The President Pro Tempore noted this discrepancy in penalties during the deliberations, thus: "The penalty in the case of those who commit acts of lasciviousness is that they are punished under the Penal Code with merely prision correccional. That seems to be rather odd, because this is if the child, in the Penal Code, is less than 15, the penalty is higher or heavier. That is reclusion temporal, whereas, if the child is less than 12, it is only prision correccional." (Record of the Senate, Vol. II, No. 52, August 21, 199l, p. 605.) [25] [26] 357 Phil. 987 (1998).
