What is Constitutionality of Bouncing Check Law about?

The case Lozano vs Martinez challenged the constitutionality of Batas Pambansa Bilang 22 (BP 22), the Bouncing Check Law, with petitioners arguing it violated the prohibition against imprisonment for debt. The ruling determined that BP 22 does not punish non-payment of debts but rather the act of issuing worthless checks, thus aligning with public order and welfare. The law aims to prevent harmful practices related to dishonored checks, which significantly impact the economy.
