Bail in the Philippines can be posted as a corporate surety bond, a property bond, a cash deposit, or recognizance. A licensed surety company can sign the bond together with the accused. A cash deposit goes to the government treasurer and any amount left after fines and costs is returned to whoever paid it.
Corporate surety bonds are written by surety companies under the Insurance Code, which says the surety is entitled to its premium once the bond is perfected and delivered.
