Cuyo v. People of the Philippines involved a perjury case where the petitioner was convicted and sentenced to 4 months imprisonment. During the promulgation of the judgment, the petitioner was absent without justifiable cause. The Supreme Court held that under Rule 120, Section 6 of the Rules of Criminal Procedure, an accused who fails to appear for the promulgation of judgment without justifiable cause loses all remedies available against the judgment. However, if the offense is light, the judgment can be promulgated to the counsel or representative of the accused.
