Rebellion And Absorption Doctrine

Summary

The crime committed by Pedro and Juan is rebellion, as their actions were in furtherance of the New People’s Armys objectives. If unlicensed firearms were used, the crime of illegal possession is absorbed by rebellion due to the doctrine of absorption. Rebellion absorbs common crimes committed in its furtherance, meaning they are not prosecuted separately. In contrast, a coup detat does not require a public uprising, unlike rebellion. Acts of disloyalty under Article 137 include failing to resist rebellion, continuing duties under rebel control, and accepting appointments from rebels. The doctrine of absorption does not apply to sedition, as it involves a public uprising distinct from rebellion.

a. The crime committed is rebellion. Pedro and Juan were members of the New People’s Army and followed the orders of their senior officer, Ka Lolong. The killing of Mayor Pineda was in furtherance of their rebellion activities. Therefore, their actions fall under the crime of rebellion. This is because rebellion absorbs common crimes committed in its furtherance.
b. If Pedro and Juan used unlicensed firearms, the crime of illegal possession of firearms would be absorbed by the crime of rebellion. The doctrine of absorption applies in this case. Since the firearms were used to commit the act in furtherance of rebellion, it is not treated as a separate offense. All actions committed with the purpose of rebellion are considered part of the single crime of rebellion. Thus, illegal possession of firearms is not separately punishable.
c. There cannot be a complex crime of rebellion with murder and other common crimes. The doctrine of absorption states that common crimes committed in furtherance of rebellion are absorbed into the crime of rebellion. This means that such common crimes are not prosecuted separately. Rebellion encompasses all acts done to achieve its political objectives. Hence, rebellion cannot be complexed with murder or other common crimes.

b. There is no public uprising.
In a coup d'etat, the defining characteristic is a swift attack, often by military or police forces, without the need for a public uprising. This differs from rebellion, which involves a public uprising and taking up arms against the government. The coup d'etat focuses on quickly seizing or diminishing state power through strategic and stealthy actions. Thus, the absence of a public uprising is what distinguishes it from rebellion.
