probationable.
2) That the ruling of this Honorable Supreme Court in
the case of Pablo Francisco versus Court of Appeals,
et al., G.R. No. 108747, is not applicable to the
instant case because in the said Francisco case the
accused therein can apply for probation because the
penalty imposed by the lower court was already
probationable but the accused instead appealed the
decision but in the case of herein petitioners they
cannot apply for probation when they were
convicted because the penalty imposed by the lower
court was more than six (6) years and therefore
non-probationable.
3) That the decision of the Court of Appeals herein
sought to be reviewed is clearly
10
contrary to the
purpose of the Probation Law.
