order, and imposing penalties on those who violate the law. This classification further reinforces the principle that criminal acts are not just personal matters, but have broader implications on the welfare and stability of the entire society. 


Finally, framing criminal cases as offenses against the State contributes to the preservation of the rule of law and the upholding of societal order. By attributing the case to the people or the State, it underscores the collective interest in maintaining a fair and just society and the need for accountability and punishment when those values are violated.
