Filing Fee for Estafa / BP22

Good Afternoon,

I filed a case against a person, of ESTAFA / violation of BP22 in the prosecutor's office, 10 counts for 10 bouncing checks. The prosecutor's office resolved and send it to the MeTC.

When I visited the MeTC, I was asked to prepare the following:

Manager's check for the ff: accounts:
1. SAJ MeTc 80 = P5000
2. JDF - MeTc 80 = P5000.
3. PMC - PhilJa MeTc 80 = P5000

I would like to clarify if this fees are real fees and is it counted per check?

It is just that I already lost P148K and still need to pay so much for the case to prove. Is there any way to lower this? What rational to use?

Do I need a lawyer by now considering that I am the complainant/Plaintiff?

Thank you for your advise.

hi po, nakapunta ka na po ba sa mismong office ng MeTC? dapat po naka paskil yung computations nila jan at may explanation sila kung paano nila na arrive yung ganyang computation. not really sure din po in my part, atty, nga ba?

Those are real fees based on the actual damages. The actual damages is the value of the checks.
