MITIGATING CIRCUMSTANCES ARTICLE 13 OF THE REVISED PENAL CODE BOOK 1 • Based on the diminution of either the freedom of action, intelligence, or intent, or on the lesser perversity of the offender. Those that have the effect of reducing the penalty by one or more degrees lower than the imposable penalty. • MITIGATING CIRCUMSTANCES: • 1.) Incomplete justifying or exempting circumstances, because all the requisites necessary to justify the act or to exempt from criminal liability in the respective cases are not attendant/present. • 2) The offender is under 18 or over 70 years old. • 3) The offender had no intention to commit so grave a wrong as that committed (praeter intentionem). • 4) Sufficient provocation or threat on the part of the offended party immediately preceded the act. • 5) The act was committed in the immediate vindication of a grave offense to the one committing the felony, his spouse, ascendants, descendants, etc. • 6) Passion or obfuscation - Having acted upon an impulse so powerful as naturally to have produced passion or obfuscation. • 7) Voluntary surrender. • Requisites: • a.
