Under the Bouncing Checks Law (Section 1, BP 22), a person found criminally liable for issuing a worthless check or a check that is dishonored upon its presentation for payment may be penalized with (1) imprisonment of not less than 30 days but not more than one year; or (2) a fine of not less or more than double the amount of the check, and shall in no case exceed P200,000; or (3) both such fine and imprisonment at the discretion of the court. But is this penalty not in violation of the Constitution (Section 20, Article III) which prohibits imprisonment as a punishment for not paying a debt.
