SERENO, C.J. |
||||
| As probation is a mere discretionary grant, petitioner was bound to observe full obedience to the terms and conditions pertaining to the probation order or run the risk of revocation of this privilege.[34] Regrettably, petitioner wasted the opportunity granted him by the RTC to remain outside prison bars, and must now suffer the consequences of his violation.[35] The Court's discretion to grant probation is to be exercised primarily for the benefit of organized society and only incidentally for the benefit of the accused.[36] Having the power to grant probation, it follows that the trial court also has the power to order its revocation in a proper case and under appropriate circumstances.[37] | |||||
