Issue whether maguddatu et al are entitled to bail

apprehension and service of sentence of Aniceto Maguddatu and Laureana Maguddatu.
Issue: Whether Maguddatu, et. al. are entitled to bail during the whole duration their case is on appeal.
Ruling:
No. Firstly, Maguddatu, et. al. violated the conditions of their bail. Maguddatu, et. al.'s non-appearance during the promulgation of
the trial court's decision despite due notice and without justifiable reason, and their continued non-submission to the proper
authorities as ordered by the Court of Appeals, constitutes violations of the conditions of their bail. Moreover, it appears that
Maguddatu, et. al. failed to renew their expired bail bond, as shown by a Motion, dated 6 January 1987, filed by AFISCO Insurance
Corporation, praying for the cancellation of petitioners' bail bond because of the latter's failure to renew the same upon its expiration.
Lastly, Maguddatu, et. al. had no cause to expect that their application for bail would be granted as a matter of course precisely
because it is a matter of discretion. In fact, the filing of a notice of appeal effectively deprived the trial court of jurisdiction to
entertain the motion for bail pending appeal because appeal is perfected by the mere filing of such notice. It has been held that trial
courts would be well advised to leave the matter of bail, after conviction for a lesser crime than the capital offense originally charged,
to the appellate court's sound discretion.
