Less grave felonies are those which the law punishes with penalties which in their maximum period are correccional, in accordance with the above-mentioned article. Light felonies are those infractions of law for the commission of which the penalty of arresto menor or a fine not exceeding 200 pesos or both, is provided.

Or ⬇️

What is the reason for the general rule that "light felonies are punishable only when they are consummated?" Light felonies produce such light, such insignificant moral and material injuries that public conscience is satisfied with providing a light penalty for their consummation.
