| When an act or acts violate two or more different laws and constitute two different offenses, a prosecution under one will not bar a prosecution under the other.[50] The constitutional right against double jeopardy only applies to risk of punishment twice for the same offense, or for an act punished by a law and an ordinance.[51] The prohibition on double jeopardy does not apply to an act or series of acts constituting different offenses. | |||||

| We disagree with appellant's averments. Unlawful aggression presupposes an actual, sudden and unexpected attack or imminent danger thereof. Such aggression refers to an attack that has actually broken out or materialized or is at the very least clearly imminent; it cannot consist merely of any oral threat or intimidating stance or posture.
